Definite go to everytime I'm in San Diego. California Burrito is highly recommended. Portions are large so maybe split the burrito between two people.

Great Mexican food! I’m usually not a fan of Mexican food but this place serves really tasty burritos. California burrito was simply amazing. It has cheese, sour cream, potatoes, sauces, and steak inside. We got the steak replaced by the chicken, you could go either shredded or grilled. Rolled tacos were good too. They serve carrots along with complimentary chips. The service was quite quick and the servers were extremely friendly.

This is a great place to get delicious Mexican food at unbeatable prices! The portions are large, and the folks are friendly. Like most of the best Mexican food in California, you get free chips and salsa as soon as you come in to dine. The tacos are phenomenal! The burritos are massive! You will never leave this place hungry!

My son had enchiladas, my husband has carnitas tacos and I had potato tacos. I liked my tacos hard shell. That's how they made them. Not small tacos either. The carnitas meat was very good. Sometimes other restaurants have their meat over cooked. Not here. Very moist and delicious. My son enjoyed the horchata drink. That was good too! I'll go back again

My Pollo Asado burrito was so delicious, tons of meat and toppings were spread evenly throughout! And the horchata was so perfect. Love this place!

When calling to check if they have pork products in their beans and tortilla it is a firm no. This is great for those who don’t eat pork or meat. They also clean the cooking after each burrito to make sure there’s no cross contamination. Carne asada and egg burrito is top notch and flavorful.

This is my go-to for burritos in San Diego. I wish I had taken photos of the food but I always ate it all immediately and thought about that afterwards. The breakfast burrito is amazing and so is the California burrito. You can’t go wrong with either! Really nice people working there too!
