Fiesta Mexican Grille — Restaurant in San Diego

This place just opened in Sorrento Valley. . The elegant simplicity of the restaurant's name says it all, "Fiesta". As you probably know, the art and brilliance of a great California burrito is easily lost with over-the-top ingredients and unneeded asada marinades. Indeed, they are fickle beasts -- one ingredient wrong and the whole thing is ruined. When you find YOUR California burrito (CB) place, you're unlikely to find another to match. I remember my first CB joint like it was yesterday. Sadly, the long drive has reduced my CB habit to a mere monthly affair, a cherished family excursion each third Sunday. I had all but lost hope that I'd ever find such regular satisfaction again, but behold -- Fiesta has filled a void in me that I never fully recognized until now. The burrito is simple-- homemade flour tortilla, lovely asada, a touch of guac, fries with the perfect level of crisp, and of course, that magical white sauce that brings everything together. With each drop of salsa Verde, I'm taken back to the moment a friend introduced me to the angry burrito lady, a well-known veteran of the CB community, if you will. The California Burrito at Fiesta has blown me away with their elegant take on a San Diego classic. And once...

The food at Fiesta Mexican Grill is okay, but the value just isn't there.

I ordered a Surf and California Burrito, and for $13, I was really expecting something more substantial.

The burrito was surprisingly small, especially considering the price.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, you're far better off heading to San Diego, where you can get larger, tastier, and more authentic meals for a similar price (or less).

Fiesta Mexican Grill isn't terrible, but it doesn’t deliver the bang for your buck that you'd hope for.

This is food court Mexican food, not San Diego Mexican food.

For San Diego Mexican, try a place like Vallartas or...

First off, Mariana, Ruth, the Chefs, and Management do their best to run this place the best and you can tell from their positive attitude, delicious food, and service. I’ve been eating here for lunch for a few years not and surprised I haven’t left a review.

Clean, organized, family oriented, fresh and tasty food, eat here! You will be happy you did and I will keep coming here. M

My go-tos are their soft tacos. If I had a longer lunch than 30 mins I would eat a lot more 🤣

Thanks team!...
