This was by far the worst Mexican food we have eaten, not to mention the rude staff and terrible service. Fajitas come to the table SIZZLING every time I have had them, this comes to the table on a plate lukewarm, where are the peppers...and onions, none to be found just large chunks of meat with no flavor. The fajita burrito was worse, nothing but chicken inside and dried out at that, no flavor no sauce inside, nothing. To add to all this, staff are clearly not happy with their jobs and rude. I guess since there are limited restaurants in the area, people come here. Then there are the prices that are some of the highest we have ever seen. Then a twenty minute wait just for the server to bring the check. A complete waste of our hard earned money. I highly recommend driving further away for something much better.More

I have been coming to Fidel’s on and off over the years since 1990. I am a Michigander who comes to San Diego occasionally. When my daughter first took me to Fidel’s in 1990 I ordered the chimichanga. It was excellent. Last night I took...my adult grandchildren to Fidel’s and again ordered the chimichanga. It was still excellent. My grandchildren ordered different types of tacos. We had a very nice experience. Our server was efficient But could have been a little more pleasant. He seem to give more attention to other tables and checked on their orders. He never checked on our order.More

We did not find this restaurant as advertised or reviewed here. So disappointed. I sent two attempts at a margarita back, the first too sweet, the replacement too bitter. That should have been a clue. I ordered the Chile Verde and there is no Verde...in it. It appears to be a handful of pulled pork in a bowl with stewed tomatoes and a couple of green peppers slices spooned over it. No green chilies! I was too embarrassed for Fidel to return that too. Be warned.More

better than average food and atmosphere, however I’ve had a better chile relleno. Margaritas are great! All in all a reliable mexican restaurant.

Always disappointed with this tasteless food. Really nothing special. Cheap cuts of protein force me to cheese and veggies.

Had dinner with family recently. It was a weekday evening, very busy inside and outside. Food could have been hotter and the chicken in all dishes we ordered, was dry and flavorless. Service was marginal, no one was very pleasant. It should be noted that...we have dined here previously.More

I was asked if i wanted a glass of wine or a margarita. I said margarita. The margarita was large and not very good in quality. When the bill came it was $20 for 1 margarita. I was surprised. I was told i ordered a...large one, which was not The case. Thats not all. The food was brought for each of us except one in our party. After some time, I asked for her food. When it was brought, it was not correct. They insisted she ordered wrong instead of trying to correct the order. The whole experience was very upsetting and negative. The manager came over because we were complaining and threatened to call the police instead of trying to come up with a solution. I have been a business owner locally for over 30 years and have never experienced anything like this. I wouldnt even give it a one star, but that is the only alternative available.More

Large compound, with its own parkings distributed. A little confusing where the real entrance is. The building looks historic. Popular place even during weekday. U need to see menu through smart phone and the menu was in tiny letters. Margarita was disappointing, I had the...spicy one. But the early bird, where u chose 2 entrees was very good. Service was goodMore

Lived in the area till I was 20 and moved to Arizona. After all these years I had never been to this place. When I was younger always went to the other restaurants just around the corner. Had a trip back in June and my...friends took me there for lunch. I had the pork tostada and it was very good! Lots of meat, good service and nice atmosphere. I would go back!More

Salsa at this place was great but the food is very pricey and does not reflect the quality. Chimichunga was very oily and not flavorful. My wife had a chicken burrito and it was the same, no flavor what so ever. There are much better...Mexican restaurants than this. So far the worst meal we have had in San Diego on this trip to Solana.More

No wait for seating upon arriving at restaurant. Food was great, and portion was large enough to take some home.

Several family members ran down for lunch. Nice outside seating but rains nicked that idea. Large place but be aware you must navigate stairs. Karla was our server and did a great job for us. Everything was delicious from the fajitas to the tacos and...enchiladas. My 1/2 order of tostada supreme with chicken was amazing. Even the half was more than I could eat. One annoying thing they do is charge for extra sour crime and even an extra tortilla. Not a Californian so possibly that is the norm here......More
