Alvaro's Mexican Food - La Jolla

Found this place by chance in a quiet little neighborhood. The oxen, rice and beans were delicious. Very fresh tasting and reminded me of cooking Grandma. The Enchiladas Mixtas were also delicious. Service was fast and friendly. They have a very small dining area inside but offer some dining rooms outside. Your drive is small, but efficient and you can actually understand the person talking to you through the microphone. Even serve soda machine and good size salsa bar with many options available. Very clean inside and outside. You can see into a part of their kitchen from the dining room window and even this area was clean. I can't wait to go back when I'm back in the area.

Always drive by and see line in drive thru. Finally stopped and ordered. Beef taco and cheese enchilada combo taco was okay, enchilada was excellent. Sauce was exceptional. Rice and beans were so so however chips were out of this world. Will definitely go back again.

The food is amazing! I'm convinced that every item on the menu is fantastic. Great job, Alvaros; you truly excel!

The food was excellent 20 years ago. The staff is consistently quick and friendly.

The food is decent, but the fact that they are open 24 hours definitely earns them extra points in my opinion!
