The only thing keeping me from giving this place one star was the margaritas. They were strong and flavored well. The fish tacos were bland and dry. The black beans were not too bad. But $70 for two tacos and two drinks wasn't worth it. Yeah, I know, it's in the Gaslamp district so tourist beware but this was just not worth it. The young lady that helped me was pleasant thou so that's a plus.

Overall good first experience. The restaurant itself is super cool, and very spacious. Nice menu with a large selection of Mexican favorites. Food was served hot and very fresh, with what seemed to be high quality ingredients. Didn't give give stars because everything was spicy and wish it was optional, because tortillas had an odd flavor and were not as freshly soft as they should be, and because I was hoping for a slightly more authentic Mexican flavor. Outside of that, it was a great time.

We had a group of 8 and the staff at The Blind Burro were quick to seat us and get drinks started. Our service was excellent and everyone was pleased with their food. The server went out of her way to get us separate receipts for drinks and food.

We decided to go there for dinner and honestly we did a wise decision.
Alex is the one who took our order and she guided me what cocktail I can try. She was an amazing person and vwry friendly.
Thank you Alex for serving us and making my father in law birthday great ????

A nice local restaurant for a happy hour with a solid Mexican menu. The classic dishes were done well. Hearty serving of stacked nachos. Great flavor on the quesadillas. Come here for a relaxing experience with a laid back ambience. Friendly and efficient service.

Came here with a friend for dinner and a drink. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was great. Although it was dead inside it started to pick up a little bit more on this Thursday night around 7:00 or 8:00.
The drinks were pretty good, and the food was average. I must say the food was incredibly overpriced for what it was. The giant machete quesadilla was literally dripping with liquid cheese inside in a not good way. It was impossible to eat and was dripping all over the place. I ate the shrimp out of it which was good but for $25 you would expect something a little better. My friend got the carnitas type tacos. They were pretty basic again, for 23 to $25. For two entrees and one drink each after tip it was $116. A little absurd. Again the service and the atmosphere was fantastic, come here for drinks not for the food..

Nice and chill atmosphere. The food tasted fine, but the portion sizes were small based off the price. The fish and Carne asada tacos were alright,but you can do better outside of the tourist row.

The chicken enchiladas? Fantastic. The salsa flight? Fantastic. Their spicy salsa? Actually spicy. The service was great too. They're mostly dinged one star because the portions could be bigger on the entree even though it looked and tasted amazing.

Great food and vibe in the Gaslamp District. If you're able to, hit up their Taco Tuesday or Happy Hour. Unfortunately, my group wasn't able to make either, but they have pretty good deals. Nonetheless, still a good place to hit up. Service was friendly and it's a pretty big restaurant so great for groups. Definitely reserve!
I got their Michelada to drink. You'll get the beer on the side so you can pour it yourself. Really good balance with their spice blend. I got their Short Rib Tacos with their Corn as a side. The tacos were pretty good, but I would probably get their Al Pastor instead. I really enjoyed the Corn and it was my suprisingly favorite part. Sweet, creamy and fresh!

I am I. Town for a conference and not familiar with the area. Decided to check this place out.
The service was excellent my waitress was Alex and she made some solid recommendations.
Got the chicken enchiladas and they were out so fast. I basically inhaled my food but it tasted delicious.
The bed of black beans was hearty and healthy and I found the three small sized enchiladas were perfect for me as I was very hungry.
I also got the churros after dinner and they were fresh made and the dipping sauce was to die for.
Really great meal !
