Yummy and unique selection of toppings for the fries dishes. I had the Pacquiao Fries, and the pork was almost candied. It was fantastic.
Cute place, can get busy. Looks like only one person doing everything.

First and last time I’ll go here. Came here based on the good reviews but I’ll never come back.

WAYYY overpriced and they can’t even get the fries right. Leave it in the fryer a little longer, how hard is that? Fries came out soggy, undercooked and super greasy and I didn’t find out until I get home. $20 or more after taxes for Pacquaio fries (and basically all fries). TRASH!

Disgusting, literally couldn’t eat it. I expressed to the owner my concern for the state in which the food was in and he cussed me out in Spanish in the most vulgar language, as a customer who didn’t even want a refund and u clearly stated that, this is by far the worst place EVER. Keep the money you clearly need it and people please don’t consume here, you guys can look at the pictures for yourself would you eat this? ! ITS ALARMING HES RUNNING A BUSINESS. WILL BE REPORTING TO HEALTH DEPT.

The gentleman that helped me at the register was extremely rude. I ordered an order of rolled tacos with ONLY cheese and guac for my daughter. I get home and realized they put the works in there so I returned and told them what happened. Instead of remaking my order, he begins telling me that I didn’t say anything and that I was lying. To which I said I did because it’s all I ever order for my daughter and she hates sour cream so I definitely make sure I say it. He keeps insisting that I did not say it over and over again. And I just tell him that it’s very unprofessional to be calling people a liar and that if he didn’t hear me then that’s ok but that he can stop calling me a liar. After being so rude I didn’t even want him to remake my order because who knows if he would do something to my food. So I just got my money back. Which by the way… $12 for rolled tacos? ! I went to a different taco shop where I paid half that price and were way better. I will not come back there again purely because of this man’s rudeness.

Total hole on the wall but the food though. Had the Pacquiao fries. Delicious.
Food was amazing and well portioned.
Service was great. Friendly and fast.

The food is so fresh every time. I’ve been coming here for 2 years and they honestly have one the most fresh rolled tacos in the city! I love that they have chicken rolled tacos! They taste bomb. Great service. They always have your food ready in the time frame they give you.

This place is ok. I was not impressed by the California burrito or the price. The meat could be better, the salsa verde was basic, and I did not like the red sauce at all. The size, however, is very large and probably why it's so expensive. I will give them praise for putting sauces and utensils in the bag.

I got the chili rellenos plate. I have to say, these are some of the best chili rellenos I have ever had. They are egg batter style, which I shouldn't even have to note because that's the only way to make a proper chili relleno. And the portion is huge! I can't wait to head back to this place!

Called in order came to pay the guy said I didn’t call and order and wouldn’t let me pay for my order when I called it in before other people got their food before me and I was not able to get my food due to him being disrespectful towards me. Use to be my favorite never coming back.

Bolt Burrito is the size of your forearm! Truly monstrous and oh so delicious. No regrets whatsoever. Staff was friendly and the burrito was wrapped really good. Give this place a try.

Burritos are absolutely MASSIVE and worth it. Tacos are individually priced and pretty hefty too. I got 2 of the fish tacos and 2 of the carne asada tacos and it was wayyy more food than I expected. Service was great! It was ready in less than 10 minutes. They've got tons of fun menu items. Will definitely be going back.

Truly amazing. At a lost for words with this one. Amazing service and the best burritos and fries I’ve ever had.

The food is pretty standard for the cheap Mexican style San Diego's known for. The salsas are quite good and the star of the show. Unfortunately they are pretty sloppy with their ingredients and often you find a big onion and other ingredients in things they don't belong. Speaking of onions, they absolutely load up their burritos with raw onions. The place is mediocre but better than most places in the area.

Amazing burritos and salsa but their breakfast burritos are the best I've ever had. Love this place.
Edit: Three years since last review and this is still my favorite burrito place in the city. They single handed got me through the pandemic.
