Marieta's East...the place to go in east county if you're looking for authentic mexican food. We've been coming here for 20+ years and rarely does it let us down.I actually enjoy sitting in the bar area on a random weekday afternoon, when you can have the area mostly to yourself, great service, BOMB chips, and good food for a meh-decent price.My go-to is the bean burrito wet, or the veggie fajitas (perfectly crisped).
I took my parents here who have been eating authentic Mexican food their whole lives and they were very impressed. Everything was so flavorful. The enchiladas, the carne asada, and the margarita were all incredible. Dessert is totally worth it in the end with some flan or some churros with chocolate sauce. This place is amazing. 10/10. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Went here for lunch and I was so excited because I love Mexican food. I always see it packed full of people, so I thought this place must be really good. Service was really awesome and this is the only reason I give 2 stars. I ordered shrimp and it was not fresh , it was frozen shrimp. I know everyone does not make Mexican food the same. But this place should be ashamed of themselves .
Great service, yummy margs and food and doesn’t break the bank :)
Bad experience. Food was terrible. The flavors are just way off. My chicken fajitas tastes like the chicken was marinated in soy sauce. My husbands chili Colorado had a strange sweet, vinegar-y type flavor.The kicker though; they overcharged my card the amount their square system charges them, without my authorization. My bill was $70.80. I left a $5 cash tip and crossed through the credit card receipts tip line. They charged my card $75.80. So got themselves a double tip to cover squares 3% charge.Shady, overpriced and terrible. Don’t waste your time or money.
Great Mexican food & margaritas
Food was fantastic, not sure my stomach liked it so much the next day. I would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the poor service. The sever was rude and screwed up our order after coming back to the table 2 times to confirm the order he messed up. He didn't seem like he cared at all and just wanted us out of his restaurant.
Good food and happy people.
My husband and I just had Marietas delivered from the Main Street restaurant. I have to say it was the worst Mexican food I have ever had. I was born in San Diego many years ago and Mexican food is my favorite food- I could eat it every day. I have tried it everywhere from taco shops to high end restaurants so I know how good Mexican food should taste.First, we are less than a mile from the restaurant and the food was cold. Completely cold. Tasted like it was cooked and waiting to be served for a long time before it was delivered. The breading on the chili relleno was soggy and tasted like white bread soaked in milk. The cheese enchilada was tuff and tasteless with some weird sauce, again bland. The rice was bland, tasteless, mushy and over cooked. Beans were too salty. Then there is the taco. Who can mess up a beef taco? Well, apparently they can because for the first time in my life it was so bad I had to throw a taco in the trash. Tough shell -you couldn't even bite into let alone chew. Old cheese. Very little wilted lettuce. The weirdest tasting meat (if it was meat) ever. I couldn't even swallow the first bite. My husband had beef taco, beans and rice. Same thing. Disgusting. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. All this for a mere $50 plus tip.. I don't know how this business is still afloat even after covid. oh, wait-- I guess it's the high prices for nothing.Never again for us.
Food, drinks and service are great
