Hidden gem behind the gas station, food is bomb, authentic, fresh, and staff is so friendly!! Love the drive thru, so easy to grab a burrito before going into town. Don't sleep on this spot it's legit

Amazing Mexican food, best California burritos in alpine along with great hot carrots and salsa. The man who usually takes my order is also very nice and always seems to happy to help
Family owned and operated! We love that. We had breakfast burritos here many times. They are willing to customize your order. Sausage and Bacon always great, chorizo can be a bit bland. Fish Tacos are great and good value.
They messed up my burrito the first time… so i called and the guy was super attentive about it. He was able to fix my order without hesitation. I really appreciated him going above and beyond with his service.
Moving out here to rural east county, I never thought I'd find a go-to taco shop. Having lived in the southbay for most my life, where there's a taco shop at every corner, I was spoiled when it came to taco shop accessibility. But man! This spot makes some fantastic food! Burritos are on point! Like, I can eat it without salsa good. And I've hyped the place up to a bunch of friends. They don't think there's any way a gas station shop is any good. They plan on making a trip at some point just to see what I'm talking about. Highly recommended!
It's a little quiet place with very good mexican food. The green salsa is fire.. and the service was great they made you feel welcome. Fast service, too. Visited 9:15 pm 04/27/24
Excellent customer service! I just had the best potato taco ever! This place also has the best Jamaica around!! Definitely coming back.

The food was decent. Not the best, but not a lot of options in Alpine. The prices seemed high (my total didn’t match the prices on the wall) and the service was slow. Good that’s there’s an option all the way up the hill, but could be better.

We arrived just before closing on our way back into town. 4ala cart tacos, 5 rolled tacos and a burrito. The tacos (rolled, carne, chicken, & fish) where edible, but that's about it. The burrito was devoured by hungry child who claimed, "that hit the spot". $45 total. Expensive considering the quality.

Grabbed a burrito. Sure, it’s like a newborn baby size, but half of it was fries and tortilla. It was decent and had flavor. Grabbed a medium coke, looked like a super small size. Maybe 10 oz? Up front pricing? Naaaah forget about it. You don’t need pricing on the menu. 15 bucks? of course! The cherry was the wait time as the drive thru while the cashier decided it was a great time to vacuum the place while the order was waiting and just “blah attitude “ salsa? Avoid the salty red and grab the green salsa. A little customer service care would really help out, and I appreciate the food, just not mostly fries in my Cali Burrito. The fries are part of the burrito , not the main item.
Many times the carne asada taste old and dry like it was leftovers from day before. Sometimes its good and fresh but when its not its bad. I gave them one more chance because the drive thru is convenient but it happened again.. So I will not go back

Ordered ham torta and got a breakfast ham and egg torta with lettuce and Pico de Gallo. Guy who's cooking doesn't know what's what.

We live near alpine and love the local Mexican food. We have tried this shop a few times and this time will be the last….We ordered 2 Calis and 1 B&C…I’m currently sick with the flu and had to ask my wife and kids if there cali is also tasteless and bland. They are pretty easy to satisfy but to my amazement they said there is no flavor, no spices…my wife said her B&C tastes like really old beans…she also told me they were not hot upon taking the delivery. Word of advice, don’t order here go right across the bridge where every other mex shop will taste better than this. It’s a real bummer but this place won’t hit the spot consistently, I assure you.
This place made me drop fire for days. I used to enjoy my bathroom breaks, but after those wretched three days of fiery hell and throwing up I never want to look in there again. I should send them my proctologist bill after that last visit. Never again. Please god check their Health inspections this makes no sense.
Worst $8.35 that I ever spent. Super salty, and I like salt. I could not finish the end of the burrito, which is usually(my favorite) full of flavor and juice. It started salty and 1/2 way in the taste beame even salter and plain disgusting.I Would highly recommend TO GO TO TAPATIOS!!!!
The worst food that I eat in my whole life, and they charge me $96,13 for a really ugly burrito,please people ask for the receipt always, you can't trust them
Spent 20 minutes in the drive through after placing an order with the unresponsive staff at the speaker box. Opened my food and took a bite, cold chicken burrito! And they never gave me my drink so yea. I'll never go back
I order a shrimp plates that has 9 shrimps on the picture but I only got 5 shrimps , the rice was watery n smaller size of rice n beans than the picture. The persons that were in the drive thru out their orders after me but they got their orders first n I had to wait. I paid 13 dollars for this is not worth it. I wish I could post the picture
Stopped here to order because this location was the closest at the time. Ordered Carne Asada Burrito. Super greasy and didn't quite quench my hunger...
