David's Homestyle Fresh Mexican El Cajon Reviews
Had some really good tacos here. I was in a rush and ran in to grab some tacos, I usually check the reviews but didn’t have time. I thought the prices were a little high until I got my tacos. I got a cabeza and a lengua taco and they were full of meat, more than I have ever had at other taco shops. This was good quality meat, no connective tissue or chewy pieces. Lengua was cut into good sized chunks and both were so tender with great flavor. Onions and cilantro were fresh and it had a salsa verde on it with a little kick, a nice touch. I have since read the reviews and while I can’t speak to the value of the burritos, the tacos were well worth what I paid due to the generous amount of meat and the quality. Yes, they are renovating but it’s not ugly in there. I dealt with two employees and both were very nice and friendly. One of the other customers had a bowl of menudo and it looked great. This place is well worth a try.
Really love the Queso Birria & El pastor tacos! Looking forward to trying all the tacos and other plates. Wishing them much success, been there twice now and have not been disappointed at all. The meat quantity fills me up on two tacos, well worth the wait and costs. I have had more expensive tacos and been disappointed and still hungry. Not the case here. Support local taco shops! David's Tacos is on my must have list!
This has quickly become our favorite place to eat! We came here three times in a week after discovering it because of how good it is. The chilaquiles are my favorite! The breakfast torta and menudo were also a hit. Literally everything we have tried has been delicious. You will not be disappointed!

Been here a dozen times. Have always had great service and food. Prices are the same as everywhere else, maybe a little cheaper.
Amazing birria tacos and fairly priced. Definitely a new go to!
Great tacos. Recommend getting the Asada and Adobada. Great customer service
I love this place so much, Juan is an amazing, and sweet person and helps everyone out. Whenever I come in which I come in once a week, he’s always busy and is doing such an amazing job, he helps everyone and has such an amazing personality. He seriously is a great person.
Got a breakfast burrito (eggs, potatoes, bacon, and cheese) and a side of beans. It was DELICIOUS. Service was great too, very friendly and kind.

I feel like I should be the Mexican cleaning lady from Family Guy..."No...no..no." if burning food was the way it is supposed to go they would get 5 stars. Its so bad that it must be some type of front for something else.
The place has gone through so many changes and owners. The service is ok but the food is not consistent. Hopefully it will get better.
Nice people, clean establishment. My Burrito had a hole in it so it leaked through the parchment and paper bag. It happens. The wait time of at least 15-20 was definitely unexpected. The cashier was apologetic. The burrito was good but I did microwave it when I got home.

My roll tacos not good they gave birra roll tacos I guess next time i need to ask what kind of meat will they come with By the time a got home they were soggy I gave them to my dog
Expensive small carne asada burrito 15.07 and it sucked I do not recommend.
Beans tasted from a can and dry, avocado sauce was dark and expensive.
We were in the area and decided to give this spot a try. Worst decision ever! Paid $16.50 for carne asada fries when they were on the list of specials of $13.00. Wait time when beyond bad and presentation of the food was even worse. Meat looked black (from the old meat residue on the grill). My bowl was lacking everything.... flavor, ingredients (missing guac), lettuce left water all over my food. Please do better! Also, what's with the Cotijas signage? False advertising.
Worst Mexican food that has ever been here! You want cold over priced food this is the place for you. The service is terrible and the place looks like it was half way through a remodel and they ran out of money. You are better off going over to 7-11 and just getting a frozen burrito... it will be of better quality.
Eddie, the guy who took my order, did not listen after explaining to him three times what I wanted. I ended up getting specifically what I didn't want. And this burrito at any other Mex place would have cost $6 to $8. I paid $11.72 (order numberTS77M53XZKR96 look it up). But how good was the burrito? I gave it to my dog and he wouldn't eat it either.
My latest visit. Sudden extreme price increase while simultaneously lesser quality food. The carne meat cut or marinade is different, the rolled taco mean was gooey and weird to chew on. Two of us spit out the meat from the rolled tacos and tossed the food, which was a waste of money, but it was that inedible. I've given this place many chances, but this will be my last visit.
I bought the most expensive Burrito and the worst burrito that I have ever had. $15.07. It tasted burned carne asada and I threw half away. Never again.
Overpriced and for $16dlls the California burrito was the worst I've ever had, do not recommend.
