Don Bravos Authentic Mexican Cusine

I ordered the Don Bravo bowl without rice and loaded it with salsa and fresh cilantro...it was awesome! Smokey flavor and the carne asada was perfectly grilled. A great little authentic place!Beautiful view of the ocean as well.

I would give this place 1 star but the food isn't bad.Been here twice, live up the street in Windansea.Came in here with a friend tonight for taco Tuesday which is advertised as:"2.49 Fish Tacos, $3.49 carne Asada tacos"After we ordered and looked at our receipt we realized we had been charged the regular price, not the taco Tuesday price. So I asked the cashier and manager (?) man in his late 20's, not sure his name, why we were charged the regular price? The cashier and manager didn't really have an answer and asked me what the taco Tuesday prices are ?? Shouldn't you know that?He didn't apologize so I asked if instead of refunding us we could get a drink and he said no because that's not the same and then tried to have me pay the difference for the drink. I said no it's fine I'm just trying to make it easy and you don't have to refund two tickets. He said no that's harder and it's not the same so I said fine refund us, he refunded us the wrong amount and refunded my friend's purchase to the wrong credit card. I went up after we grabbed our food and said "look you messed up twice and he said no that's your card" the card DOES NOT MATCH but he kept insisting we're wrong and said "Fine what do you want? A drink? What??" He grabbed two cups and slammed them down in front of us.It was so aggressive and rude, I told them they have shitty customer service and I meant it. I'm shocked anyone comes back here. Don't waste your money.

The inside is nothing to write home about. Very rudimentary. They were stapling the vinyl tablecloth to the tables when I was there. Staff is a bit uncaring about getting in the way. Not the most attentive folks. Both times I was there the condiment bar cilantro and mild salsa was nearly empty. They did refill it upon request. I definitely would not go here for the service or atmosphere, but there were several groups outside having a great time.The food was very good. My burrito was delicious!! So were my tacos. My wife also enjoyed her tacos. Chips and salsa were also good.There's better Mexican food in San Diego, but there's something very fun & charming about this place. Especially if you're looking for a quick meal on the run.Definitely worth a try.

Came with my kids and they thought I was trying to steal a soft drink because my 4 year old went to go get orange juice instead of water when I was getting a table. Mind you I bought 4 drinks already... also they are shiesty with their meat in the burritos, go down the street and skip this place, it's changed ... way overpriced!

If you're looking for real Baja style fish tacos in La Jolla be sure to stop here. We were in search of a mom and pop taco spot and Don Bravo came through. Prices were great and the tacos were huge! The rice was very authentic, reminded me of my Grandmas. Don Bravo has their own parking lot and an amazing ocean view just a block down the street.They serve beer, margaritas and an array of other dishes, hard shell tacos, soft tacos, enchiladas and more. We will definitely be back to enjoy their other items.

My friend wanted a piña colada from here and we decided to stop by for that and a couple of food for the beach which was not too short of a drive away. You can get a great view of the ocean dining out on the patio! The inside is very casual as if you were eating at home. The place had some cool piñatas hung around the shop which was a cute touch. I didn't know what to order but they had two signs that indicated their fish tacos were one of the best things to get, so I opted for one. They have a nice selection of hot sauces in which you get your containers when you receive your order. They were pretty generous with the toppings from the bar as I saw jalapeños, diced onions, and limes. I liked the chipotle sauce the best! It was flavorful with my fish taco. My friend ordered their carne asada fries and they were pretty standard as the fries weren't as crispy as I've had compared to other carne asada fries. Overall, I would give Don Bravos a 4 for the quality of their food and service!

If you want to eat today, you better order yesterday. We waited waaaaaaaaay too long for our order. Street taco and cheese enchilada ordered 44 minutes ago and still waiting. No crowd. No bueno!!!

We like Don Bravos chicken taco combo with rice and beans. Its always good, and you can choose your salsas or fresh cilantro to spice it up.

Great food. Perfect for a post surf sesh. And a great place to meet up with friends. I've had the breakfast burrito multiple times and intend to come back!

We stumbled upon this Mexican restaurant after surfing in nearby Tourmaline beach. Decided to give it a try because their tacos are advertised to be around $2.50/piece only to find out it's going to be for small street tacos. We ended up getting the normal size ones, one battered fish taco and an adobada. The fish taco for $3 was huge and the fish was golden crispy and delicious! I like how they served it in a corn tortilla as I think most places in SD use flour. The adobada taco meanwhile came out to about $5.50 which is so overpriced considering there's nothing out of ordinary about it.Giving this place a 3.5 just for the misleading ad about their promo and for how pricey the adobada is. The fish taco was good, though.
