El Borrego Restaurant

I celebrated my birthday with 20 friends on the patio of El Borrego today and it was such a wonderful experience! I'm so grateful to Rodnia, the owner, and her staff, for being so attentive and handling it all so well. They sectioned off half of the outdoor patio and set it up with beautiful decor, as well as umbrellas for shade and a big fan as it was 80 degrees out. At the bar, guests could choose from house made Horchata, Agua de Jamaica, beer and Sangria. I heard so many compliments about the venue and especially on the food! We served a self-serve buffet of Cochinita Pibil and Lamb Barbacoa with tortillas, guacamole and garnishes, plus quesadillas made with squash blossoms and rajas that they brought out hot as they were ready. The whole afternoon felt easy and relaxed and I got to enjoy spending time with friends rather than being stressed about hosting. The mellow music they played set a nice atmosphere for a Sunday afternoon. This restaurant is such a neighborhood gem! If you're looking for a space to accommodate a crowd and excellent food and service, I highly recommend El Borrego!

Every time my family comes here we are greeted by the friendliest staff. We love coming here. The parking in the area isn’t great but we park over by the YMCA and walk. The food is always good, consistent. My wife gets chilaquiles and I usually get a burrito. This is one of our go to spots for good food at a fair price

Muy rico! I like El Borrego very much. I’ve been here twice and I have had the green enchiladas plate, the borrego burrito and a jamaica water. The enchiladas were very good, very good portions, my husband and I shared them. I had the borrego burrito myself and it was pretty good, it had beans, rice, cilantro and lamb, the tortilla was delicious. Their lamb is pretty close to what we call “barbacoa” in Tijuana, very delicious soft meat. The agua de jamaica, DELICIOUS! They have very fair prices, a nice looking interior, and their back patio is cute. What I really like about this place is that you are getting authentic home-made mexican food. I am giving the restaurant 4 stars (not 5) because I have had better mexican food at fancier places, but honestly El Borrego is really good. Give it a try.
