Overview

Quixote occupies space in the LaFayette Hotel, a historic hotel on El Cajon Boulevard. Its chef, José Cepeda, previously worked under Josh Gil at Mírame, a modern Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. San Diego Magazine placed Quixote on its 2025 list of the forty best tacos in the county.

The recommended taco pairs shrimp with a chile and garlic preparation, recalling the camarones al mojo de ajo of Mexico's coasts, in which shrimp are cooked in butter or oil with large amounts of garlic and dried chile. The restaurant's drinks program centers on mezcal, the agave spirit produced chiefly in Oaxaca and neighboring states, which is often served neat alongside food.
