El Sabroso

This small place has been here forever and everything is very good! Generous with the meats so you get your money's worth. Great breakfast burritos also!

Great food at a reasonable price. The owner works hard to make tasty meals, and is very generous with his portions. Salsas are fresh, and a very wide variety of foods on the menu. I eat breakfast there often, never disappointed.

One of the best hidden gems in San Diego, truly homemade taste and great prices for this mad economy Highly recommend the super chilaquiles but everything there's is very sabroso (tasty) 😋😋😋👍 As January 2026 still 5 ⭐

The salsas here were amazing! We ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito and 5 rolled tacos. Prices were very affordable and the atmosphere was very nice. Tables were clean and chairs were sturdy and comfortable. They had a tv on and were very welcoming. Also gave great recommendations.

Okay this was our first sign to this little ma and pa type place. Just a small Mexican restaurant. The place was clean and the food was pretty good. Definitely authentic Mexican food. Quaint little atmosphere.

Nice Mom and Pop shop that has good combos that are reasonably priced. The food was good.

Food is great. Price is phenomenal. Place is a little run down. But it's a great whole in the wall

Had a decent experience here. This is definitely one of the better tasting taco shops in the area. Food is not too greasy. There is a good amount of parking here as well. That's important because, I don't like to park far away from the entrance if I'm eating in or taking out. The staff is refreshingly friendly. That's also really important. So I definitely recommend giving them a try sometime.

I drive by this place regularly and never even thought about going there for food because it doesn't look like much from the outside. I went there a few days ago, and I'm so glad I did! Great value, great taste, and authentic.

Stopped in for breakfast and it took a little long but the burrito was huge... ended up taking half home for next days beeakfast. Tiny place. Huge menu. Lots of salsas but not a good fresh tomato one.

The food was delicious, the serving staff were awesome, but the place is very dated and needs some solid revamping. Good for a quick bite.

Service was great. Really nice people. First time in this taco shop. I ordered a Sabroso Burrito. It was really bad. The sour cream tasted like it was not good anymore. I love sour cream. I only took 3 Bites of that burrito and i was done. Felt sick right away. Tried using the green salsa and the salsa was as bad. Seemed like it was done weeks before. Sorry but i will not go back again. 😩😩

Worst Mexican fast food I've been to. The meat is very old and smelly. I was hungry and tried to force myself to eat, but I just couldn't because the food just stinks of old meat. I'm never coming back here.

My husband and I went to Sabrosos at 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening and we were ordering food and we put in our order and the lady that evening told us that they were closing at 8 so basically they kicked us out of the restaurant in so many words they didn't want to cook the food or they wanted us to take the food to go, but we wanted to eat there because we had an hour and a half drive home and I had just gotten out of work . I hope the management see this because we've been going there for years. In the restaurant business if somebody walks into the establishment they attend to the customer even if they are about to close. Thank you Angel and Bertha

It was my first and LAST time there. The food taste was average but the red salsa was spoiled... I told the lady who works there, who by the way seem rude! And she did nothing about it. I DO NOT recommend this place!

I’m only writing this because I got sick. I got a California burrito and when sat down to eat it there was just oily food. The tortilla was soggy due to the oil and the food was not properly cooked. A few pieces of meat were undercooked and the potatoes were definitely still raw. I just want to make sure no one has to feel the way I feel right now. I went for lunch which makes me believe the food just sits out and the put it in oil hoping to make it fresh again.

Greasy spoon! This "Mexican" restaurant is gross! The food is oily and gross, the windows, floors, walls, and ceiling are filthy! Unless you want to get very ill, I suggest eating somewhere where the owner actually cares about their customer! It is evident by the appearance of this place that this owner could not care any less about their customer than they already do!
