    Chile Relleno burito
    Corina A.

    My Chile Relleno burrito was soooo good! It had rice, the chile, lots of cheese and was super tasty. My husband had the Shrimp Quesadilla and it was loaded with shrimp. There was a Chipotle sauce in there that gave it a good kick but nothing too spicy. Highly recommend if you want a gourmet version of a taco shop. There was plenty of room to eat inside or if you prefer outside there are some tables but a bit loud since it's a busy street. The staff were very friendly and will definitely be coming back.

    Birria Plate

    First of all I love the name of this restaurant "Everything for the Hangover". The design on both the outside and inside of the building is nice and colorful. I came during Chicano Park Day so it was super busy. There was a long line but I was just sipping on their bomb Michelada while in line haha. Luckily we did not have to wait too long at all for a table to open up or for the food to come out. Me and my boyfriend shared the Birria plate, chicken pozole, fish taco, and ribeye taco. Everything had soo much flavor and you can taste the love in the cooking. We demolished everything! The service was also really good, where servers would come every once in a while to take away dirty dishes or to give us more napkins. Thank you to everyone at Todo Pa' La Cruda for the delicious food and amazing experience!

    Descent Mexican food with an expansive menu that falls short of great. Service was friendly and efficient and restaurant was able to easily accommodate our party of 10. I appreciated that we could each order at the register which made it especially convenient for our large party. We ordered a variety of dishes, including tacos, aguachile, red pozole and burritos. Everything was good enough to eat but not necessarily a culinary highlight. The red pozole was a bit of a disappointment for this Mexican girl..lacked seasoning and though I appreciated all the extras available to add, the soup should be able to hold its own without counting on the add ons for flavor. A fair option for a large party.

    First time here today! Only reason the four stars is because the parking is horrendous and the service even though was good I would ask for a few things and they did forget. The food though was AMAZING! I had tacos Del birria and legit would go back just for those. The meat was flavorful and the tortilla was crispy. I also tried my mom's chilaquiles and it was delicious. My brother had pork with salsa verde that was perfectly season. Last not least my sister order menudo and it was great the broth in itself was fantastic. Nice place that definitely deserves more business.

    Best Pozole Verde in town hands down! I've dined in twice and order to go another time and all my orders have been Pozole Verde. The seasoning is perfect, the broth delicious and the pork so juicy and tender. I love all the fixings you get as well. This time I tried their ceviche as well and it was fresh and delicious. With plenty of fish and octopus pieces. I highly recommend Todo Pa La Cruda for some good authentic Mexican dishes. You will not be disappointed! The restaurant is large with plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The staff is really nice and friendly. I always look forward to coming here!

    Fish, shrimp and chorizo tacos
    Kelly M.

    We tried the 6 classic tacos... fish, shrimp, birria, adobada, carne asada, and chorizo. For me the fish taco was really great- my only complaint the price $5.99- on a Friday.. but definitely really tasty in every way. My son liked his adobada best, second for me was the chorizo. Above average tacos on great tortillas with a variety of hot sauces. Cute decor, need to try more dishes to really decide if the parking and prices are worth it.

    Service was great! Layout is a little awkward and this is a hybrid full service restaurant and takeout spot. You order at the window and they bring your food to your table. But they also bring out chips and salsa and refill your drinks and keep checking in on us if we need anything else. No messy salsa bar -- instead they bring each table large salsas brought to each table. Tables were also a little awkward... they kept part of the benches from previous restaurant and added some tables and chairs. The food was great! Burritos were stuffed! Parking was limited. Street parking only, no lot.

    Pozole Verde De Puerco

    Todo Pa' La cruda is that wishful thinking restaurant that has everything you need to cure a hangover... just as the name suggests, lol. Went because I saw they had pozole. They offer it either white or green and I believe in chicken or pork option. I tried the green one with pork meat. It was delicious. It also comes with the cabbage, onion, tostada and a taco dorado (fried taco) oh man!! That hit the spot!! Other items ordered were the enmoladas (mole enchiladas) and the chicken tostada which was very fresh and delicious as well. The place itself is decorated with many Mexican items and the music being played is also Hispanic. You really felt like you're at home eating. The service was great! The ladies take care of you and are very attentive while you are their guest. I definitely do recommend coming to check out Todo Pa La Cruda. You won't regret it.

