Best Mexican Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"This homey, spacious restaurant specializes in lamb barbacoa, a regional style of slow-cooked lamb or goat, that finds its way onto platters with rich consomé or tucked into tacos. Requiring a lengthy cooking process, the barbacoa is roasted for more than seven hours in an underground fire pit sheltered by leaves of the maguey plant. Fans of this regional dish rely on Aqui es Texcoco to deliver tender, juicy lamb delivered in tin foil with a side of soft corn tortillas. Diners can dress their tacos to taste with cilantro, onions, pickled onions, green or red salsa, and lime juice. Families and visitors from all over town take the trip down south for this delicacy and make themselves comfortable at one of the tables inside the roomy establishment. The only San Diego location resides in Chula Vista while the remaining two are in Tijuana and Los Angeles." - Roxana Becerril
