Awesome Nighttime Drive-Thru Service
My experience at this restaurant was great, especially the food. The guy working the drive-thru at night was awesome; he was so friendly and always working hard. It's clear he's dedicated to his job.

Consistently Excellent California Burritos
As a true burrito enthusiast, I’ve tried countless California burritos all around San Diego, and honestly, C. T. S. Continues to impress us every single time. Their consistency is what really stands out. The flavor, temperature, and overall balance are always on point. Every visit feels reliable, not mass-produced, but made with real care and pride. The tortilla has that perfect sear, the fillings are well-proportioned, and the taste is just spot-on. It’s the kind of burrito that earns your trust and keeps you coming back. Being literally a 1 min walk from my work, and having tried it multiple times, I can assure my review is 100% accurate! C. T. S. Absolutely deserves this 5-star rating. 🌯👏

Delicious Burrito, Unique Menu, Minor Billing Issue
This was my first time trying a different Mexican spot besides Cotixan in Clairemont, as my business is located down the street. I ordered the San Diego Burrito, which was huge and absolutely delicious. I appreciated that their menu is different, offering many custom burritos, which sets them apart from other Mexican restaurants. The only thing that bothered me was seeing a '$1. 25 Temp Beef Adjustment' on the receipt. I wish they would update their menu to reflect current prices, as food prices are certainly not decreasing anytime soon. My own business has a large sign stating a 5% card fee, and we advise customers to pay cash to avoid it – it's that simple.

Ripoff Price and Poor Experience
My experience involved ordering two burritos, Carne Asada and San Diego burritos, which were advertised at $11. 99 each. However, a $2. 50 adjustment for added beef was applied to the bill, bringing the total to $28. 53. I felt this was a ripoff and will never return.

Frustrating Breakfast Burrito Experience
I ordered a breakfast burrito with potatoes, eggs, cheese, and beans. However, I received it with potatoes and sour cream, and was charged more when I returned to get it corrected. The cashier, a younger girl, seemed bothered by my return. Despite repeating my order three times, even in Spanish, I received the burrito back with the wrong items, and the sour cream was still included. As I am allergic to sour cream, I've given up on getting it corrected. It's incredibly frustrating to pay $15 for items I didn't ask for.

Favorite Mexican Spot!
The main guy there is absolutely amazing and nice. The food is great. We just moved close by and have tried many different Mexican restaurants. This is our favorite spot so far. Today I got the birria quesadilla and it was so delicious. Try it with the birria sauce and sour cream.

Huge Portions, Amazing Food!
My experience at this restaurant was defined by its incredibly HUGE portions. I was so sad that I couldn't finish everything, but the food itself was AMAZING!

Frequent Order Errors, Disappointing Experience
I've given this restaurant several tries due to its proximity, but I will not be returning. Out of the five times I've visited, my order has been incorrect three times. They repeat the order back correctly, yet still provide the wrong items. As I don't eat red meat, I specifically request chicken meals, but they have given me carne asada instead. This results in me giving away the food I paid for and having to prepare or purchase something else. It's been very disappointing.
