We love Sombreros! They prepare the food fresh right there on the spot, (I can watch from my car while in the drive-thru!) and the flavors are so delicious! Since moving into town, we have frequented Sombreros for breakfast at least 1-2x/week! Great horchata too!! The staff is friendly and generous with the sauces. Open late, Sombreros saved the day (night) when we rolled thru starving after 1 am!! Highly recommended!

Never disappointed when getting food from this Sombreros drive thru. From a single taco to full spread for the family they nail it every time.

High school habit. Special burrito. Just keeps getting more expensive. You can find a cheaper taco shop with good food for a better price.

I haven’t had proper San Diego Mexican food in a year. Visiting town for the holidays I was able to get a taste of the thing I have for so long been dying to have. Thank you sombreros.

Consistently good 'taco shop' food, reasonably priced and great, friendly staff. Always a line, but the drive-thru moves quickly.

The food is certainly a better option for fast food. Much better than national fast food chains. Fresher ingredients and super fast service. The parking lot is the worst, it just is. If you parked in the one of 4 stalls and someone is in the drive thru- you’re stuck. I’m surprised they are allowed to design parking in this fashion- effectively making this place a drive thru only location. My kids loved the food. It’s a bit on the expensive side, with heavy use of fries. But it is generally much better than your traditional burger fast food in quality and nutrition. Just use the drive thru, or bring a few pounds of patience if you plan to park. We ended up backing out, but if it was busy, you’re likely stuck, stuck, stuck.

Cheese not even melted, fries stale. It’s just meat pico de gallo and cold cheese. I didn’t know Californian burritos were blah maybe because of location.

After not going to On the Border for quite some time (too many mistakes and the food was undercooked), our family decided to give it a try again for a to-go order. We ordered 1 shrimp fajita, 1 steak fajita, and 1 carne asada in the restaurant (not by phone). Once again, we were let down by the service, as we received 3 fajitas. This seals the deal and we will NOT be returning and I will tell anyone who asks not to go to this location. It's sad that even though my visits were separated by years, that the service has not improved.

This is the carne asada fries that received . I don't think I've ever looked at anything drier and I have eczema.

I’ve been going here for years I have been spending 400-600$ a month here for a long time and I’m finally done this is second night in a row I get here they serve someone at 250am and let me sit here for ten mins till 3am and say there closed I’ve had hairs and other shit in my food never complain but refuse service when I get off work I’m done…… get workers that will work there whole shift …..

This place is drive through only.I'm not familiar with the restaurant and I had questions about the sizes specifically. So I basically sat in twenty minutes worth of line for nothing. First and last time I come to this spot, complete waste of time for me.

I used to come here almost everyday after late night work I’d get here at 240am 245am and they would serve people in front of me and act like they were closed I showed up at 250am when they aren’t closed till 3am had me wait for ten mins at drive thru and say they were already closed I will never go here again. I would spend 20-40$ a night 5 days a week mabe fire your lazy night workers and get people that will work till close. Mabe you should change google and say you close at 300am cause you don’t close at 330am
