Stopped in to get some food before an even at the stadium and im glad we did. At first when I walked in, it was a bit crowded but lively and looked like people there were having fun. The server took me to a table in the very back where a man was blocking me from getting in.. she asked him to move and he refused and they both looked at me so I just told her I’ll wait for a table to get cleaned. She apologize and so did I but not anyone’s fault the other costumer was entitles.. he was also with a child so of course I didn’t make a fuss.
When I got seated I ordered a strawberry margarita and the street tacos with carne asada. The tortilla was a fresh made one, a little more greasy than I’d like, the carne asada was tender, had great marinade and little chard pieces that gave it more flavor. The salsa that came with them were not too spicy neither and they were also very tasty!
Over all I would come back, the food was good and I want to try more.

I ordered a lobster taco with street corn and tried two different margaritas. While the street corn was a bit too sour for my taste, and the margaritas, despite being listed as distinct, tasted quite similar, the calamari was excellent. Overall, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I’d happily give this place 4.5 stars!

This spot is like block from the Padres stadium so you can enjoy a meal and drink before you enter or a drink after. The average cost a plate is $23, I would recommend paying the $2 uncharged for the corn, well worth it, definitely better then rice or beans. For a starter I would get the salsa flight, it comes with 4 salsa a flavor and spice level for everyone. They have outdoor seating with shade cover for those nice days, and great for people watching. Good restaurant decor, a lot of seating plus they also have to bars with seating at both. The quality of the is decent, nothing rave about, but a good spot for an outing with friends.

We found our way into the Blind Burro and really appreciated the food and atmosphere. The place was a zoo because of Comic-Con so we had to expect service would be slower. But our server did well but slow. Food was awesome and we saw a Roper Romp. Woo hoo!

The perfect place to continue the party after a Padres game! We got a nice table for 8 right after a Padres win, sooooooooooooo double win??
Double House margarita with no extra flavor was one of the better margaritas I’ve had downtown.
Service was incredibly quick, the $5 chips and salsa is a great deal and tasty. The menu is on the expensive side, but the two tacos for $20 and a side were huge and enough to satisfy a grown man. The grilled shrimp was fantastic, the Al Pastor seemed more like Asada but was still tasty. The rice was decent but meh, the black beans were good.
TJ dog was great, tons of toppings and an ok bun, but $9 was a good price.
Burro bowl was huge with added shrimp, and tasty!
The service really shined for us so that will keep us coming back!

Came here with my boyfriend to get some tacos I got the El Pastore tacos with the corn and he got the street tacos Carne Asada NO side. With his plate it was $20 for 3 Small Street tacos. He usually eats four, that’s what fills him up pretty good so we asked the server if there was anyway they can charge us for one extra taco, the server said that he didn’t think so that he would go ask and when he came back I guess they told him that they could not charge us for one extra taco, which I think is honestly pretty disappointing. I feel like they could have done it if they really wanted to and they just wanted to be jerks and say no to make us buy another $20 plate worth of tacos which is just greedy, but my boyfriend ended up saying it was fine he would just stick to the three tacos, they weren’t anything amazing I had my two tacos that were bigger again the flavor was just very bland, The corn was extremely spicy like I had boogers coming down my nose, I couldn’t even enjoy it. The hype just doesn’t stand up to the quality of the food. We basically spent $70 for five tacos, corn and 2 cokes. Not worth it at all, I’d rather go to a real taco place next time.
If I could give them zero stars I would but the lowest is one star I guess I’ll give that to our server because he was really nice but other than that definitely won’t be going back

I definitely recommend the lobster tacos. The salsa and chips were incredible. I ate on those the entire meal! The rice and pinto beans were pretty good as well. The street corn was okay. It was highly recommended but there was a lot going on. Also, you kind of bet on margaritas at places like this but the pineapple margarita was, again, okay. The service was good and the outdoor dining options were amazing. I’d return and try new menu items.

Had a great time at The Blind Borough! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a night out.

I came here with a group of 7 for lunch and it was great. I ordered the surf & turf pasta and it was very good the only con I would say is the portion was small for the price. Other people in my group order tacos, machedes, surf & turf tacos and everyone were pleased with their meals. Some stated they wished their portions were larger but stated the flavor was overall good. I plan on returning while I’m in the area before I leave. The service was great.

Stopped in for a bite at The Blind Burro with family, our first time there. The setting was fun and lively with plenty of bar seating and a few TVs, making it a great spot to watch any game. Also, the service was wonderful, our waitress was on top of everything.
As for the food and drinks, the best thing we ate was the cheese crisp appetizer (not pictured here) and a family side of street corn, while our short rib tacos and cup of pozole soup were just okay. The food was rather salty and our drinks were not that flavorful, nor strong. Overall, the menu had some great selections, but the quality just didn’t quite match up to the price.
