Staying in Coronado, looking for recommendations for the Best Mexican Restaurants in San Diego. Also looking for restaurant recommendations in Coronado.
Thank you for you help.

For fun, festive family dining go to Old Town State Park and eat at Casa de Pico, Casa de Bandini, or Old Town Mexican cafe.

For authentic hole in the wall, eat at Quatro Milpas (sp?). As you are heading from SD to Cornado, exit Crosby and go left at stop sign and look for line of people. Don't go after dark.

This topic has been done several times. Run a search for mexican food in san diego

For good Mexican food, I'd suggest Miguel's Cocina on Coronado Island. Be sure to ask for them to bring out some of their yummy cheese sauce with your chips.

If you want a more special meal out in Coronado, I'd recommend Chez Loma French Bistro on Loma Avenue.


Nothing fancy, but a San Diego favorite for taquitos is El Indio's - plenty of outdoor seating at this India Street location.

Miguel's Cocina on Coronado is good. I tend to think of the Old Town restaurants as touristy, but then you are one. I've read that El Agave in Old Town has good food and a great selections of margaritas.

On Coronado, I'd agree with the Miguel's Cocina recommendation.
Joe, don't tell everyone about Quatros Milpas!!! That place is busy enough with locals! It's awesome for tamales!!!

Returned last week from a trip to San Diego where we ate at a wonderful small Mexican restaurant in Old Town. The place is called "El Agave" and is situated upstairs atop a licquor store away from the usual tourist haunts. It is very charming and quaint where white tableclothes adorn each table. If you are into margarita drinks, this IS the place. Well noted for this. We ate lunch outside on small half enclosed patio. Service was excellent as was the food. Ordered light...chicken tacquitos. Very nice ambiance. You won't be disappointed. I would highly recommend this place to all Mexican food afficionados. (Check restaurant out on internet.)
Bon appetite.

Ahhh, in 1970 it was Su Casa in LaJolla. Still there?

el indio is good. casa de bandini in old town is good.
by the coronado ferry dock there's a good restaurant but i don't remember the name.

Yes Su Casa is still there and still good, but a litle hard to direct tourists to (not in a easy to get to location unless you know where it is really). I'd second Miguels and the white sauce for your chips (great atmosphere and food!)

Forgot to mention, for Cuatros Milpas, the street is no longer called Crosby..it is now Ceasar Chavez street. Also, you are heading into a not very good area(so you won't be surprised when you get there). Very good mex food though.

Another vote for Su Casa...crab enchiladas!!
