Reviews for The Blind Burro in San Diego, CA
I definitely recommend the lobster tacos. The salsa and chips were incredible. I ate on those the entire meal! The rice and... pinto beans were pretty good as well. The street corn was okay. It was highly recommended but there was a lot going on. Also,you kind of bet on margaritas at places like this but the pineapple margarita was, again, okay. The service was good and theoutdoor dining options were amazing. I'd return and try new menu items. Read more
Overall good first experience. The restaurant itself is super cool, and very spacious. Nice menu with a large selection of... Mexican favorites. Food was served hot and very fresh, with what seemed to be high quality ingredients. Didn't give give starsbecause everything was spicy and wish it was optional, because tortillas had an odd flavor and were not as freshly soft as theyshould be, and because I was hoping for a slightly more authentic Mexican flavor. Outside of that, it was a great time. Read more
A nice local restaurant for a happy hour with a solid Mexican menu. The classic dishes were done well. Hearty serving of stacked... nachos. Great flavor on the quesadillas. Come here for a relaxing experience with a laid back ambience. Friendly and efficientservice. Read more
Came here with a friend for dinner and a drink. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was great. Although it was dead... inside it started to pick up a little bit more on this Thursday night around 7:00 or 8:00. The drinks were pretty good, and thefood was average. I must say the food was incredibly overpriced for what it was. The giant machete quesadilla was literallydripping with liquid cheese inside in a not good way. It was impossible to eat and was dripping all over the place. I ate theshrimp out of it which was good but for $25 you would expect something a little better. My friend got the carnitas type tacos.They were pretty basic again, for 23 to $25. For two entrees and one drink each after tip it was $116. A little absurd. Againthe service and the atmosphere was fantastic, come here for drinks not for the food.. Read more
Nice and chill atmosphere. The food tasted fine, but the portion sizes were small based off the price. The fish and Carne asada... tacos were alright,but you can do better outside of the tourist row. Read more
The chicken enchiladas? Fantastic. The salsa flight? Fantastic. Their spicy salsa? Actually spicy. The service was great too.... They're mostly dinged one star because the portions could be bigger on the entree even though it looked and tasted amazing. Read more
Great food and vibe in the Gaslamp District. If you're able to, hit up their Taco Tuesday or Happy Hour. Unfortunately, my group... wasn't able to make either, but they have pretty good deals. Nonetheless, still a good place to hit up. Service was friendly andit's a pretty big restaurant so great for groups. Definitely reserve! I got their Michelada to drink. You'll get the beer onthe side so you can pour it yourself. Really good balance with their spice blend. I got their Short Rib Tacos with their Corn asa side. The tacos were pretty good, but I would probably get their Al Pastor instead. I really enjoyed the Corn and it was mysuprisingly favorite part. Sweet, creamy and fresh! Read more
Came on a Monday during Happy Hour where they have $4.50 beers, and about 5 items under $11 each. We went with: Fish Taco -... came with one, but pretty large and filling Calamari - seasoned really well and nice and crunchy! Came with two dips which wereally enjoyed. Queso Crisp - which was like a crispy chip pizza thing with toppings. Pretty interesting take as it was slicedlike a pizza! Overall ambiance was pretty fun with lots of TVs playing and very attentive staff. Read more
