About the Place
El Nuevo Milenio
Welcome to El Nuevo Milenio, a hidden gem located at 2323 Division St, National City, CA. This charming spot has quickly become a local favorite for its vibrant flavors and generous portions, especially when it comes to their renowned carne asada fries.
One of the highlights of El Nuevo Milenio is their carne asada fries, which have garnered rave reviews. Local food enthusiasts like GabrielPaul Hernandez call them the "BEST CARNE ASADA FRIES IN ALL OF SAN DIEGO!" For just around $12, patrons receive a massive tray that's more than enough to satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. It’s a perfect meal for sharing—or for those days when you simply want to indulge in good food.
But the appeal of El Nuevo Milenio doesn’t stop with the fries. The restaurant features a varied menu that includes delicious burritos, rolled tacos, and tortas. Customers rave about the California burritos and carne asada tacos, each accompanied by zesty red and green salsas that elevate the entire experience. Even more, the convenience of a drive-thru adds to its charm, making it an easy stop for anyone craving authentic Mexican food.
While the ambiance may not be what some consider upscale, it has a relaxed, no-frills vibe that retains authenticity. Regulars like Joy appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere, leading them back time and again for their favorite meals—especially paired with a refreshing glass of horchata.
In my opinion, what sets El Nuevo Milenio apart is its commitment to quality and quantity. Each bite is packed with authentic flavor that transports you to a bustling taco stand in the heart of Mexico. The only downside noted by some patrons is the occasional extra charge for sour cream, a minor detail that doesn't overshadow the overall enjoyment of their meals.
In summary, if you’re in National City and seeking a satisfying meal that won’t break the bank, look no further than El Nuevo Milenio. With a menu that prioritizes quality, generous portions, and mouthwatering flavors, it’s no wonder this joint is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

“ Local fast food with drive thru. 12 rolled tacos is a deal. Fried foods, carnes asada fries, burritos, and tortas. ”
“ This has been our local go to Mexican joint for my family. Carne asada fries and horchata is the way to do it down here in SD. Drive thru is super convenient. The location might look sketch but it's National City so don't expect much ”
“ Pretty solid California burritos and carne asada tacos. I liked both the green and red salsas quite a bit. The protective bars across the counter kind of make this place feel like a prison, but it’s understandable. The guacamole is also quite tasty here. Not a bad choice when looking for Mexican in National City. Update: Been back here a couple of times in the past few months, and have to unfortunately update and lower my rating. I remember the first time I ate here, the burrito was big, flavorful, and filled with meat. My first time back, things were decent, I had hard shell chicken tacos and my friend has a bean and cheese burrito. His burrito was big and my tacos were tasty too. Last night we returned, ordering a mixed burrito with chicken and a bean and cheese. They were both really small. Like weirdly small. The salsas were good still, but the burritos were just tiny for the price. Also, beware of the water, it had a faint yellow sheen and tastes kind of funky. ”
“ The food is always good. California standard prices but they provide big fat burritos. Good spot ”
