Best Burritos in San Diego!
When in San Diego, this place is a must stop. I found their burritos to be the best burritos in town. My experience was excellent, with great food, service, and atmosphere.

Delicious Chimichangas and Fried Fish!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I absolutely loved the shredded beef chimichangas and the Cali burrito. The Mojara (fried fish) was also a highlight, served with a side of salad, rice, and beans.
The atmosphere and service were both rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5-star rating. The free parking lot was convenient, and the price per person ($10–20) was reasonable. While I'd somewhat recommend it for vegetarians, the vegetarian offerings were not specified.
The green and red hot sauce are a must-try!

Carne Asada Burrito Disappointing
I usually buy carne asada burritos and they are very good. However, the last one I bought was full of fat and nerves from the meat, and it was also very salty.

Burrito Missing Ingredients, Guac Placement Odd
My experience at the restaurant involved ordering a mixed burrito with extra guacamole, for which I paid an additional $2. 50. The guacamole was placed in dollops at each end of the burrito, ensuring some guacamole with every bite.
However, as I continued eating, I realized the rest of the burrito contained only shredded beef and beans. Furthermore, the burrito was supposed to include tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers, but these ingredients were completely missing. I advise checking your order before leaving the establishment.

Delicious Chilaquiles and Great Food!
I visited the restaurant at 7: 35 in the morning. The chef was present and took my order. He prepared a beautiful chilaquiles with a delicious salsa Verde.
The coffee was just okay, but overall, the food and the entire experience were great.

Amazing Carrots and Service!
My experience at Restaurant Gallegos was fantastic! The pickled carrots here are the best! Everything about the food was great.
The phone service was top-notch, especially from Señorita Olí. Wow! Truly amazing!

Excellent Service and Delicious Food!
I love that you can call your order ahead of time, about 15 minutes, so your food is ready when you arrive, and you don't need to wait in line. The customer service is always very friendly. The owner, when he's there, will come out and check if everything is OK; he's very humble.
Overall, I love this place and recommend it 100% for its delicious food.

Consistently Good Birria Dishes
My experience at this restaurant has been consistently good based on the few items I've tried. The Birria noodles were particularly good and flavorful. I also enjoyed the Queso Birria tacos, which were also good.
Overall, a positive experience with the food.

Disappointing Milanesa Experience
I used to go for the milanesa de pollo. & this time it was nasty. It looked like it was heated in a microwave & they cut the milanesa in half to make 2 plates.
The place for me is X.
