If you can add "bertos" to a name, it exists as a Mexican walk up eatery in San Diego. To name only a few, there are Aldebertos, Albertos, Mobertos and...well, you get the idea. While they are great for deep friend food that would make your doctor faint, they really don't offer the quality most are looking for.
There are tons of drive and walk up joints along the street that server deep fried food. They usually end in "bertos". The first was a place called Robertos. It was a legend and a favorite of many during the late hours after the entertainment for the evening had died down.
A quick note for those in a hurry. La Especial is very authentic and the pace of things in the restaurant is slow. It may be half an hour before you see the waiter after ordering. If you are in a rush, this is not the place for you. If you have time, it is!
The Mexican Food Place to Eat At When Visiting San Diego
San Diego is, obviously, located close to the border with Mexico. While illegal immigration is a hot political issue, there is no doubt that most San Diegans thoroughly enjoy the authentic Mexican food on can get in San Diego.
Regardless, La Especial is very authentic. The food is tremendous, but the specialty of the house is the soup. Many a San Diegan has driven for 30 minutes or more to get the Chicken Soup when faced with the flu. It is a guaranteed cure. The Tortilla Soup with melted cheese is also a swooner. Overall, there are 16 different soups on the menu at La Especial. You really can't go wrong with any of them.
So, where can you go to get the best Mexican food in San Diego on your trip? While it is obviously a subjective issue, few would argue with La Especial Norte in Leucadia. Leucadia is located on the coast in what is known as the north county of San Diego. It is between Carlsbad and Encinitas, about five minutes north of Del Mar.
San Diego is a big tourist destination to say the least. While there are more than a few restaurants designed to cater to the tourist, the locals eat at the best places and so can you.
