Best California burrito in the area! The burrito is hefty so beware lol also, the customer service is great! The guy at the drive thru really made our experience great. Definitely will be back!!! It was so damn good, forgot to take the pic! UPDATE** Took my boyfriend here and we shared the Cali burrito. We asked for it cut in half and they even separated then in different wrappers! Never seen that before, so sweet of them! He loved it!! Now I got them pics! All this plus a large sprite for 20 bucks! Can’t beat that! Thanks to the guy at the drive through again, he rocks!!!

Found this in a random Google maps search for Mexican food. The could as the most authentic I've had outside of my extensive travels in Mexico. The only thing rivaling the entree's are the baked goods... And incredible variety and they move out the door at a rapid pace.

The absolute BEST Chile Verde I've EVER HAD! Hands down, no questions asked this is that hole in the wall Mexican joint your friends always talk about. Ordered 1 & demolished it, ordered another to go & had to hit it again on the way back home. That good!!!

Succulent and sweet adobada tacos plus the BEST and most ridiculously delicious carne asada over perfectly seasoned fries. Heaven!

Yesterday, I had chiliquiles and it was absolutely delicious. It was new added to the menu and $13, which was well worth it because I had leftovers for lunch. The customer service is great. I was aware that I ordered something that makes some time to prepare....it's actually my pet peeve when people try to rush out an order and something, usually potatoes, are undercooked. The staff was amazing and was checking in with us every minute or two, asking if we wanted extra napkins or what type of salsa. My daughter has a potato breakfast burrito and she was impressed, as well. It was huge. She took her leftovers home, as well.

A great local spot for some Mexican cuisine. A large selection to order. The staff is very friendly and helpful on my selection. Ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hefty. Most importantly it is at a great price. The spot is big enough for a large party. Definitely bring your friends and family to enjoy their cuisine.

I love Diegos. Really quick and authentic. The burritos are fantastic. Carne asada is a must here.

I think the food here is awesome. Consistently one of my favorite carne asada tacos. I love the salsa verde. This is the style of Mexican food I grew up on. Love it! My only real complaint is I wish the fries were fresher and the oil wasn't so dark... but if you stick to the tacos and torts here, it's amazing. Not the place I would order a California burrito though.

First time trying this place and ordered the chile verde burrito. I'm not sure if they always make it this salty but I couldn't eat more than half of it. Tasted like somebody spilled a salt container in... 🥴

I've been coming here for 30 plus years. I'm sure ownership has changed over the years but it's always been great food! Have one suggestion though to Diego's... When I got your nachos tonight it came with a huge pile of meat a huge pile of beans some guacamole sour cream and a tiny bit of cheese sprinkled on top... NACHOS are chips with cheese and meat and stuff on top. If I were home I just pour some cheese on the bottom layers of chips and then they be fantastic but I'm not home and I'm bummed! Just add some cheese guys!

The employees here are so nice, but the food is way too spicy. My wife is Mexican (born and raised in México) and likes spice, but we both agreed the food was too spicy without flavor. We were so disappointed. I don't understand how both of our meals literally had no flavor.

Rem Henshaw

Food tasted great, but a fish tacos combo for 16.75??? And the beans and rice were literally the smallest serving I've ever had anywhere (a child's size). Definitely pay in cash like they ask to help keep their prices down. Most likely won't be going here again in the future, I don't think it's worth the money.

We stopped in for breakfast burritos. Both my wife’s chorizo and my sausage/bacon were only 2 stars. The meats were so dry and over cooked it wasn’t worth the effort.

Got sausage breakfast burrito...added potatoes because i was looking for a more full type of feeling. Unfortunately the potatoes were relied from the night before they were burnt and dry French fries.. I'm ok with fries being the potatoes but not these. Left butter after taste. I'm sure they do good for but was disappointed with this experience ... should of just ordered breakfast like biscuits and gravy at Start Fresh Cafe next door..Sorry Diego's, I'll try lunch next time

Bought 3 tacos today. Probably the worst tacos I've ever had. The meat tasted funny. Not enough meat compared to the taco shell. No, flavor whatsoever.

Cooks did a shitty job . Walked to the location because I live down the street and I had to come back because they gave me the wrong order . The meat was hard and seemed old . No flavor in the food , and it got us sick on top of that . Do better because those prices are way too high for the shitty quality food you guys are giving out .
