As per usual: the more authentic and delicious food is always the place in the middle of nowhere and in a building that looks to be condemned. Eat here the food and prices are excellent! The habanero salsa was amazing with great flavor!

Had the California burrito with no sour cream but instead added guacamole. I prefer the green sauce over the red. Red is a little too spicy for me. This location is convenient as it’s next to Todd where I regularly visit. Thanks for the good food and nice girl at the counter who listed the ingredients back to me to make sure my order was right.

Was at the Triumph dealership next door and felt like a burrito. I ordered a California burrito, was the best California burrito I’ve found in San Diego. On my second visit, I ordered a breakfast burrito and an asada torta for my drive home. Was excellent.

Doesn’t look like much when you walk past it but there is a taco shop inside. Talk about hole in the wall. Picked up lunch for the day, a burrito and soda, obviously the test, Carne Asada Burrito with/add cheese and a Dr.Pepper for sure. Cannot complain, food tasted great overall, carne asada had flavor, appeared to be fresh with NO burnt pieces on the meat like I have been getting at other places, definitely a plus. Staff friendly and customers appear to be regulars that come here. Will definitely return.

Not good at all! Won't be eating at this place again. Their carne asada burrito is just meat and pico de gallo. What kind of Mexican fast food serves a burrito with only meat and pico de gallo $7.99? After I complained and asked why there is no beans and rice. I was told that that's a different burrito... Seriously! Then I ordered chicken taquitos 3pc with cheese (suppose to come with cheese and guacamole) so I asked to hold the guac and switch it with sour cream instead, well that's a $.90 upcharge. My wife had a shrimp burrito and also was a dud! Shrimp literally looked like boiled shrimp without any seasoning, this burrito only had shrimp,rice and pico de Gallo $10. No chips, pickled jalapeños with carrots will cost you an additional $1.35. Lots of nickel and diming here for food that is sub par.
