Muy rico! I like El Borrego very much. I’ve been here twice and I have had the green enchiladas plate, the borrego burrito and a jamaica water. The enchiladas were very good, very good portions, my husband and I shared them. I had the borrego burrito myself and it was pretty good, it had beans, rice, cilantro and lamb, the tortilla was delicious. Their lamb is pretty close to what we call “barbacoa” in Tijuana, very delicious soft meat. The agua de jamaica, DELICIOUS! They have very fair prices, a nice looking interior, and their back patio is cute. What I really like about this place is that you are getting authentic home-made mexican food. I am giving the restaurant 4 stars (not 5) because I have had better mexican food at fancier places, but honestly El Borrego is really good. Give it a try.

I paid $20 for half a plate of chilaquiles and half a plate of beans. I was charged extra for protein, no problem but I don’t think I even got 2oz of protein (pictured). I was also charge $3.99 for this half container of chilaquiles sauce.

We’ve been coming for years and the food/service is always amazing. The flavors are delicious and the atmosphere both indoors and outdoors in their patio really give an authentic Mexican feel.

I really wanted to like this place. Came here on a sunday not to busy but had a very bad experience. First the cashier kept skipping the ordering line and taking payments and giving out things. After waiting I ordered the mole chilaquiles. Waited 17mins and got called up and was told my green chilaquiles are ready. they took the wrong order and had a horrible attitude about it. I wasn’t going to keep waiting or arguing so I took it home. The food is very under seasoned and chilaquiles over cooked. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Had the mixiote de borrego. The taste is legit. It reminded me of those days growing up in Mexico going to the mercado sobre ruedas. Give them a try. If you order mixiote, remember to shred the meat with the fork before making a taco.
