The Blind Burro

Great service. The cilantro lime shrimp taco (I skip the bacon) with the little fried jalapenos is amazing, but the street corn is crack! I could eat it daily.Pricey and worth it.

According to my Yelp history, I've been eating here for over 10 years, almost all of which is during Comic Con weekend. Blind Burro is a good place...you come for the lively ambience, festive downtown crowd, for some elevated and a bit overpriced Mexican food. Service from the staff is always friendly and attentive. Inflation! The Chimichanga Burrito went from $18 to $23 in just a year...I remember it being good but not that good. It's enough food for the average American, but my beer belly needs more. I opted for the $16 Nachos, and added carne asada for extra $6, for a total of $22. This was a lot of food! A generous pile of flour and corn tortilla chips, covered in queso manchego, triple chile cheese sauce, pico de gallo, radish, candied jalapeños, guacamole, queso cotija and that extra $6 carne asada that was beefy, tender, and delicious! I ate about 2/3rds of this before giving up and sharing with my friends. This is the best bang for your burro!

I was in San Diego for a conference and had the pleasure of eating here not once, but TWICE it was that good! Everything I ate was delicious, savory, and decently authentic. Service was excellent and accommodating as we were a large group that required multiple receipts. Wait staff was undeterred by this "challenge." Ambiance was fun, lively, and energetic. We sat outside and could see passersby in their Padres gear, tourists, and folks of all walks of life! Proximity to my hotel and conference venue were convenient and easy to get to.The food was bar none! While everything I ate was great - my favorite was the pozole! Definitely the reason I returned for lunch the next day. A fun side dish was the Mexican street corn (aka esquite) - this isn't hard to make and was a refreshing accompaniment to my surf and tacos! This place is definitely worth checking out!

Best place to grub and people watch especially during Comic Con! I'm so happy I was able to make reservations on the open table app because I knew it would get crowded. We were sat down immediately, our server was very attentive and the Comic Con Beetlejuice specials were pretty cool! Food was priced right and drinks were on point! My husband and son enjoyed their TJ Hot Dog with Fries & their chips and salsa. We will come again!

I've been eating here for 2 years and how have I not written a review. Their in house made chorizo is amazing. I have no choice but to get the Sonoran crisp and add chorizo. The margaritas are amazing and of course local beers on tap. The service is always spot on and with it being on the corner you get great people watching! Some other favorites are protein bowl, taquitos, carnitas tacos, and the churros!

I just want to start that the food is delicious. I had the burger and I was amazed by the flavor oozing from the patty when I squeezed it. Perfectly cooked to how I wanted it. I want to advise that the Nachos is a huge portion for about 4 people easily so the $16 is worth it. The tacos were delicious and I was happy that they are dipped in oil as they should be (since they are called "street tacos"). The Queso especially was delicious but I didn't taste any of the meat since the cheese stole the spotlight. The service was astounding. We came in on a busy hour before a dodger game and we waited a little bit to sit down but they served us promptly after being seated. I was especially happy with the service.The restaurant is a stop by for a beer type of place as they have plenty of space and TV's to accommodate people wanting to see a game of their favorite sport. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Walked around Downtown SD and decided as a group to check out the Blind Burro. Restaurant is very festive. Food and drinks were just okay.+ Lobster tacos 2/5: This did not taste like Maine lobster at all. It tasted more like super dry and chewy crawfish. The garlic butter was extremely greasy as well. Pricey without the quality. The street corn that came with it was so spicy when I was told it wasn't.+ Organic caramelized pineapple 3/5: Not the best margarita, but it got the job done.Lastly, service was so disappointing for me. I gave my credit card to the server secretly in advance to pay for the meal. Usually in situations like this, the server would just bring the invoice for me to sign when check is requested later on. Well, the server forgot and was about to take my friend's card as payment. I had to stand and remind her that my card is already in her possession. Ugh.

Good place to hang out in the Gaslamp with friends. Also family friendly during the day. Service was very good. Drinks were good. We had beer and a mango skinny margarita . Food was average but big portions. We ordered a breakfast burrito and the chilaquiles with carne asada. The breakfast burrito was huge and the chilaquiles was served in a big bowl filled with chips. I felt it was too much chips let over after I ate it with the egg , avocado and carne asada. This sports bar had plenty of space for groups.

The restaurant is a walkable distance from the ballpark which is useful when you're hungry after the game or if you want to get drinks. We were seated right away without reservations which was a treat on such a busy night. The restaurant was a bar like setting and quick to deliver meals and drinks. The drinks were delicious, the food was alright. We ordered the salsa flight which was fun but the burro bowl with added carne asada was a bit on the salty side. Regardless we still ate, drank, and enjoyed. I would come back.

Our Bartenders were top notch. We watched the game last night at their street side bar and it was perfect. The food was terrific, drinks were on point and the tenders were hustling their butts off. Big shout out to Tiffany, Jeremey, and Kate. Best Tenders I've had in a long time. Thanks from your Alaskan friends. Go Padres! -Jess&Brian
