Todo Pa' La Cruda

My friend really wanted micheladas. Looked this place up and we decided to go. We all ordered our micheladas when we got here and they were all tasty. I would say definitely in my top 5. Then we ordered a bunch of food. Mulita de Adobada - was ok, would order something else. Cucarachas (fried Shrimps) amazing Agua Chile de Camarón - flavorful and with a little kick.Pozole - lacked a bit of flavor, but it was ok Ceviche - delicious Chile relleno - 10/10The service was great. But the establishment itself is a mom and pop so on a hot day you'll feel the heat. So keep that in mind. The area it is located in has scarce parking, so try the cross streets to find better options for parking. We had a hefty bill at the end but it was worth it. Over all we enjoyed all the food and most definitely the micheladas. We'll be coming back to try other dishes as well.

MEXICAN SOUP FOR THE SOUL(3.8 stars)Sometimes you have to travel to the less developed and deeply rooted Mexican neighborhoods of San Diego for that authenticity. Seems to be a very thriving and popular eatery amongst the locals - business was happening. - FOOD: good- PRICE: fair- SERVICE: friendly, attentive, excellent- AMBIANCE: small mom&pop place"June Gloom" is oddly overcast and cold which immediately makes me crave soup. Even with the sun, it was cold. I don't want American or Asian soup but wanted something very comforting. My go-to Mexican soup is Pozole Rojo but this place didn't have that listed on the menu and went for Pozole Blanco (they also have Poxole Verde).:: ORDER ::CHIPS & SALSA ($free) - this is complimentary. The chips were a bit greasy and tasted a little stale. Not sure how often their frying oil is changed out but I felt like I could taste all the fried food flavor in a bite of the tortilla chip. It didn't taste fresh to me. The salsa it came with is orange and believe to be their house salsa because I've never tasted something like that before. I can't quite put my finger on what it's mixed with but the taste wasn't for me. I would prefer regular salsa. POZOLE BLANCO ($14.99) - I chose chicken for my protein. This reminds me of basic chicken soup. Not as flavorful and intense as verde or rojo but a safe play on soup. It came with a side plate of fixings: radish, shredded green cabbage, limes, purple onion, avocado slices, fried tortilla shell, and a pork/carnitas rolled taco. The broth of the Pozole Blanco was well flavored with herbs and a very strong present of (dried) oregano. To help kind of cover that oregano flavor and some random bitterness here and there were all the fixings from the plate. They were not stingy on the chicken and it was super tender. The pork rolled taco was good, not very seasoned pork but loved the crispy ends and meaty inside, however the fried tortilla it was rolled in had the same weird taste that I tasted from the chips. I tried the fried tortilla shell that was also on the plate and felt the same way. I ended up leaving anything fried alone and focusing my eats on the pozole. I rarely order Blanco so I don't have much to compare to but this was a good bowl. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :: SERVICE ::Very good service. Not from this area of town and my Spanish is non-existing but was greeted and welcomed in immediately even when there was a line. Order was quickly placed and also quickly delivered. Other customers were very kind and told and said I would really like the food - I'll take their word on it! I'd love to come back or order take out. The next time I will be a Carne Asada Plate! JABA APPROVED. Until the next review...

If I can give no stars I would . I wish I would've taken a picture of my plate , the meat was previously cooked and they just warmed it up, the tortillas were previously warmed up and they microwave them which made them super hard. In my plate was a for sure a spoon full of oil and when I asked she said it was part of the meat .... Everything was for sure microwave it was so nasty and no flavor. My husband ordered the ribeye tacos .. again tortillas hard and the meat so hard n even cut

El servicio muy atentos y amables desde entra en sus puertas. El lugar tiene una vibra como en un ranchito lleno de amor y calidad de comida! La comida estaba deliciosa con un buen sabor. La michelada no se diga más tenía un sazón que te deja encantado! Muy limpio y muy atento lo malo es el encontrar parking.

On a Saturday evening, we decided to eat some birria. We sat down very briefly. They brought us chips and salsa. The salsa is always good, yet the chips tasted stale. The waitress came and took our order. Our food was brought out on proper time. We optioned quesatacos de birria which I had ordered in the past, but this time it was disappointing. The meat was too dry, and it's really frustrating trying to take a bite when all you taste first is big chunks of onions. The preparation for the cilantro and onion could be better cut. I still would give this place a try.

RUN , RUN , RUN away from this place . I can't believe I even paid for the nasty food I got. I ordered a set of enchiladas verdes which weren't all that . The part that really ruined it for me was the rib eye tacos , going for $17 for 2 tacos I expected the tastiest tacos ever , but I ended up with dry up meet chopped up into like 8 pieces with lots of fat around the meat onto a cardboard like tortilla that was microwaved I took a bite and it was all dry and nasty so I asked if they had guac for them to at least try to make them better and they were charging me $6 for side of guac and I declined . I obviously wasn't happy with the tacos because I placed it to the side . I told the waitress for the bill and then I told her about the tacos and she asked me if I wanted another set . After those tacos what makes me think they were going to be different? Well she still charged for them instead of her trying to removed them from my bill since I only took 1 bite and waited for me to say something after she had seen I didn't like them.

Wow, the Verde Pozole is literally the best I've ever had, extremely flavourful. The rolled tacos were also some of the best, perfectly crispy and fresh. Highly recommend this place.

Went to Todo Pa La Cruda restaurant located on Imperial Ave in San Diego. The food was excellent!! I had the birria tacos with consomé, my friends had the pozole in green salsa, and enchiladas also in green salsa and said their food was excellent!! The guacamole was so delicious. I tried the Agua de coconut nuez It was good but wished it was sweater. Restaurant doesn't have their own parking only street parking. The service was good and restaurant was very clean. I look forward to going back and trying a different dish. I definitely recommend trying this place.

This place is amazing!! I went today with my friends and I had a traditional meal from the south of Mexico for the first time in San Diego! If you're from the south of Mexico, or specifically from Acapulco like myself, you'll love this place!! I'm so happy I found it.
