The Blind Burro

"I had the pleasure of walking into this restaurant for a quick lunch. Taking a seat at the bar, I was greeted by "Marin", forgive me if I spelled this wrong. A smile and greet go a long way for a pleasant meal. Another nice touch was being offered to scan or read an actual menu. Many places assume you scan without so much of asking, it's the little things. Menu was simple yet covered the main foods. I ordered the carnitas " street tacos" they come in 3 with no side. However they do offer a selection larger "street Tacos" with a large tortilla and a side. I wanted to keep it authentic, and added black bean side. When the order came out, they were full and portioned nicely with plenty of meat. Now I'm uncertain who's recipe this is, but the flavor and marinade were outstanding. These rank as possibly the best tasting street tacos, perfectly portioned. The only down was the one slice of lime, an it was slightly dry, and that's nick picking. The beans came in a small cup, however once again, just the right amount and great flavor. Now here's a quirk on me, I'm very picky with mixture. The beans were perfect in with liquid and beans proportioned. Bartender, "Marin" asked if I wanted additional hot sauce, I bravely asked for the Habanero. Great choice plenty of heat so not for the weak. Overall a great place with a great first impression. Marin was a breath of fresh air in her profession, kudos. Prices are medium but it's California where you're charged for the air you breathe, but I digress. Highly recommend The Blind Burro. In the photo I apologize for the eaten Taco, I couldn't wait it was that good."

"Wonderful food, service was extraordinary, and would definitely recommend this place. Tried the queso(amazing), wings(sauce was great), the cali machete, and ended with the housemade churros. Left overstuffed, but would do it again."

"Nachos were too thick and were quite hard to chew (be careful not to bite on it too quick). The powerbowl had an interesting taste, but I appreciate the big serving. There weren't a lot of customers when we were there, but it took a while to get our orders and receipts."

"Located on the corner of J st. & 7th Ave. near Petco Park. We've been coming to "The Blind Burro" for many years now because it never disappoints. Today, I had their 'Burro-ito Barbacoa' which is slow braised beef burrito (a bit spicy) accompanied with a 'Strawberry Margarita'. My husband had their 'Carne Asada Chimichanga' which is a deep fried steak burrito. Both are pretty big in size and tasted delicious with fresh ingredients... We liked the Chimichanga a lot. Shout out to our server 'Alyssa' who was very attentive and did not rush us at all. The restaurant is always clean and organized with outside seating and plenty of TVs throughout so we enjoy watching sports here...the restrooms are also clean every time we've visited. It's always a great time here, which is why we return."

"Stopped in for a bite at The Blind Burro with family, our first time there. The setting was fun and lively with plenty of bar seating and a few TVs, making it a great spot to watch any game. Also, the service was wonderful, our waitress was on top of everything. As for the food and drinks, the best thing we ate was the cheese crisp appetizer (not pictured here) and a family side of street corn, while our short rib tacos and cup of pozole soup were just okay. The food was rather salty and our drinks were not that flavorful, nor strong. Overall, the menu had some great selections, but the quality just didn’t quite match up to the price."
