The Blind Burro: Your Premier Destination for Mexican Cocktails and Seafood in San Diego

Came here for dinner before petco park and it didn't disappoint. The salsa flight was on point and had such great unique flavors. I got the enchiladas and my husband had the birria burrito, both were delicious!

Had a date night here and it went pretty darn well, so this is a 5 star in my book any day for that reason alone. Service was fine. Food was fine. My date was a 10, so this place was a 10. Easy, peasy.

The power bowl was the perfect lunch. It was a large portion. The kid's quesadilla was small even for a toddler but the side of fruit (apples, oranges) was fresh and a good portion. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was a fun cantina.

Been here twice, once before and after a Padres game. If you leave the game in the 8th inning and get there before everyone else leaves, it's easy to find a table. If you leave the game when everyone else does, it's a risk. It filled up really fast once the game ended. If you get there 30-45 min before a game, it will be packed. For a table of 2, the wait was surprisingly short - 10 min. We ended up finding seats at the bar instead. They are a well run machine. Service is great, everyone is friendly, and you do not feel like you're being ignored despite how busy they are. Food is decent, but we mainly came for drinks. They have a great happy hour. If you don't see the specials listed, ask! When we went, it started at 3pm. Grab the tall can of Estrella and a shot of Casamigos for $18! It's a great deal. Their queso dip is really good and filling. It was a lot for two people. It's a sports bar/restaurant vibe. No one is dressed up when we've come. It's very close to petco park so this is a no brainer when deciding where to pre-game before a game or concert.

Really good sangria and great location across from Petco Park. Love the open air feel where you're sitting outside but can still see everything happening inside. The nachos were NOT good. The cheesy sauce was odd texture and the melted cheese was just think and not fully melted. There was also not alot of meat on it. The service was okay. I had to ask for a glass of water to 2 different bartenders as the 1st one walked away and never came back. But this place is always a good stop for us before a Padres game! I just wish the nachos were better and the transition from one bartender to another was a bit better.

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!
