From the looks of the outside, Emma’s Mexican Food place is really a mom and pops taco shop and not a full service restaurant.
Wanted to give it a try after doctor’s appointment since it was right across from the hospital. Nothing fancy to note, but nice staff, clean tables, calm atmosphere, decorative and spacious areas between tables. Food prices were reasonable.
Our order was cooked in no time. Fresh and hot. My rolled tacos’ portioning and presentation was so-so. Avocado looked like it was spread on, barely had any. Cheese looked skimpy. Compared to rolled tacos in Southbay, the rolls are larger in size and fixings are plenty (ie avocado, lettuce, cheese, cotija cheese, and sour cream). The breakfast burrito was smaller than expected but was good. I had the other half the next day and it still tasted good.
I was bummed to see an empty salsa cart but I must say, the home made hot sauce was the bomb. It not only tasted delicious, it’s smelled good.
Lots of parking.

This mexican taco shop is hands down the best in Santee. My go to was bad hombres, but when I came across this gem! I fell in love with the food and the salsas are A1! Remind me of my mommas salsas. Very friendly and very clean, the quality of the meat is top notch, prices are the best in san diego, my go to is the California burrito and the fried chicken tacos! So so good. Thank you for your great food emmas!
Sincerely,
The Sharp driver 🙂

Emma’s is my favorite spot for tacos in san diego. I drive about 15-20 minutes just for the fish tacos. The owner has always been so kind and the food is always hot and fantastic. Love this place.

San Diego is in NO short supply of Mexican Food Shops, and an overlooked gem of East County resides in Emma’s. What stands out about them is their affordable prices while maintaining solid and consistent quality.

A nice restaurant. The location is not too busy or crowded. Limited parking but the lot is never completely full. The place was not busy when I went around afternoon lunch period. The service was quick and timely during the ordering process. The food came out within minutes from ordering. A good sized meal. Only bummed that they did not have horchata at the time i was there. Definitely recommend tho. Bring a friend or have a family meal. Definitely a place to gather and enjoy some food.