    Great food! Wonderful service, good presentation and huge amounts of food! I took my family here and everyone was so satisfied.

    We went here after a college graduation and were happy to hear they could accommodate our larger party of eight. We had originally went to their other location located more inland, but are glad we ended up at this location. The decor is cute, and the restaurant is located in a cute little strip of small shops. Everyone enjoyed their dishes/drinks and we were very full when we walked out. I will say however that we did order desserts at the end (tres leches), that took a LONG time to come out. So it was a bit awkward at the end waiting for 3 slices of tres leches to-go only to see that they brought us the desserts with dine-in plates.

    Someone sent me an article about Todo opening in the old Salud location. Since we really didn't know where to go one evening, I suggested here. The space is great! Especially the outside patio which is great for people watching. I ordered a chicken burrito and the birria tacos. Daveed wanted to try the carne asada plate. The burrito was a good size and delicious! But the birria tacos were sooooooooooo good! And that consomme! Swoon! Daveed said the carne was flavorful but the knife was not sharp enough to cut the meat properly. On the second visit, I tried the Plato de mole. The chicken was sooooo tender and that sauce was delicious with just the right amount of heat! I believe the tortillas are made in house and sooooo good! Scooter tried the chicken enchiladas de mole and his only complaint was that there was not enough chicken. I like the chips that come out before and the salsa is really good. Not the traditional chopped tomato kind. Todo is definitely in my rotation! There's a really nice homey feel and the staff is really friendly! Cako Approves!

    Carne asada burrito

Tapas style menu, we were a party of 4 and ordered: Squash blossom Relleno - it's the flower part of a squash plant and stuffed with mushroom duxelles which resembles a meat mixture with squash succotash. Outside is a corn tempura with a tomato base sauce. Pulpo-grilled octopus, one of the best texture and perfectly grilled skin with a chewy yet soft interior. The sauce has a slight kick and crunch from the corn nuts. Crab corn doughnut- this is their specialty and we were about to skip out but glad we didn't. The brioche bun had a donut batter with lumps of crab salad and corn mixture on top. El Festin- perfect for our party of 4 because it was a platter full of 4 Cheese quesadilla, 4 shrimp, 4 chicken slices, 1 jalapeño bacon wrap, ribeye. Flan-we should have each ordered one ourselves!

You need to go at least once. A good place to bring peeps from out of town as well if the budget provides. Reservations are recommended. My only real gripes are the parking (not really their fault), the prices being a bit high and the noisy and dim atmosphere, but the other perks make up for a lot of this. Also, be careful of the candles, one dripped on my date and messed up her dress.

We grabbed a table for our whole crew, kids included, and settled in for what turned out to be a really memorable evening. Now, no meal is perfect, and ours had a funny little hiccup. We ordered the shrimp salad, and it showed up... shrimp-less. Just a salad. We laughed about it because hey, things happen, but what really made the night was how it got handled. Our server Erika noticed something was off before we even said much, and she jumped right on it. Not only did she get the dish fixed and out to us fast, she also surprised the kids with free dessert, no fuss, no attitude, just genuine hospitality. That's the kind of service that turns a small mistake into a story you actually want to tell. The rest of the meal was great too. Fresh flavors, a menu that leans into that coastal Mexican-meets-California vibe, and a setting that makes everything taste a little better.

It definitely has a kick, so beware if you're sensitive to spice, but it's so good. The queso fundido is another favorite and great for sharing. I've tried quite a few of the entrées over different visits. The Mexican paella was really good, the ancho chile roasted salmon is another standout, and the Pork & Chile Colorado Cazuela was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. Definitely save room for dessert too. The butter cake was delicious, and the churros were just as good. Beyond the food, one of the biggest reasons to come here is the location. The outdoor patio has amazing views looking across the water toward downtown San Diego and makes the whole experience even better, especially around sunset.
