Standard walk in fast food setup. The food is really good. Like amazing good and fresh. If you like Mexican food you will love this place. Very good price.
Breakfast burritos: 5/5! Delicious every time! I either get the machaca (my favorite), chorizo, or Deluxe.
Carne Asada Burrito: 3.5/5 (it was very small, and the meat was tough/chewy/fatty). You can also see in the pix that the breakfast burritos had way more filling than the carne asada.
Salsa Bar: 5/5! Love every salsa!
Customer Service: 4.5/5. They're polite, but have given me the wrong order before :(
Overall, the burritos are smaller than I'd like, (Thanks, inflation) but are tasty. Everything tastes and looks very fresh, includong the guac!! None of that watered down sour cream garbage. I probably won't get the carne asada again. I'll stick with breakfast burritos.
A nice Mexican restaurant with a good variety of options. I like the pollo burrito. Handles better than most Mexican food to go.
Wonderful discovery for breakfast burritos. Chorizo was nice but the traditional ham, egg, cheese, and potato was even better!
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

Yesenia's has the best menudo in town. Fresh and done very well. Highly recommend the menudo, especially to get right after a long night. Iykyk. The breakfast burrito is....light and not full filling. They skimp on the bacon and ham. They California Burrito is light, and they skimp on the fries. The burritos have a lot of tortilla wrap...if the makes sense. You can see in the pics. Goood flavor to them. I just wish they filled the burritos more for especially since they are 12-15 bucks. Roll tacos are on point.
Menu is wide and confusing for me at one glance. Mini tacos of 5 should be either all shrimp or all fish, no mix match. We ordered chicken hard shell taco, it was a mistake, oil dripping like water out of the taco, please do not order any hard shell taco even if the cashier insist. They just simply fried corn tortilla and do not let the oil drip out, big NO.
Good side: I had the yummiest fish taco here. It just melted in my mouth. We ordered shrimp and fish taco and it was a hit. I have not liked fish taco of even taco stand which is very famous. But this place is first in my list for fish tacos. Place is like a cafe, and not so clean, we dined outside looking at the sunset. Pretty good experience. And yes they have salsa cart. Enjoy.
There is a reason why all the locals go to Yesenia's it’s the best and freshest Mexican food in Carmel Mountain Ranch! All there combo’s are filling and they have the best soups!
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.
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.
