" I had such a wonderful experience at The Blind Burro! The ambiance was lively and perfect for our group. We ordered a variety of tacos, and each one was bursting with flavor. The carne asada were tender and delicious. Highly recommend the salsa flight for a fun start! Our server was attentive and very friendly. Will definitely be coming back for more.

The ambiance combined with good music made for a delightful evening. Drinks were well-priced too. I can see why this place has such a good reputation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last week, and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere was cheerful; the tacos were good, although I expected them to be spicier. Enjoyed some churros for dessert, which were superb! Service was prompt, making for a smooth outing. Overall, I'd recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a fun night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here on a Saturday night, and while the wait for a table was a tad long, it was worth it. The atmosphere is buzzing with energy. We ordered tacos and appetizers; they were solid but didn't quite live up to the hype. Service was attentive, but I feel like the food could have been more flavorful and authentic. Still a good experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited The Blind Burro last Friday with some friends before a Padres game. What a fantastic place! The tacos were amazing, especially the queso tacos. The atmosphere was electric, with sports playing and good music. Our server was very helpful with recommendations, and the service was quick despite how busy it was. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in San Diego. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited The Blind Burro and I have mixed feelings. While the food was decent, I expected more authenticity from their tacos. The service was okay but felt a little rushed because of how busy they were. The atmosphere was lively, which is a plus if you like energy. Overall, a decent experience, but I might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at The Blind Burro was surrounded by great vibes! The music was upbeat, and the crowd added energy to the night. Food wise, I tried the fish and carne asada tacos. Despite not being super authentic, the flavors were nice. Our server was attentive, and overall the experience was good, though I expected more authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)
