Great mexican food highly
recommen

Every time I eat here it gives me diarrhea! You think I would learn after the two times I've ate here salsas taste funny, low quality carne asada. I'm so done with this place. The price of the food here is ridiculously high for what quality you get.

The food is absolutely amazing, especially their horchata and tacos. Be aware this place is cash only, no exceptions.
The staff is not welcoming or inviting, to where they would put bags of food down on the counter and not announce which order the bag belongs to. But the food is worth it.

I’m not really happy with this place And it didn’t matter if I got the plate or just a burrito that used to burn my chorizo burritos and I can’t stand that So then I used to get a ham egg and cheese burrito so instead of just ham egg and cheese burrito they used to want to put potato in there too and then when I said no potato they look at you like Your weird and they don’t make it easy it’s cash only my friend insisted on eating here again and it took her three different times going back into the restaurant Reminding the lady that she had one more burrito to make she told her three different times ham egg and cheese burrito and they still put potatoes in it a cheap filler and that’s all you could taste was potatoe no more they will never see a penny from me again

Carne asada fries were bomb 💣

Good grief! I have been coming to Borrego for over 30 years and somehow Los Jilbertos escaped my notice. We live in Oceanside, not lacking good Mexican food but wow! Los Jilbertos has the right recipe for very delicious food. My son and I are thunderstruck by the quality. It is clear that care and effort goes into this offering. We did not need more reason to come to Borrego but you have added one. Such good food. Chef’s kiss!

I ordered the torta AL pastor special that comes with fries and drink, I told the lady who was taking my order that I wanted the fries crispy. When I got home with the order the fries where not even crispy they where soggy the torta had no flavor at all didn't taste like al pastor looked more like carne asada with no flavor, it made me sick to my stomach had to toss it away. Just a waste of $$ on a torta.

I just went in to pick up the four shredded beef tacos and two burritos I ordered over the phone.

When I walked in, the cashier said “the chicken tacos?” I said “I ordered shredded beef tacos and two burritos.” She said “oh yeah. They are shredded beef.” (I ordered one plain and the rest not. I confirmed it twice with the person on the phone).

The hard shell chicken tacos had an old tasting tortilla shell, not crunchy like normal and was super soggy. Very disappointed that as regular customers they didn’t verify my order was correct and would serve such poor quality food.

My five year old was very disappointed and they leave on vacation at 2:00pm. We picked up our order at 1:30ish and don’t live close enough to try to fix it. Bummed the young teen didn’t care about satisfying customers.
