This place has the best horchata drink. I have gone here just to get a cup of horchata. The food is delicious. The carne asada fries are big and of course delicious. I put this place above Taco Bell and below a sit down restaurant.

The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, but the food was mediocre. This might sound excessive, but the contents of the burritos are not equally spread out. I had no rice until my last 2 bites. Also the torta was so soggy, I couldn’t finish it.

Vegetarian burrito has animal lard
There is no lard-free alternative. Upon request, the staff is ignorant and rude. They actually think that lard in refried beans is vegetarian.as long as there are no chunks of their rotten meat on top. These people have no concept of healthy eating. Beware!

I always go for their burritos but I'd have to say their fish tacos are delicous too. They are quick and have a great salsa bar inside.

The food quality and prices are excellent.the drive thru can be very slow.so it might be better to just walk in and get the food.

Over priced. Even the mixed burrito is almost $8.00. Five rolled tacos with a small bit of tasteless guacamole. $6.49. Even had to ask for more than one salsa. Not the best place to grab an affordable quick meal

I eat here often. The food is made to order and usually very good.
Update the menu to reflect real prices.

Great food and very quick. Like amazing food. All 3 start go towards the food only though because their customer service is trash. Even going through the driveway, they went say anything but the price, grab your money and hand you food. Don't say thank you, they'll just shut the glass window on you before you finish saying it anyways.

Had a Shrimp Cocktail, it was very good. Actually it was better than some sea food restaurants.

One of the best Mexican Food eateries in the area. Fantastic food and quick service. Order a la carte or get a meal. One of our favorite places. They offer spicy sliced carrots too. If you are in PQ, you should stop by. You won't be disappointed.

Come here every time I'm in SoCal for the burritos. Cheap and massive burritos plus the hot sauce is on point.

I ordered a California Burrito no sour cream no pico de gallo. So they give me a burrito 3/4 empty. Major regret.

Been here about half a dozen times. Service is slow and employees are disinterested. Prices are $1.00 - 2.00 more across the board than most similar menus (e.g. Carne Asda burrito is $8.50). Food is average on the best days, below on others. Primary value statement seems to be “Only Mexican place within a 5 mile or so radius”. Bonus for legit Menudo if you’re willing to wait 15 minutes for it.

A pretty standard taco shop. The food was pretty good, the menu has range of items, but the prices are on the higher side. Service was fine, the food was hot and the burrito was large. I do like the assortment of salsas available, there's a guacasalsa which contains avocado and is a thinner guacamole basically.

The refried beans have lard and as a vegetarian that's disappointing but understandable. Cheese Enchiladas are good and so are the Chile rellenos, they could use less sauce though.

My family has lived in RP for over ten yeas. While we explore the restaurants within the neighborhood we live in, we also look to explore four variety,

I love the surf and turf there. The only downside to this location is that they dont offer half portions for their carne asada fries like the one by Camino del sur

Good hole in the wall mexican food chain. Slightly pricier than others, but I think all of them are increasing these days.

Fantastic restaurant! Been going here for years and I love getting the steak and eggs breakfast burrito (best one I've ever had!).

Great value - excellent food! Try the shrimp tacos. They have the best shrimp, cooked perfectly, with an amazing white sauce. Tastes just like the fresh shrimp we got from Mexico when I was little. The carne adovada fries are enormous and loaded with good stuff. The breakfast burritos are aersome, too (any time of day).
