FIDEL'S LITTLE MEXICO - SOLANA BEACH, CA

FIDEL'S LITTLE MEXICO
607 VALLEY AVE
SOLANA BEACH, CA. 92075
858-755-5292
HOURS:  Daily 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM

Fidel's was my go to Mexican restaurant back in the day when I lived in Cardiff by the Sea and Encinitas.  Remember eating here whenever I could afford it and it was really cheap back then.  While the prices have risen, the restaurant itself has not changed much in over 30 years.  The food unfortunately has changed for the worse.  Really not satisfied on this visit.  While the service was good and the portions large, the flavors that I remember were missing.  The Chips and Salsa were spot on and delicious like I remember.  Love the salsa here and it is amongst my most favorite of all Mexican restaurants.  I ordered a Shredded Beef Taco and Chicken Tostada.  The Taco was ok but the meat lacked flavor.  The Tostada was large but it just was impossible to pick up as it fell apart from the weight and moisture from the refried beans.  Chicken had some taste but overall was pretty bland meal.  The Chicken Taquitos were good and served with a huge scoop of delicious Guacamole.

FIDELS LITTLE MEXICO

FIDELS LITTLE MEXICO
SOLANA BEACH, CA

Next to Juanitas and Roberto's for Mexican take out, I have eaten at Fidels probably more times than any other sit down restaurant.  Back in the day this was the place to go for great food at very affordable prices.  Going back now, the place seems larger.  There is a full bar and seating inside and outside. The food is still delicious.  Large portions, great prices and atmosphere.  I have always loved the salsa served with the chips here.  It taste just like old times.  Not spicy but full of flavor.  Love the salsa.  I rolled with a Shredded Beef Taco and Chicken Tostada Plate with Rice and Beans.  The Taco was filled with shredded beef and topped with cheese, lettuce and pico.  One of my favorite tacos ever.  The Tostada was just as good, but the shell got soggy and I had to eat it with a fork.  The rice and beans here are top notch.  My friend had half of a Tostada and it was huge.  A full plate load.  He loved it.  Another friend enjoyed the Tamale which he said was "great". This was a great meal.
