Jorge's Mexicatessen on North El Camino Real brings Texcoco-style chicken soup and counter-serve Encinitas Mexican food to New Encinitas east of I-5. The broth-forward menu rotates daily specials alongside chile relleno plates and tostada grandes, building a deeper steam-table program than the single-protein burrito model at Serranos Mexican Food further south on El Camino Real. Scratch-made salsas and fresh pico de gallo accompany every order, from California burritos to the huevos rancheros breakfast plate. The kitchen now operates multiple Encinitas locations and runs catering from the El Camino Real strip center, serving the same quick-service corridor as Chin's Szechwan east of I-5. San Diego County Environmental Health lists the El Camino Real kitchen at a 98-out-of-100 inspection score, among the highest for counter-serve Mexican operations in the 92024 ZIP code.
