El Pueblo's fifth location is open at 564 Pearl Street in La Jolla Village. We took over the former Jack in the Box site and brought the full El Pueblo menu — the $1.39 fish taco, breakfast burritos, carne asada, enchiladas, tortas, bowls.

The food was very good! The service was quick and friendly which we appreciated because we had two leave groups together. The tacos were excellent and good size. The chimichanga was huge! Thank you Joey, Francisco, and Cristina!

This place is on point! You know you’re in for a good meal when the pollo is awesome and let me tell you the chicken was superb! Full of flavor and the portions are huge!! The carne asada is top notch, the guacamole was fresh and I don’t know where they get their sour cream from, but it was good! The real chefs kiss is the service; friendly faces, super friendly and helpful: Joshua, Natalia and Francisco are the real reason I’ll be coming back! (And maybe for the pico too)
