Mexican Food in Del Mar — Full Bar & Coastal Fish Tacos

El Pueblo Del Mar is our flagship bar and dining location — 2673 Via De La Valle, Suite C, minutes from the beach, the racetrack, and the Del Mar Horsepark. This is the El Pueblo you come to when you want the full coastal-Mexican experience: 32 craft beers on tap, a full bar, an outdoor patio, and the fish tacos that made us famous, served alongside a mezcal flight if you're in the mood.

Family-owned, the Del Mar location has been featured in Marketplace, LAist, and the San Diego Union-Tribune for the $1.29 fish taco we've never raised the price on. Locals drop in after surf sessions. Racetrack crowds stop through on their way home. Post-work tables stretch into the evening as the patio fills up.

Full Bar, Outdoor Patio, and Coastal Fish Tacos

Beers on tap cover the essentials and the deep cut — Mexican classics like Pacifico, Modelo, and Victoria, plus San Diego craft staples and seasonal rotations. Beyond the taps, the full bar pours premium tequila, mezcal, house margaritas, and a spicy margarita that Del Mar regulars order by the pitcher.

The patio is the signature room. Outdoor tables, heat lamps for cold nights, and enough space for a private party of 12 without feeling cramped. If you're planning an event — birthday, bachelorette, work dinner, engagement — the Del Mar patio is the one most locals book. Minimum party size for reservations is 8.

Finding Us Off Via De La Valle

We're on Via De La Valle just east of the 5, in the shopping strip at 2673. Easy freeway access, easy parking, a five-minute drive from Del Mar Beach, Torrey Pines State Beach, or the racetrack. Locals from Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, and Carmel Valley come in regularly — we're the halfway point between all three, and the last stop before the coast.
