If you can't find a good Mexican restaurant in San Diego you aint been looking to hard. Either that or you don't know what good Mexican food is...j/k. The best one's are the ones tucked away in the strip malls...little mom and pop joints, and there are hundreds of them in SD. Just keep trying till you find one that has all the right flavors for you, and stick with them.
As far as chains go...albertos, robertos, umbertos, roybertos, basically anything ending in bertos are all pretty good. Sergio's on Convoy is very good, and close to me so that's where I go most of the time. Good luck.

Los dos Pedros - on Turquoise in North PB. Across from Albertsons.

Casa de Loma next to West Marine in PL is great....try the carnitas, they're breath taking.

La Fonda K-58

That's part of SD isn't it?

If you want authentic Mexican food.....go to Farmer's Market on Imperial in Barrio Logan. There are a bunch of restaurants inside and the food is great! Keep in mind that its dead smack in the hood and you'll feel like you are in Mexico once you get inside.

Also check out:
Santanas on Morena Blvd.....
Jalapenos on Carmel Mountain Rd...(shrimp coctail and shrimp ceviche are delicious there and in generous servings)

Heres one for EVERYONE to write down. Not a lot of people know about it, but it is as Mexican as they come. Its called El Asador, on El cajon Blvd between 67th & 69th.
There is a beautiful motel next door full of hookers. You can get all of your meat in one stop.

There Carne Asada is cooked on Mesquite all day long. The best tacos/burritos you have ever had guaranted. They also let you put all the toppings you want on your food. Hand it to them, they roll it up and package it.

It is also a meat market. The owner uses only Prime for all his meats. And Carne Asada is still $3 a pound.

Dont drink the water.

la especial norte in leucadia. tortilla soup and chile rellenos are the best hands down!

Fidel's, El Indio, Old Town Mexican Cafe.

Other than those, try the places where the Mexicans eat. If the carnitas are good, everything else will be.
