Disappointing Burrito and Slow Service
Upon entering the restaurant to place an order for a California Burrito, I observed an absence of staff. Eventually, an employee emerged and inquired if I required assistance. I confirmed my need for assistance and expressed my desire to order a California Burrito for takeout.
Subsequently, another employee, who had been on a phone call outside, arrived and proceeded to the counter. I experienced a ten-minute delay before my order was finally processed, which I found to be an unreasonable wait given that the employee from the back had clearly observed me waiting at the counter. Furthermore, the California Burrito itself was unsatisfactory, primarily due to an excessive amount of cheese and a perceived lack of care in its preparation.
While my previous experiences at this establishment have generally been positive, this particular visit fell short of expectations.

Amazing Quesabirria and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the quesabirria with consume, and it was so good that I drank the leftover consume. The food was great, and I'm definitely going back to try more dishes.
The service was also excellent; Tania, who served me, had a great personality and made me feel welcomed. She even knew how to handle my friend Peter, who can be a bit much, lol. I highly recommend stopping by for some Mexican food.

Best Taco Shop in Town!
No over exaggeration, this is the best Taco Shop in the city. The Asada is always fresh and flavorful, their Avocado salsa is my favorite, and the service up front is always incredible. Definitely recommending this to all my friends!

Great Breakfast Burritos for Catering!
I had walked past this place numerous times as a local resident and finally decided to try it for breakfast catering for a work event of about 60 people. I'm so glad I did because their breakfast burritos were a massive hit! They were accommodating with selections to meet my group's dietary needs.
While they may not be a complete one-stop-shop yet, I would definitely use them again for something simple.

Rude Staff, Bad Experience
My experience at this restaurant was very negative due to the rude staff. The lady at the front was very rude when I asked for water. I do not recommend places where people treat others so rudely.
Their bad attitude instead of being kind will scare customers away.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the California burrito, and it was seriously the best burrito I've ever had. It's my favorite Mexican place in San Diego.
The food was rated a 5 out of 5, and the service was also excellent, receiving a 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was rated a 3, and the noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk. The price per person is between $10–20.

Incredible Food, Amazing Value!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! They always have parking available, which is a huge plus. The food was incredible and so affordable.
I particularly enjoyed the fish taco; it was big, incredibly tasty, and super fresh! The Taco Tuesday deal is an absolute steal at $7 for 4 tacos. You really can't beat that kind of value!

Great Tacos and Service!
My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. Joy, a fantastic hostess, informed me about the Taco Tuesday and Happy Hour specials. Based on her recommendation, I tried the Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Modelo.
The portions were excellent and everything tasted incredibly fresh! I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.
