El Costeño Mexican Food
Welcome to El Costeño Mexican Food, a charming gem nestled in San Diego at 3690 Murphy Canyon Rd. This family-owned establishment is a true testament to the rich and vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine.
El Costeño proudly offers a menu that showcases the heart and soul of Mexico. If you're a fan of burritos, you’re in for a treat. Their California Burrito is a local favorite, generously filled with your choice of meat, fries, cheese, and guacamole, all for just $12.30. For those who prefer a classic touch, the Meat Burrito and Bean and Cheese Burrito offer delightful combinations that won't disappoint. The standout, however, has to be the Rockefeller Burrito, a lavish concoction featuring carne asada, shrimp, bacon, avocado, and zesty chipotle sauce, priced at $14.39. It’s an explosion of flavors that is undeniably worth every penny.
But the indulgence doesn’t stop there. Rolled Tacos beckon with your choice of shredded beef or chicken, served with all the fixings: guacamole, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and a warm house consomé – a delightful steal at just $5.99. Their Fajitas, available at $15.59, are another must-try, offering a fiesta of fresh ingredients with every bite.
Patrons rave about their experiences at El Costeño. Customer reviews highlight not only the sensational food but also the excellent customer service. Vanessa G. noted the generous portions and quality when she purchased a breakfast burrito, calling it “the best burrito I’ve had in a while.” Johana J. declared the Rockefeller Burrito "de lo más delicioso," meaning it's simply a must-try. Furthermore, Jesus R. emphasized the perfect execution of both the California Breakfast Burrito and torta de asada – a true portrayal of culinary mastery.
Located in an unassuming spot next to a Firestone and a Star Smog Station, El Costeño is a well-kept secret among locals. Frank B. finds its tucked-away location a bonus, praising both the food and customer service. No matter where you live in San Diego, it's worth a visit.

“ This place seemed family owned i always like to support small business. I couldn't believe I paid 14.00 for a breakfast burrito. I also have to say the food was so that good. I haven't had a good burrito like this in awhile. It was big and full of potatoes,bacon, cheese and sour cream. I understand there is an egg shortage so I don't mind paying more. If the burrito was this good I can't wait to try some rolled tacos. Took a star off for the long lag I have a 15 min break and it took about 20 min to get my food. Good thing I was able to sneak back into work. ”

“ Decent little spot that has really good Mexican food, it's tucked in and hidden next to a Firestone and star smog station. I've been living in Serra Mesa for 2 years and I just now found this place! But the customer service alone and the food here is pretty awesome. I'd go back for sure and will highly recommend the spot to anyone! ”

“ First time here with my family. Place has good food for being inside a gas station. Carné asada fries are seasoned and crispy, guacamole is good flavor and the meat is juicy. We had horchata is very creamy flavor and sweet love the taste. Well I had the Rockefeller burrito also was delicious. ”
“ Stop by and got some gas and I saw they had a taco shop inside !! The gentleman at the front recommended me their carne asada fries. The carne asada fries was different than any other carne asada fries I have gotten. They came with a pepper seasoning on the fries and the meat was marinated full of flavor! Definitely hitting this spot every I go fill up ! They have lots of seating outside and even a TV ! ”
