Loved it! Margaritas are superb and the Happy Hour was rocking! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

The guacomole and the salsa bar are awesome. The food in general is "so so." My mom loved the tacos, but I don't eat meat, so I didn't have tacos.
Good happy hour though! :)

VERY DISAPOINTING. Has to be the most expensive Mexican restaurant in town. For my money, I would go down the street to Especial Norte.

Great Margaritas!

El Callejon is one of our all time favorites...been going there for over 8 years. Beware the margaritas! They are too good, but go slow. We can always spot the EC rookies because they're slamming margaritas and ordering seconds and thirds. :-)

San Diego has some of the best Mexican food

And this place stands out among all the great places. Besides the great Mex City style cooking, ya gotta see how many tequilas they have there. They serve shots with this killer hot tomato based drink to wash the booze down,

The food was ho-hum, ordinary to downright not good. The service was mediocre and the ambiance was forced and disneyland-ish.
I've lived on the coast for nearly 7 years and have driven by El Callejon hundreds of times but never even thought to stop in. I've been missing out on a great Friday happy hour place as well as some great food. I shared the dinner item: "PARRILLADA" and it was probably the best Mexican fine dining dish I've had in North ...
This restaurant is incredibly authentic...sometimes too much so. If you're looking for El Torito-style California Mexican, this is not the place for it. But for a vast array of salsas and lots of other hard-to-find Mexican goodies, the atmosphere and flavors are wonderful.
