    Solid breakfast burrito. $16. Huge portion (for me). Salsa rojo and verde were fireeee. Small spot with a market attached. Its simple. I recommend this spot if youre in the area. Burrito was tasty and filling. Service was friendly!

    I tried the carne asada burrito, and holy moly was it good! It came with the usual carne asada, guacamole, cheese, pico de gallo, and sour cream on a flour tortilla. That first bite of carne asada was so flavorful, juicy and not dry, and the ratio of ingredients was just right. It was further enhanced by their delicious homemade salsas. I've tried a lot of carne asada burritos in my life and this one surprised me how much I enjoyed it!! I will definitely come back again for their carne asada burrito!

    Carne Asada Breakfast Burrito

    This place is a hidden gem! I came here on a Sunday morning, and this little market had a small line. The menu has a great selections of breakfast burritos and other items. The interior is very casual with a couple spots to sit down. It seemed best for grabbing a quick bite and taking orders to go. I ordered the carne asada breakfast burritos, which came out hot with green and red salsas. The carne asada breakfast burrito had a generous amount of meat, eggs, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole inside. Each bite was a delight! Highly recommend for your next breakfast burrito craving!

    Breakfast burrito

    Best Mexican food in the area. Great quality ingredients and prep as well as portions. I've had the Cali burrito, surf and turf burrito (plus fries, no cabbage), breakfast burrito, chiliqilles, and birria taco. All good! Best breakfast burrito I ever had. Packed! Tasty meats! Must try! Cali burrito and surf & turf. That carne asada is tasty! Marinated in lime or some sort of citrus. Salsas are also great! Green is limey and red has some of that heat. I like to use both

    Look at that beast. Huge burritos here.

    This place, tucked just down the road from Fidel's/Tony's in Eden Gardens, consists of a small market in one room and a restaurant/taco shop in a connecting room. The market has a variety of mostly Latino goods, including drinks, meats, veggies, and fresh cheeses and freshly-made salsas. I was very tempted to buy a couple of the salsas but did not do so. I will get them the next time. The restaurant/taco shop portion has a few tables and a much better menu than you might expect. There are tacos, burritos, tortes, plates, sopes, and a few other options. My guess is that most people just get takeout. We came for the burritos, which are absolutely massive. One burrito is probably good for two meals, They also offer "mini" burritos which are only "mini" when compared to the regular sized ones. The mini burritos are probably about 75% as big as a normal-sized burrito at some other taco shop. We tried one mini (papas con chorizo) and it was a little mushy but just fine. I was hoping for a bit more flavor and spicy bite from the chorizo. The Ultimate Breakfast Burrito comes with eggs, bacon, potatoes, ham, and sausage, and it is a delicious beast. The California burrito is made with carne asada and fries, and it is a standard example of this type. The shrimp enchilada burrito was the clear winner. The chipotle cream sent this one over the top in terms of delicious flavor. There is no filler whatsoever in these burritos. The tortillas are fresh and they are packed with proteins and whatever other ingredients are described in the menu. The salsas they give you on the side (spicy or not are your choices) are clearly housemade, although the "spicy" one was not very spicy. The counter worker was very friendly. This is a no-frills taco shop and market. The portions are extremely generous. The quality is there. They also have their own parking lot, on the side, and in the back. As we were leaving, it looked like they were setting up a grill to serve freshly-grilled tacos out front. I'm a fan.

    This is a hidden gem in Solana Beach! The most authentic mom and pop Mexican food there is. Our favorite are the mini burritos for breakfast. They are small but emphasis on the word "mini". It's the perfect size for when you're hungry, but not hungry enough for a huge burrito. And if you do want a full burrito, they have that as well! The menu consist of a lot of authentic Mexican dishes with some specials on the weekend such as pozole or menudo. Next door is a small market that has all your Mexican items that you may need if you plan on cooking a dish yourself. Staff is friendly and attentive and food is made to order. Check it out next time you're in Solana Beach.

    Chilequiles with green verde salsa
    Connor B.

    Absolute hidden gem. All the recipes are from the woman's grandmother, who started the market with her grandfather "John". You walk in, you can tell a family owns the place. It's so wholesome and small. I got the coffee and 2 "mini" burrito deal. Best chorizo burrito and best bean and cheese burrito I have ever had! Not kidding. The burritos were not mini either, they were basically a normal sized burrito. Amazing! All for 8 bucks. My girlfriend got the chilequiles, they were insane. She got the eggs on the side, so you'll see in the photo the eggs are on the side but if you can imagine. The eggs on top of there. Holy molè this was so good yall. A must try if you are traveling down the coast of Southern California or if you are in the solana beach area! Thank you guys!

