Overall I was happy with this restaurant. They offer indoor or outdoor seating options. The place feels like a vibe, cute decor and a DJ. This spot is a walk up & order similar to taco shop but once your meal is ready the staff brings it out to you. The service was friendly and accommodating to show where the water is & cleaning your table. I enjoyed the food it all had great flavor. The beans didn't seem homemade but yet were good. I will come back to enjoy the vibe & other options. P.S. Barrio Logan have a lot of new shops & restaurant mostly owned by Mexican American. Please support our community, they take so much pride in what they do. read more

This has always been a great breakfast spot and today was no different. I had a shrimp, mushroom, onion and spinach omelette that was very good. The beans were a little under seasoned but still good. Service is always kind and friendly. You do need to come checkout the inside of this place. It's a work of art. read more

Visited this Friday morning. LOVED. The staff goes above and beyond with their customer service. Super helpful and kind. You can order first at the cashier and sit then they bring your food. Orrr you can sit and order from a qr code at a table and I thought that was unique and cool. Everything was delicious, flavorful, and fresh. My favorite was their carnitas on the chipotle chilaquiles. read more

Still delicious! I took my father in law for his first ever chilaquiles. el Carrito did not disappoint. I love the paper cafeteria plates, so old school. These have the right amount of spice, frijoles are creamy and just the right amount of potatoes. What better way to compliment breakfast than w Mex Coke. They've also added some high tops outside which are perfect. Muy Bueño y mí favorita read more

I was really looking forward to Mexican food and decided to try El Carrito in Barrio Logan. We ordered the enchiladas, Chilaquiles Chicanos, and a carnitas taco. Overall, the food was average (and a bit disappointing). The enchilada sauce lacked a bit of flavor, and the meat inside was kind of bland. The rice looked like it had been sitting for a while, some grains were hard and dry. The chilaquiles were okay. It didn't fully satisfy, though the machaca had good flavor. Service was a mix. Nice staff. However we waited over 30 minutes for our food. One positive was being able to refill our agua de horchata. The restaurant has eclectic décor and plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. read more

I remember coming here years ago with my dad, we sat in the main compartment-- known as their trolley car seating area. And I recently went again, but since I was with a large group we sat in their extended seating area. This area could hold a lot of people! There was also seating outside in front of the establishment, but with smaller tables (seats 4 people at most). The workers are kind & if you want any recommendations they will give it to you. Their menu is big, some prices might look high-- but you actually get a variety of items with it that makes it worth it. I ordered 2 carnitas tacos since I wasn't super hungry for a burrito. The tacos were perfectly sized and stuffed with meat. The onions were crunchy but without that raw onion bite-- which is why I ate them. (: usually I take the onions off, but not this time. In addition, the guac was vibrant and fresh. I also liked the tortillas because it wasn't thin & broke when you bend it. It was slightly thicker than your usual and had a softness to it. The salsa that came with it was slightly smoky but not spicy. My friends ordered a variety of items off the menu and devoured it! So it's safe to say, you'll be good with anything you order. One friend even ordered pancakes! She said it was fluffy and the bacon/eggs were delicious. The cucumber agua that they had was well loved by everyone that ordered it, some went back for seconds. I recommend El Carrito if you're in Barrio Logan! read more

This morning I woke up feeling depressed, I took the trolley over to Barrio Logan and got a Cafe de Olla and a Torta Logan and now I feel not so depressed. The torta was pretty good and the cafe de olla was nice but not the best I have had. read more

El Carrito - DIVORCIADOS - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

El Carrito in Barrio Logan is a must-visit. I always get the chilaquiles with carnitas and over-easy eggs and it's a solid 10/10 every time perfectly balanced, flavorful, and so satisfying. The location makes it even more special. It's right in the heart of Barrio Logan, on such a historic street, and the aesthetic of the place is absolutely beautiful. You really feel the culture and history as soon as you walk in. The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful, especially if it's your first time they're happy to explain the menu and give recommendations. My boyfriend always orders the torta de carne asada, and it's also really, really good. Amazing food, great vibes, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend. read more

BEST CHILAQUILES IN SD! This is my Go-To when Im craving chilaquiles - pro-tip: GET THE DIVORCIADOS! Fresh, crispy tortilla chips layered with two savory and complex sauces (guajillo and poblano) so much depth of flavor in the sauces - THE SAUCE IS WHERE ITS AT - along with cheese, crema, onion, cilantro, and eggs! Comes w/rice, beans, and potatoes! I love adding avocado - they also make a damn good michelada with Mexican candy piled on top! The rest of their menu looks so tantalizing, but I cant spot getting the same. Thing. Every. Time. Do yourself a favor and support them so they never go anywhere! Thanks El Carrito! read more

