Owned and operated by the Montanez family for over 45 years, Fidel’s Little Mexico is a sprawling, hacienda-style Mexican restaurant tucked away in a secluded Solana Beach neighborhood.
Able to seat over 350 people on three different levels including a festive courtyard, Fidel’s expansive menu offers traditional favorites as well as house specialties that will transport you and your party South of the Border.
Mouth-watering appetizers at Fidel’s include flautas, nachos, and cheese crisps, but for that little extra zing, try a plate of the jalapeño poppers (deep fried, lightly breaded jalapeño peppers filled with your choice of cheddar or cream cheese). From the list of entrées (ranging in price from $9-16), popular favorites include the tostada suprema, chicken burrito, carnitas (chunks of lean pork served with frijoles de la alla and tortillas), chile rellenos (made from a treasured family recipe), and the spicy, but flavorful crab enchiladas.
Naturally, there is also a list of classic combinations for around $12. Happy Hour is from 4 – 7pm Monday-Thursday and boasts an upstairs taco bar that serves both carnitas and Milanesa tacos with a wide array of toppings. Remember to top off the evening with some flan, bunuelos, or Mexican hot chocolate for dessert. Your server can also recommend a selection from their list of cheesecakes.
Fidel’s takes dinner reservations for parties of 8 or more, but it is also available for larger parties, such as wedding rehearsals and family reunions. So whether you’re enjoying dinner with your closest friends or just hanging out at Happy Hour and munching some chips and salsa while sipping on an icy margarita, Fidel’s offers a pleasant respite just a few miles from the Pacific.
