Don Bravos Authentic Mexican Cuisine - A Taste of Mexico in La Jolla

UPDATE I recommend the carne asada burrito. I do not recommend the mahi-mahi burrito. PRIOR UPDATE $1 added to credit card purchases. I don't believe in that. ORIGINAL REVIEW I got the carne asada burrito, it came with chips, and small bowls for salsa. I thought it was very good. It's a good size, and one of the things that's nice about this location is that it's in a very small busy luxe area with beautiful nature all around, the ocean and wonderful places to explore. This is an easy way to get decent food and also it has a porch in the back that overlooks the ocean and is a very good spot strategically if you want a nice view. I enjoyed the burrito and I think I would get the mahi-mahi burrito next and I would go back. Thanks.

Every time I'm in San Diego, I stop here for the best fish tacos of my life. These pictures are almost 2 year apart, and the tacos taste exactly the same. My wife got an Enchilada plate and loved it (though she would have like more cheese, but we're originally from Wisconsin so there you go). You will NOT be disappointed coming to Don Bravo. Simply the best.

Tried a few street tacos. Carnitas and also fried fish. Fish was better. Carnitas were a bit dry. Tortillas (corn) were good. Thick enough that you only needed one per taco. Best thing was the price. Street tacos were $3 each. My girlfriend got a two taco platter. $8 for two. Both reasonably priced. Her grilled Mahi Mahi were better than either of mine.

This place was full of flavor and affordable. I was only in town a short time and went two times because of how delicious it was. I tried the fish tacos which were amazing and the habanero salsa yum! Also the chili relleno burrito and a regular bean and cheese burrito. The beans are hands down great. For dessert I had the churros and yum yum yum soooo good and fried perfectly. I will definitely be back if I go back to that side of town. Do not pass this one up. Sooooooo good

It was OK, but given the price, I didn't think it was good value. You can take a look at my picture and see if you think it was worth it. Technically the food wasn't bad, but Don Bravo was simply not competitive in a city like San Diego, or even just one neighborhood like PB.

Don BRAVO!! Some of the best food ive ever had. Thank you mr.bravo

A classic Bird Rock institution that’s been around for decades. The food is great and the salsas are even better! I love the habanero and tomatillo salsas so much here. The chicken and lobster tacos are super flavorful and juicy as well. As you eat, you can sit on the back porch and see the Pacific Ocean! They even have a food truck in their parking lot that serves other off-menu items like menudo and pozole. This is a great option for Mexican in Bird Rock/North Pacific Beach!

During my recent visits to Don Bravos Authentic Mexican Cuisine at 5504 La Jolla Blvd in La Jolla, CA, I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of their food and service. On consecutive evenings, I enjoyed their carne asada tacos and carnitas tacos, both of which were flavorful and satisfying. The no-frills, fast service, combined with the delicious food, made for an excellent dining experience. I highly recommend Don Bravos for anyone seeking authentic Mexican cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.
