" What a delightful surprise! Stopped by Fidel's on a road trip, and it truly is a hidden gem. The service was prompt, and the waitress was friendly. We indulged in the nacho plate, which was enormous and very tasty. The margaritas were vibrant, almost too good to drink! The tables are well-spaced, making it a cozy setting for family or friends. Would recommend to anyone traveling through San Diego! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Fidel's, especially with all the accolades I heard. Sadly, it didn't quite deliver. The chips tasted store-bought, and the salsa lacked heat. My chicken fajitas were mediocre, while my friend’s carne asada was much better. The service was average; we had to ask for water several times. The atmosphere is nice but can be a bit crowded. Hope to catch them on a better day next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Fidel's last week, and I must say, it lived up to the hype! The vibe is authentically Mexican, and the decor makes you feel festive. I had the shrimp enchiladas, which were delightful but maybe a little on the salty side. The staff was friendly, although we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our food. Nonetheless, the portions were generous enough to share. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Fidel's from a friend, I decided to try it out. The ambiance is lively and colorful, making it a great place to gather with friends. We ordered a variety of dishes, including enchiladas and burritos, and the flavors were impressive! However, the service was a little slow, which could be improved. Overall, a good experience but keep in mind the wait times. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were very satisfied with our meal at Fidel's! The tacos de pescado were beautifully made and very tasty. The ambiance is festive, and the service was quick. The only downside was that it was quite busy when we went, and we had to wait a bit long for our table, but once seated, everything was smooth. We'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends recommended Fidel's, and I had to see if it lived up to its reputation. It definitely did! The chips were fresh and crispy, and the salsa had a nice kick. I tried the beef tacos and enjoyed them, but they were slightly greasy for my liking. The service was quick, and we loved the atmosphere. Overall, it was a great night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered this place by driving around and boy, am I glad I stopped by! The tacos are definitely worth it—very fresh and delicious. The service was speedy, and our server kept checking on us without being overbearing. The ambiance was lively, and I felt like I was in a vibrant fiesta. Can't wait to come back with friends!