    Nopales con huevos
    ChapmanGrad U.

    Excellent breakfast choice! They have nopales con huevos! Loved it! Their salsas were fresh and tasty. Hubbie tried the breakfast sandwich and said it was delicious and filling. We'll definitely return next time we're in Solana Beach. If you're truly looking for a local place to support with great food, this is it. Service was excellent and there is a side door entrance to the small dining area. It's not fancy. If you like great tasting food and enjoy being with the neighborhood folk then come here.

I'd highly recommend both things I got (Reuben sandwich and mac salad) The reuben sandwich had a perfect amount of meat, perfect taste to it and had just the right of fat (cheese) as well as acidity (sauerkraut!) I would drive from Poway just to get this. Yes, you read that right. The mac salad is a nice add to the meal, the noodles are still very al-dente. The taste is identical to a traditional potato salad except swap the potatoes with al dente mac salad. Owner was super nice and had a lot on his hands but he managed to take 3 or 4 orders in during the time he made my sandwich. And take care of his daughter! I'm definitely coming back.

This place gets very high marks on Yelp but I was a little dubious. But it feels great when someone exceeds your expectations. The Reuben sandwich I ordered looked fairly ordinary but it was excellent. I loved it and literally wolfed it down. The basic turkey and cheese sandwich was fresh and delicious. The Italian sandwich (which included your usual assortment of Italian meats) was great. All of the breads used and ingredients were very fresh. I saw them scooping fresh avocado onto the sandwiches. That is what I like to see. They are not skimpy with anything here. These sandwiches are not life-changing but they are very well-made and delicious. The generosity with their ingredients is appreciated. Well worth a visit.

What I like about the store is that they always seem to have clean aisles, clean floors, and all of the items are put together very well on the shelves. When we walked in, we needed to find sunscreen, and there was a cashier who was nice enough to offer to help us find it. She directed us to where it was. The prices for the sunscreen are super competitive and very reasonable. I also found that they have the deli section near the produce department (on the left of the store). My husband and I peruse some of the things to see if we were going to have anything before we went to the fair. He ended up getting a packaged sandwich. I only got the sunscreen. It's always a good experience when we come here and we appreciate that Gelson is a small grocer in San Diego.

Pros: - Parking jackpot - Tons of parking in Del Mar (rare and appreciated) - Beautiful location - Surrounded by other shops, makes errands fee a little bougie - Clean and spacious - Wide aisles, organized layout, and easy to get in and out - Fun fact - I can spend hours at a grocery store browsing through the aisles looking at new products. - Hot food and prepared meals - Chef's kiss - perfect spot for a quick lunch they never miss - Health food heaven - A health nut dream if your wallet can keep up! I was tempted to buy some yummy new products but hesitated due to the price point. But trust, it is well worth it. - Gourmet and hard-to-find items - Great for when you're feeling fancy or experimental - Local products - love supporting local vendors - Friendly staff - super welcoming and go the extra mile - Not too crowded even on a Saturday - that's always a plus! Cons: - Prices = emotional damage - You go in for snacks, come out reconsidering your life choices LOL - Regular items can cost more - Your basic groceries will definitely be pricier than standard markets - Upscale vibes = upscale bill - Go figure! Final thoughts: This place is perfect for browsing, treating yourself, or grabbing a solid ready-made meal. It's not your everyday budget grocery run especially in this economy so shop wisely. Great spot though when you just want to splurge and treat yo'self! Health is wealth they say!

My pickup experience was mind blowing.

Customer service 10/10, surveillance, 10/10 XD The parking lot is stressful and lots of people were hogging the pickup spots because they felt a lot more important than everyone else I guess. Parking is crazy, but the parking lot and storefront are clean. Keep up the great work fine people. I'll be back next time my espresso packets run out.

Went back again on Aug 29 midday and there were 10-15 cars backed up to get in the parking garage and no spaces on the first 2 floors. Still many shelves were bare or big voids(cottage cheese section, ice cream section). But the biggest problem were the pro shoppers pushing multiple carts, crowding the aisles and making it really difficult to pick up my items. It has become untenable to go here other than for something unavailable elsewhere. The store needs to figure out if they want to be a convenient store they once were or a warehouse for professional shoppers.
