El Paisa Mexican Grill

El paisa I have mixed emotions about this place. Everything on the menu is really expensive, but they have a really nice bar lounge for a taco shop maybe that justifies the pricing on food .I had the fish tacos and beer 5stars . It didn't disappoint ,I will come back next time to try other items on menu maybe watch a padre game here as well the bar has plenty of TV's.The bartender is very attentive to customers which is key at any bar top lounge . Overall clean , good, they sell beer & Micheladas .

How the heck is there glass in my food ???? Ordered through drive thru they took about 20 min to give me my food terrible service spent about $90 bucks on food to find freakin glass in my mulita !!! Nearly broke my damn tooth I would have gone back to let them know but I was already in Oceanside. I've been trying to call & someone justPicks up and hangs up !!!! Don't fucken eat here !!!Called the place again they finally answered and let them know the situation all they said was do you have a picture I said yes the man on the phone said you can come in and we can give you a new one you gotta be fucken kidding me !!! I'll be calling the health department forsure !!!

Tripa tacos are getting hard to find but this place absolutely killed it. Bout to start coming here been searching for a place for tripa tacos and these are absolutely

I'm always looking for authentic Mexican food and from what I've had so far this place has it. I've only been twice but I'll definitely be going back and trying more items on their menu. I had to get the caldo de res both times, the serving was just right, had all the vegetables (potatoes , chayote, carrots, cabbage and corn) and plenty of meat with a side of rice and your choice of corn or flour tortillas lime and condiments. The carne en su jugo is very tasty and very authentic as well, made with bacon and topped with queso fresco and avocado. Their salsas are very good also and their adobada tacos are so so good!! Love the side of grilled onions and chiles they give you with your tacos. Everything tasted great and like I mentioned very authentic which is not always the case when going to a "Mexican" restaurant.

Disgusting!I ordered a shrimp spicy burrito with sour cream, what I got was a bunch of salsa, rice, sour cream and no shrimp.

So this is a four star place for me for two reasons. Let's start with the good:- I am definitely a regular at this spot, because their street tacos, fajitas, and more are very delicious - they have decent happy hour specials, including on their margaritas - their restaurant is indoor/outdoor and dog friendly, always a plus Why they lose stars:- I went one time and tried to get a margarita, and the server told me that no one at the bar working that day knew how to make margaritas so I couldn't order it. That seemed weird. - I genuinely don't like any of their salsas. They generously provide you with three different kinds with chips when you sit down to eat. Green, regular, and a smoky dark red. The heat and flavor varies significantly every time I've tried them, so I know they're fresh, which is great! I just personally don't like any of them because I feel they are missing that clean, acidic flavor I've come to expect from a restaurant salsa. They are salty and spicy and smoky.. lots of onion and garlic... but where is the lime? The cilantro?- the service is usually great, but I have had interactions that were not super friendly with servers that seemed rushed or like they don't normally work serving and were thrown into it.

You're just like an abusive lover that I keep coming back to! When you're good, you're great. But when you're bad, your meat taste like fabuloso. And then I find a 10x deep fried blackened french fry in my super chips!!! We are officially over! Don't call me, I'll call you. Maybe. Probably not.

Friday 11/17/23 around maybe 10:45 or 11 am. Guy working drive through. I ordered one taco. REGULAR. Ive been here for years and so many times I cant even count them on my hands. Although my experience hasn't been the best it's been convenient and close enough for me to come back and keep giving them a chance but after this day I will never . This guy was extremely rude working drive through. When I ordered I clearly told him NOT THE STREET TACO. And he still managed to hear what he wanted. When i went to the window he charged me ONE street taco which I realized based on price. I still wanted to confirm so I asked if he was sure it wasn't $6 something due to the difference to which he right away gave me a horrible attitude. Which then prompted me to defend myself and tell him that I did order a regular and he might have misunderstood me. He proceed to keep talking back making it seem like it was my fault and I was wrong. To which I replied "why are you talking to me in that way" and he said "because you're saying I'm wrong" Which again, he misunderstood me. If he never came at me that way I wouldn't have reacted back but I have never experienced someone so extremely rude and unprofessional. If you do not like working here. LEAVE. Do the owners and guests a favor cause nobody wants to pay money to a business with employees acting like this. I went to another taco shop with way better service and food and cheaper. Never again.

Solidly average street tacos. I was lured by the rumor of $1.35 taco Tuesday street tacos... only to find that the current inflationary trend has not spared Bario Logan. 2 for 6$ for the tacos which seems to be the trend across taco joints in San Diego these days. And for that price you can do a whole lot better. All tacos were dressed in onions and a flavorless guac sauce.I had the cabeza, pastor and carnitas tacos. All were good.. cabeza being my fav, big chunks super tender and no sinew. Didn't order the chips but was happy to have them, and was charged for them. Had a big old cup of horchata which was very sugary.This is a popular place to watch Futbol at the bar, if you are not interested in the game it is a loud place to grab a bite.

Drive thru cashier thought it was okay to tip herself (Maria) definitely didn't notice till I got home. Would recommend checking receipt before heading out. I don't have an issue with tipping but it was literally a drive thru order and if I felt the service was exceptional i would have lmao.
