Hi, there is a good reason this restaurant expanding to more location; it’s simply because they are good at all aspect of this business. I’ve been costumer to this restaurant for many many years and never, not once had a bad meal. Their salsa is my favorite salsa of all other I’ve tried and their enchiladas sauce is very rich and earthy , it’s as good as Javier’s fine Mexican restaurant in La Jolla . I usually order crispy carne asada burrito and a beef enchilada more than few times a month. Jorge’s is definitely worth trying . They do a lots of take out, potion is good and price is reasonable. Happy dinning

I come here for the fried chicken flautas! Best fried taco in San Diego. It might be a little more expensive, but I like that they include all of the fixings. I don’t have to ask for extra guacamole, sour cream, or cheese. I also highly recommend their bean and cheese burrito with a side of their salsa. It is the ultimate comfort food. The salsa is not very spicy and has a little bit of a vinegar taste to it, but it is still extremely delicious. I think mostly white people with low spice tolerance are shopping here because they don’t have any hot sauces out on the counters. I’ve gone to a bunch of Mexican places all over San Diego and I’ve never found a place that does flautas or chimichangas like this. This place has seating, but it’s mostly designed for takeout. Not much to look at i

There is no restroom, and nowhere to wash your hands! We ordered three tacos, and they were the least flavorful we have ever had, very dry, some not salty at all, some overly salty... Of all the Mexican restaurants in the area, it has the best rating, but I cannot recommend it!

Hands down the best place to get a quick bite of Mexican food in the area. I got the two tacos and one enchilada meal and it was excellent! Flavorful and made to order so it was piping hot. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Will definitely come back here when in the area. What a great find!

Absolutely the worst carnitas I’ve ever had. No crisp. No seasoning. Just salted meat.
