California / Burrito and tamarindo agua fresca
Scot W.

I had the California burrito during a recent visit here. It was quite good but the carne asada was a little under seasoned and a little tough. The avocado crema, lime wedges and salsa verde from the self-serve salsa bar helpful and bordered on necessary. The service was very warm and friendly, and food came out pretty quickly. They appeared to be doing good business at lunch on a weekday and were getting to go orders out promptly. The stools for their high tops were not the most comfortable, but I wasn't there for too long, so it wasn't a huge deal.

Nice little Mexican eats restaurant on India street not far from the shore. You pay at the counter and get your food. Some seating inside and outside but very casual. The salsas are prepacked so that's easy. Service was easy and nice. Got a $17 fish burrito and after tip came out to $20. Delicious and filling.

Pollo Asado / Taco and Corn Ribs / Appetizer

Polite cashier. Guided us on selections. Lots of food choices and drinks. Generous tacos and corn niblets were delicious. Reasonable price. Will go again! Ps sumo wrestling on the tv plus very danceable music in the background. Positive vibes just 4 blocks from Courtyard Marriott in Little Italy

Tacos
Francine G.

I'm so upset Yelp steered me wrong in San Diego... I wanted very much to like these but there was absolutely zero flavor to these tacos (both chicken and steak). Also came with no limes, what kind of authentic Mexican place doesn't include limes with tacos? The steak was so dang dry making it tough to chew. I had the chance to go to another spot but this was closer to my hotel and I was short on time. Only good thing was the staff when I was placing the order but otherwise skip this place and try any other for true authentic Mexican.

Chilaquiles are good, service is just sloooow
Lorenia M.

Confusing concept, order fast food style, then you get served on nice plates, we went during morning hours, but only breakfast was served, Food was good, the red sauce has a unique taste, that you should try, downside the food came slowly one by one for four people Huge turn off, there's many more places in the area to try, no one can wait 40 minutes for their food

I knew I was going to regret having Mexican food in little Italy. I was craving rolled tacos so bad and decided to give this place a try. If I told you I forced myself to eat them...like I was not enjoying every single bite. For chicken rolled tacos they were crispy and I mean to the point where the chicken itself was crispy. Felt like I was eating fried chicken. I couldn't eat the entire portion so I left the toppings...I can already feel my stomach. The tortillas were super crispy. Comparing this dish to a regular taco shop...I mean, at least the taco shops have meat from end to end of the tortilla- this one felt cheated. Overall not a place I would recommend. Rolled tacos are the easiest and this was a big no no for me. Didn't satisfy my craving. Never again. The staff was friendly though. Perhaps something else? Who knows, but not my first choice for Mexican food.

Corn  ribs! Super fresh and yummy

Friendly service and semi outdoor seating in the beautiful little taco shop right in the heart of Little Italy ! The food was tasty and the prices were reasonable! Recommended

While I was exploring little Italy for the first time, I was in the mood for tacos. Came across this place and man was the food good. The price may have been a little high but it was for sure worth it in my opinion. The service was good, I didn't get the lady's name but she was very nice and kind. The atmosphere of the place is very nice and simple. You can sit in or outside, they have a little bar with sauces. I would definitely come back again.

Chilaquiles / Plate with Scrambled Eggs modification
Isbed G.

Amazing food! Chilaquiles verdes had the perfect salsa verde. Friendly and quick service. Variety of salsa options - recommend the avocado cream and salsa verde. Great little place to watch the soccer games.

Carne Asada & Eggs Burrito
Jessica G.

Went there this morning for late breakfast. I ordered a Leo breakfast burrito. They accidentally brought me a carne asada burrito with egg. It was still delicious, very flavorful, the steak was so tender, and the tortilla was toasted perfectly. The staff offered to make my original order and package it to -go for free, even thought I loved what they brought me. I also got a vanilla iced coffee, which was pretty average but hit the spot. Also got to try the verde chilaquiles, which were perfect. Good sauce/chip ratio and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Staff were very friendly and service was pretty quick

Adobada Taco (left) & Fish Taco (right)

I've been so excited for this Mexican spot to open in Little Italy after walking past the "coming soon" sign for over a year! Finally went and picked up some tacos for takeout. The restaurant is counter service, with a small seating area, although they must mostly do takeout because there was no one inside on a saturday night. I got the adobada and fish tacos with the side of rice and beans. The tacos were both decent, but the salsas were a bit plain (the "medium" salsa verde had zero spice) and the rice and beans weren't great. There are lots of great (and lower price) mexican spots in SD that I would choose over La Casa Verde, but i'm happy to have a decent new taco/burrito spot in Little Italy and will probably give it another try.

Grilled Veggie Burrito
Jack M.

I stopped in this place for a quick breakfast Sunday morning. I ordered the Grilled Veggie Breakfast Burrito, but oddly enough, it does not come with grilled vegetables, which I quickly pointed out. The burrito comes with "black beans, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, potato wedges, cilantro & pico de gallo" (La Casa Verde, 2025). After I ordered it and paid, I asked the lady at the county what are the grilled veggies? I stated, that the burrito needed some grilled onions, peppers, zucchini, and maybe even mushrooms to call it a grilled veggies burrito. She agreed, and asked the kitchen to put some grilled vegetables in the burrito for me. They added onions, zucchini, and cauliflower. I was not a fan of the cauliflower mixed with eggs, but I decided to be grateful. The burrito was tasty. To make a long story short, if you are going to call a burrito "grilled Veggie" please put actually grilled Veggie on the burrito. There's a host of vegetables out there to choose from. Also, do not mix the black beans with the eggs, they discolor the eggs into a off putting grayish color. Just place the beans in the burrito. The service was good, and the salsa at the salsa bar were tasty and fresh. Inside and outside seating is available. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Great family owned and operated Mexican food spot in little Italy. The decor is highly instagramable with cute tiles and a plant wall. Don't sleep on the tres leches cake - by far the best I've had at a taco place. The spice of the atheer salad was really pretty - but be prepared for some heat with it! Friendly staff who takes your order at the counter.

Bestie made a reservation for a group of us on our first night back in San Diego. She chose Hidden…read moreCraft and it was perfect for the occasion. Serve yourself beer, seltzers and some yummy food (healthy options included) and you've got a great time! You order your food at the counter and then pay for the drink by the ounce, I believe. They give you a card to scan at the drink stations and you pay when you're done (at least that's how I remember it, lol). They do offer some healthier options like the Portobello Mushroom Burger, Kale & Quinoa Salad, and Sweet Potato Fries. We had zero issues with the food and my Gyro was very satisfying. I couldn't finish it! Prices are average and the ambiance is very casual. I liked that it wasn't crowded at all the entire time we were there. Although I'm not much of a beer drinker, I would still stop in for some seltzer and good grub! The employees were knowledgeable and friendly, as well.

Wow! From the service to the food, everything was top notch!! The service was wonderful! First, you…read moreorder inside by the cashier. Then you sit wherever you want. They have different varieties of beer you can just go get a glass, tap your credit card and then fill up as much beer as you want! My husband ordered the quinoa bowl with kung pao chicken. It was sooo flavorful and filling! I ordered the lemon salmon roll with soy paper! PHENOMENAL! It was a perfect flavored roll.
