“ Great food, amazing choices of salsa from Extra Hot to hot and mild, including a chunky sweet salsa, avocado salsa and the rojo was delicious! The Al Pastor was fresh, the cilantro and onions were plentiful and the food was hot and tasty. ”
“ Been coming here for at least 10 years and I have NEVER had a bad experience. Their food is amazing, 10000% recommend to everyone. The California burrito is life changing. ”
“ It's been a while since I've had food from them. Incredible as always, and the Milanesa is too notch. Rivals my grandma's ”
“ this place is always so good and the best place to get mexican food in the area. they have a huge menu and nice portions. crispy fries and tacos! the food is not too heavy and they're heavy on veggies which is a huge plus for mexican food. the drink selection is great too as well as the flan that they always have in stock. we like jarritos and mundet soda ”
“ their 5 mini tacos combo is quite filling! can choose up to 2 meats out of the 7 offered. carne asada was tough and not flavorful. the al pastor was much more tasty. love the non-spicy red salsa. ”
“ Went there in the morning (around 8), the staff was very nice. California Burrito is great tasting, fries were not super crispy(stylistic rather than a mistake) and the burrito was kinda small but makes sense bc of the price. I liked the chips and guac and the sauces were nice and spicy. Hard to choose between here and Jalapenos, probably comes down to personal preferences when it comes to the fries. ”
“ The food is great! Their menu selection is really big and they care real cane glass soda made in Mexico. In addition they have traditional Mexican drinks like Jamaica. The plates are quite large and have a good portion of rice and beans. ”
“ This place deserves all the five stars for the taste of food. The salsas are flavor full and cover all the spice ranges. The fish taco is so tasty , fresh and juicy.. hands down, the best so far in San Diego. Burritos are great too. Try the burritos in wet style. The French fries stuffed in California burrito are still crunchy , imagine how fresh those fries are. The ambience of this place is not so grand, but you can feel the vibes of ordinary old town taco shop. The salsa marked as 'very spicy' is really 10/10 spicy. ”
