The Blind Burro on Postcard

"This bustling Mexican restaurant and bar is all about Beetlejuice this year and mixing up a Lydia-Rita, a twist on a blackberry margarita on top of its regular drinks that include an everyday deal on a beer and a shot. Share a queso especial made with cheese sauce, crispy potatoes, and housemade chorizo or snack on street tacos." - Candice Woo

"This is one of the nicer spots for Mexican food. They have solid happy hour deals, amazing street tacos, cool salads/bowls, and a weekend brunch that features bottomless mimosas. The mole and the cadillac margaritas aren't too bad either. Bonus: live music on Friday & Saturday nights." - Fifty & Fifty

"Tequila, margaritas and tacos are the order of the day at this Baja-inspired Mexican spot. The airy bar area is a big draw — and so are Taco Tuesdays which runs from 6-9 p.m. Specials include chicken, carnitas and al pastor tacos are 2 for $8, plus a selection specially priced of drinks." - Darlene Horn

I came here with a group of 7 for lunch and it was great. I ordered the surf & turf pasta and it was very good the only con I would say is the portion was small for the price. Other people in my group order tacos, machedes, surf & turf tacos and everyone were pleased with their meals. Some stated they wished their portions were larger but stated the flavor was overall good. I plan on returning while I’m in the area before I leave. The service was great.

Ate there for a late lunch. Open air dining. Multiple games on. Music kind of loud. Service was friendly. Food was tasty. My wife is gluten-free and was able to find multiple options she could eat. My street tacos had really good flavor.

It's a pretty good place to eat. I tried the burro bowl. They don't have a HUGE veggie selection, but everything is adjustable. The staff was very friendly and helped us pick the right options to avoid any non-veg options(like one of the beans is refried in lard while the other isn't). Also, unfortunately, no halal meat, but they have fish! Also, the pineapple mocktail is also good(no alcohol!). It's a pretty place, not too crowded, and has a nice aesthetic. Had lovely conversations with my colleagues here!

I recently had lunch at this Mexican restaurant with a coworker, and unfortunately, it was a mixed experience. We started by ordering chips and guac, fish tacos, and a Birria burrito. The chips and guac never made it to our table, which was disappointing. My coworker ordered the fish tacos and appreciated that they offered a choice between grilled or fried, which is great for those with dietary restrictions. She said the tacos were good overall. However, my Birria burrito was mostly rice with only a few strands of meat, which felt like a huge letdown, especially for $24—definitely not worth the price. To add to the frustration, our server mistakenly charged us for the table next to us, which we only realized later. While we understand mistakes happen, it was still inconvenient to deal with the billing issue. All in all, the food and service left much to be desired.

During our extended stay in San Diego, we visited the Blind Burro several times. The food was delicious every time and the staff was exceptionally friendly. A safe bet for a casual dinner in downtown San Diego.

This spot is like block from the Padres stadium so you can enjoy a meal and drink before you enter or a drink after. The average cost a plate is $23, I would recommend paying the $2 uncharged for the corn, well worth it, definitely better then rice or beans. For a starter I would get the salsa flight, it comes with 4 salsa a flavor and spice level for everyone. They have outdoor seating with shade cover for those nice days, and great for people watching. Good restaurant decor, a lot of seating plus they also have to bars with seating at both. The quality of the is decent, nothing rave about, but a good spot for an outing with friends.

This place is absolutely fantastic! My co-worker raved about the margarita. We really enjoyed the xhips & salsa. I loved the chimichanga. I also recommend the street corn. The machete is huge, get this to share!

Had a great time at The Blind Borough! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a night out. The tacos were really interesting and packed with flavor—each one a delightful surprise. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who made great recommendations. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy some unique and delicious Mexican cuisine.
