Great burritos! I highly recommend the San Diego burrito, it has Carne Asada, bacon, fries, cheese, guacamole, and chipotle sauce. Their tortillas are really delicious and so is their horchata. They have a drive through as well as plenty of seating, inside and out.

8 minutes and 22 seconds, still on hold and forgotten on the phone. Why does this always happen? I want to call in my order because it takes so long waiting in the drive through. How do you keep forgetting you put someone on hold? Tamarind Thai does this too.

* Back to edit this at the 15 minute and 30 second mark. I've now just walked across the street and gotten a burrito from El Cilantro. Damn shame.

Mmmmm.my service was great! The food is authentic and delicious. There were several customers enjoying their meal. The restaurant was fun with an athletic game.a Mexican concert and music player w fun ethnic music playing throughout

Pros: awesome chips, tasty salsa and the birria dip was on point.

Cons: the afternoon staff seem mostly made up of rude highschoolers. The birria was flavorless, and the quest birria had a tiny amount of cheese. It was undercooked and soggy.

Great date night strat: Penelope's, then The Luau tiki bar across the street. In love with the fish tacos, and their chips are perfectly crispy! My fav tacos in San Diego so far

Ive gone here a number of times through the drive thru but this has been the third time in a row that my order has been incorrect despite the $25-30 i spend on it. This time specifically we ordered a quesabirria combo (and specified we wanted rice and beans) and also ordered a 4 rolled taco combo and asked for pico de gallo to be added. Our total was $31 after adding drinks but what I got was 2 quesabirra and the rolled taco combo without sour cream or pico de gallo. I appreciate the food made to order but this time you cant blame it on being busy because there was literally nobody in the drive thru but me. Unfortunately, i wont be returning.

Excellent food, generous portions, and a drive-thru to boot.my first visit but I'll definitely be back!

SEPTEMBER 16 2023 UPDATE:

the food on the most recent of many visits was as good as ever.however, i was significantly overcharged.as best i can tell, 20% or so was added to my total.i have nothing against tipping but this seems excessive for a drive thru order, especially since i did not authorize it.very disappointing and i probably won't return.

Great food! Solid portion sizes. Fish tacos and burritos are great. California burrito is very good. I'll try something with shrimp in it next time.
