I’m a fan of Mexican food, though I unfortunately usually experience it through the medium of 24-hour fast food Mexican joints in San Diego. Normal Mexican restaurants are usually okay, but I thought Little Onion trumps them. The food was much cheaper than a place like El Torrito, but also better tasting. I got chorizo and egg, since i didn’t feel like eating the normal enchilada with other stuff combo plate. Egg never disappoints, and it came with tortillas and a “guacamole salad” (salad with guac on it). It made good tacos, since i could have guacamole, egg, chorizo, beans, and rice in it. I also got a tamale on the side, which was about what i expected, but not as good as the chorizo. Since it is a smaller place, the menu was also kinda dirty, which was kind of weird. Ultimately it gets five stars because it is cheap, tasty, and the atmosphere isn’t overwhelming.

I’m glad my friend recommended to eat here, because I thought it was very quality Mexican food. This place isn’t a very noticeable or large restaurant, and is in a corner. There is an authentic Mexican feel to the restaurant, which I always like. Since the place isn’t very obvious, and because I doubt a lot of people notice it, there was no wait.

Anyways, on to the food. They had a good variety of Mexican food, ranging from burritos, tacos, tamales, tostadas, and specialty plates. All the prices for the food are decent priced, and you won’t blow a lot of money here. Before your food comes, you get tortilla chips, which are alright, and also comes with a very spicy salsa. I ordered the Mexican pizza, because I like Taco Bell’s. It’s good to taste a quality made Mexican pizza. It was big, tasty, and somehow maintained some crispiness despite being drenched in sauces. Something that I felt was impressive was how the waiter was able to hold a few plate that were burning hot. It left a good impression. The food also came pretty quickly compared to other restaurants, which was nice.

Overall, I liked this place a lot since it has good prices, pretty solid service, delicious food, no wait, and a large variety. I definitely want to come back again some day to try something else on the menu.
