First time here , will be back !! Owner gave me little one some cut up fruit. Food was authentic- green enchiladas and home made Jamaica was the perfect combo
Chips and guacamole are delicious. Chips warm made fresh. Carne asada excellent.

Best carni asada. Staff are always kind.
The food is was beyond amazing and it came fairly hot. I was able to taste the quality within seconds. Definitely coming back!
Love this place. I had a jobsite nearby and almost everyday went to get something. The tortas are delicious and the Dani (Danny?) burrito is amazing, shrimp with steak and cheese topped with some pico de gallo, and some awesome sauce. Not sure if the kind lady who works during my lunch break works late but she is great and makes me feel like I'm family. Also, it isn't too packed during the 11, 12 o clock hour. But definitely try that surf and turf burrito.
Awesome stuff, genuinely really good price and you get so much!
Yummy yummy yummy. Super fresh and friendly staff!!
The lady and the guy there are always sweet to me and my kiddos
Really solid, hearty california burrito. Big as a tall boy. Friendly, prompt service the 3 or 4 times I have been in there. I have never had a bad experience. Prices are standard, good salsa, there is an up charge to use plastic. Bring cash. Recommend and will return.
They are so good. Great food and the lady there is also so hardworking and nice. Delicious and fast
i got the champion burrito and horchata and it was soo good i still can't believe its only 21 bucks for both and the burrito is like 1.3 feet long it huge. it takes me an entire day to finish and every time i get it it always tastes amazing i have recommended this place to all my friends and co workers and they also love this place the lady at the front was so nice, she is incredible and I've even learned a bit of Spanish to say thank you and all that my wife is always asking to go here for lunch and breakfast. out of all the places i have been is California in the past 10 years of traveling this is by far one of the best. to everyone who works here thank you and me and my wife will love this place for so long. hell i have even asked my wife abouty having this place cater to our wedding to help their biz and give a bit more to them for all the good food and service they gave us in just so little time. thank you
These are by far the best tacos in all of San Diego, not only are the owners and workers very friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing at a very more than fair price. I wished i lived here so i can have these every weekend i HIGHLY recommend this spot

Its a small place. But don't let that fool you. There food is awesome. We all try something different on there menu. And it doesn't disappear. Very good food. My family and I love to eat here. And they are very nice everytime we go.
First time eating here, got a good sausage egg, potato and cheese breakfast burrito. Good tortilla and ok hot sauce. I will Definitely l try it again.
The employees were a little shy, but very nice. The food was ready quickly. It was freshly made and nice and hot. I will definitely be returning. The prices were very reasonable. The parking lot is small but free. That's okay

The first time I went there the breakfast burrito eggs were actually pretty fluffy. The bacon was a little old in overall pretty good burrito. The second time I went there the guy working the counter was pretty short and rude. Then I got the burrito the breakfast burrito. The eggs were really dry and overcooked. Their potatoes are also not very well seasoned. The third time it never happened cuz I'm not going to go back.

I was so excited to order based on the amazing reviews. But unfortunately we got 2 cheese enchiladas that the cheese was still grated and COLD. not even a tiny bit melted. And the bean tostada was sloppy wet and mushy. I was hoping this was my new favorite place with the rave reviews. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day?? I’ll try again, but 2 strikes and you’re out 😩

I ordered two carne asada burritos with sour cream and had a friend pick them up. No sour cream in either burrito. This is the last time I eat here.
