Wow, never had anything like it! I had the salmon burrito and it was delicious! The more I bit into it, the more I enjoyed it. I was a bit disappointed they don't have the lobster burritos for a time being since everyone raves about those. But next time, I'll be back to try them for sure! My bf had... More

I have lived in San Diego for 10+ years. If a visitor stopped and asked me, "Where can I find good Mexican food in San Diego," I would send them to El Zarape. It is a dive! It doesn't feel extremely clean (the bathroom is horrid), it is cramped, and always busy. However, it is a staple of San Diego... More

I went to El Zarape with my family tonight after reading the great reviews on TripAdvisor and Yelp...I was not disappointed! I was looking for good, traditional Mexican food while on vacation in San Diego, and I got it :) My husband and I shared combo #3 which was a "Suft and Turf Burrito" and a fish taco. It also... More

I went here based on good food reviews. While it looked good, the food had almost no flavor, should of went to Taco Bell or Del Taco.

There are 2 El Zarape Restaurants in San Diego, both affiliated. The El Zarape on Park Blvd. is very small with a few tables and excellent Mexican food. The El Zarape at 3201 Adams Ave. is a larger, very authentic Mexican Restaurant. Tortillas are handmade on the premises, and the selection of both Mexican Food, tequila, and beers is superb.... More

Came here with some family for lunch. We got the variety of tacos, burritos, chimichanga's, salad's and soups. Everyone was beyond pleased. Personally the beef burrito was perfectly cooked. The beef just fell apart. I would hight recommend this little gem. Give the chicken chimichanga a try! You won't be disappointed.

I'm not sure how this place gets such good reviews. I love Mexican food and decided to try El Zarape to see what the hoopla was. Still don't know. To start with, the person at the counter (there is no table service) was pretty disinterested and impatient. I was okay with that because there were a lot of people waiting,... More

This is by far the best Mexican joint in San Diego, I was so lucky to be taken here! The shrimp diablo burrito is amazing, and so are the scallop tacos. They also have a huge variety of vegetarian dishes, and are very accommodating for changes to the menu. The staff are super friendly, and if you are lucky to... More

I was in San Diego for just a day and wanted to make sure I had some Mexican food while I was there. I found this place online, and wow it was great. Hole in the wall, but amazing prices and amazing food. I had a lunch special which granted me rice & beans, two fish tacos, and a soda.... More
