    We came here after seeing that El Burro was closed . Was skeptic about the low star rating. We orders a torta w fries it was delicious and best part of all the fries were crispy without me asking for it! We had tacos Asada and Pastor both very flavorful. The asada meat was tender . The real test is the Horchata which I am the pickiest with at any restaurant and it passed the test! Nice sople súper fast and clean environment. I'm not sure why the low rating but definitely better then a lot of places out here.

    I ordered this via GrubHub, so my review will focus only on the food and not any other experience besides that. I was craving something along the Mexican while at work, so I decided to look around what was open and nearby and gave this place a shot. The prices look reasonable, so I gave this place a try. Mini Burrito: The definition of Mini is quite different than what you expect. This is your typical Bean, Cheese and Rice burrito and what is what you get. The beans were cooked nicely and there was ample amount of rice inside. The cheese was also gooey and delicious. However, for its size, it did get a bit boring to eat towards the end. Wish it had a bit of a kick or some other flavor component to give it some pizazz or some sort of salsa to not make it feel too dry. Soft Tacos: This was the highlight for me. They gave me a good amount of protein for each taco I ordered the both tasted delicious. I love the crispiness of the chorizo and the pastor had a nice flavor kick to it. Always squeeze lime on top of the tacos to really bring out the flavors. Overall, the tacos were absolutely delicious and fairly priced to purchase. I can see myself ordering from here again.

    I've been coming here for around ten years after school, and I've always had great experiences and food quality. The workers are always pleasant and friendly and get the order correctly. The food is prepared no more than 15 minutes after afternoon work hours. I never had to wait excess amounts of time to order her. For starters, the #1 menu item I always order is the Taco Plate with beef. It might be because I've been coming here for so long, but nothing can out-beat their Taco Plate. (Nothing is left behind on the plate). Flavor-wise, it can vary, such as their super burrito, which does lack flavor but keeps me full. I've never had complaints about their food. Whatever keeps me full is fine with me. As for ambiance, the interior is painted in vast colors and art, and it is fun to look around while waiting for food. It's a pretty standard layout, a fast dine-in option. However, the location around the Taqueria has become quite questionable over the past few years. Most of the time, I visit during the day, so I haven't had any bad instances. Overall, I enjoy coming here for the memories and the food.

    My 1st visit. I am suprised they have such low stars, hmmm, Lol. I moved from the San Diego border of Tijuana so I feel like a Mexican food foodie a lil bit, Lol. I waa in the area & was looking for a quick carne asada burrito. It was quite yummy. I liked their salsa bar (I love a good crunchy radish) as well, though I have had better (work on your salsas & offer some grilled/roasted jalapenos please). However, I caught a glimpse Another customer's plate of tostada ceviche and I was intrigued. I went ahead and ordered that for myself and then ordered the carne asada fries and a cheese quesadilla for my family, to go. Their food was flavorful. I laughed when I saw their super burrito was 20 cents cheaper than their jumbo (I may have the "jumbo" name wrong) burrito yet the only difference was....drum roll please...lettuce! Bwahahaha Really? (On a side note: I wish all Mexican food restaurants gave the option of either cheese, guac, or sour cream for a lower fee than super cuz guac would win (for me) everytime! Ya'll can keep ya cheese and white stuff. Lol!) Lastly, I was unimpressed by my service. The counter cashier kinda ignored me for 5 min however he was kind enough & here is where they win for me. Good prices. I haven't seen a tostada ceviche for under $7 in forever. We had 4 items for $40 bucks. So thanks for not breaking the bank