This was a hard rating to decide. I debated between 3 and 4 stars. I just couldn't get over the amount paid for a burrito and the portion size. Especially in Barrio Logan with soooo many excellent alternatives in every direction. Flavor-wise it was delicious, but it cost over $16 for what I would call a petite or kids size burrito. It did come with a small handful of fresh tortilla chips and 2 tiny sides of red and green salsa. No salsa bar with any other condiments or salsa. The decor was really cool, they had a nice seating area in the back and a ton of tables in the sidewalk. It's located in the heart of the revitalized part of Logan Ave. Service was fast and friendly. You order and pay at the register and they bring the food out to you. They have a small bathroom hidden around the corner. Everything was very clean as well. Parking on the weekends is a little hard to find. read more

Came back for the same breakfast that was unbeatable before to find that it had changed. You now only get one egg instead of two & the sauces had also changed since last time & not for the better. Don't get me wrong, the food was still good but not as good as our initial visit. Bummer. read more

Just don't get the seafood here we ordered the fish and shrimp tacos and shrimp ceviche. They forgot one taco, the fish was bland and the shrimp was frozen chewy and fishy tasting. Nothing had been salted right. And the salsas were mid. The place has a nice aesthetic and presentation but the food was definitely lacking in flavor and quality and the service was just okay. read more

We came here because we wanted tacos and Salud had closed down on us. We saw the reviews were decent so decided to check it out. It seems like a tiny place but they have seating in the patio inside and that area is actually very nice! They have created an outdoor garden space, which feels airy and big as compared to the inside space. You order at the counter and then choose a table. We ordered 3 tacos - the asada, the chorizo and the fish. The tacos were good...not as good as Salud (which is/was my favorite) but pretty good. The chorizo was the best followed by the fish and then the asada. The side of Spanish rice was very good. The beans were fine. The salsas were good! All in all, this was a surprisingly good experience. read more

Not my favorite spot for mexican. I ordered the grilled chicken enchiladas. Presentation was great but honestly I thought the dish itself was pretty dry, even with the salsa verde and sour cream drizzle. The ceviche also could have used an extra tostada to balance out the ratio. I liked that water cups were available and the service wasn't super slow. The inside was pretty warm but luckily they have outside seating as well (unfortunately angled due to the pavement, so a bit uncomfortable). read more

This place is so cute, the first building is trolley car, that used to run up and down the street in that neighborhood before all were removed. The history about the restaurant and the owners is magical. You feel like you're a part of history cherishing those that came before you. You stand in line and order and they bring everything to you. I love the menu and the play on words. I was sold on getting the Chilla Killaz, called La Chicana, but changed my mind for the tostada with black beans, cotija, pickled onions, sour cream with a very simple garnish. I opted for the mimosa flight. read more

A small trolley car diner in the heart of Barrio Logan was refurbished by new ownership. There were five tables inside for seating and another three tables outside on the sidewalk. Breakfast and lunch were served throughout the operating hours of 8 am to 3 pm on Monday to Thursday and 8 am to 5:30 pm on Friday to Sunday. Parking on Logan Avenue was all curbside. A burrito was my initial thought when I came during a lunch hour. After scouring the menu, I switched to the steak and huevos which was going to be a little lighter than a burrito. The dish came with refried beans, potatoes, and a tortilla. The tortilla was very fresh and soft which made a difference in how quickly I was able to finish the meal. The prices were similar to the nearby competition on the same street. The reopening of this diner was a welcome addition to the growing selection of eating and drinking establishments in this neighborhood. I would return if they expanded the business hours to include dinner service. read more

I was in the area around lunch time and this shop was the only restaurant open on the street that seemed appetizing. I was the only person in there, almost at 3pm, so I was attended to immediately. I placed my order at the cashier, the young lady taking my order recommended the el jefe. Shoutout to her because the burrito was delicious! I was starved but luckily the service was super quick! I don't even think it took longer than 5 minutes. I sat in the back area which was spacious and covered so it wasn't too sunny, thank goodness because the San Diego sun in the summer is a doozy! I didn't particularly like the loud banda music playing but expected from a Mexican restaurant. The one complaint I had is that the bathroom door could not open, there's no handle so it is tricky. But overall, I will be back! read more

Could no longer find good Chilaquiles's in Eastlake, decided to venture out. El Carrito in Logan was the answer. The restaurant is bigger than view. The interior is a nice and modern looking patio. But the FOOD!! Amazing. The chilaquiles were cooked to perfection. They stayed crunchy. The sauces were great and fresh. The potato's were cooked with chorizo oil or flavor which enhanced the flavor. Beans, simple and perfect. We will be going again today with more family. 5 Star. read more

And, they are pet friendly! You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. We sat in the patio area. Everything was nice and very clean! The food was tasty, ordered a build your own omelet. The veggies were grilled to perfection! The enchiladas with eggs were also very good. The food is brought out in paper plates, which is not a big deal. We will definitely be back soon to try them for dinner. read more
