I came here on a Saturday night close to 11p.m. My sister, cousin and me and my daughter were the only ones there at the time so service was pretty fast. I ordered the enchilada and taco combo with rice and beans. It was soooo good!! I tore that plate up! My toddler had the chicken nuggets and fries. Her fries were also delicious! The girl at the counter was also super friendly and sweet. I think I found my favorite taco shop in Clairemont! I definitely recommend to others and will be back for sure!

I went through the drive-thru, the speaker was loud and clear. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon. The tortilla had nice coloring, & the bacon eggs and potatoes inside were out of sight. They have a good hot sauce selection. My personal favorite was a spicy green, and the red. They also have fantastic pico de gallo!! Super fresh. The service at the window was very friendly. The price of burritos is always going up, so I would say this place cost just slightly higher than others. But you definitely get your money's worth! Quality, size, and flavor. Definitely my new breakfast spot near work.

Excellent breakfast burrito with bacon (subbed for chorizo), potatoes, eggs, cheese and pico. Great salsa selection. Vallarta has the best breakfast burrito I have had in San Diego but this is a close second, losing out on a bit of size (still PLENTY large!) and worse beans. It was well hashed and mixed. Connoisseurs should be pleased!

It was super early in the AM and every restaurant was closed except this place. The food was amazing, get the Carnitas plate and try the fresh salsas at the bar.

Always such good carne asada fries! The avocado salsa is to die for! They have such a good salsa bar with 4-5 varieties of salsa

Bit late on this review but a few weeks ago me and my family found this place looking for authentic mexican food that would be too far of the highway.. we hit a jackpot here! it was a completely empty as it was 10pm but luckily the service was incredible from start to finish. the nice lady at the register gave us great recommendations and opened up the chile/salsa bar for us without us asking. the 'mini tacos' are huge and a great price, tasty meat, what more could you ask for? not to mention the gigantic mountain of hot cheeto carne asada fries. we were so happy to find this place after a four hour flight and right before a 6 hour drive home. we were laughing and just having a heck of a time, i'm sure the staff and a few customers thought were on something but we were all just very satisfied with the food. sadly the lady who helped us said there's none of these restaurants in northern california but if there were i know it would be a hit. if i'm ever down south i'll easily go out my way to try this again!

Conveniently located close to Convoy. I like their 5 rolled tacos, carne asada fries and new item the San Felipe fries. The workers are always nice to chat with. Quick service quality food. The San Felipe fries has shrimp. They're open 24 hrs which I like also. Mel M Yelp 23:2
