Ocho Mexican Food & Cafe
1870 4th Ave, San Diego, CA
Crema's Take
“Ocho blends San Diego's Mexican food tradition with genuine café culture, where generous burritos and creative specialty drinks like their standout iced Mexican mocha (complete with chocolate bits) keep both regulars and newcomers coming back. The vibe is authentically casual—quick-moving lines of locals ordering to-go, friendly staff rotating seasonal menu items, and the kind of place where a single burrito easily covers two meals. It's real neighborhood food done right, without pretension or premium pricing.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Super generous portions. Hubby got the bacon burrito and ate for both breakfast and lunch on it. I got the mini chorizo and egg burrito and it was plenty for breakfast. The next morning we went back and got a single chilaquiles plate and it was plenty for both of us. Hubby…
I love this! I love when I try a new spot and it hits. It’s so rare these days. The iced Mexican mocha was one of the best I’ve ever had, it was creamy and even had little bits of chocolate at the bottom. The machaca burrito was five stars- good tortilla, moist and juicy, and…
