“Very well organized to the different section of the yummy foods you want to order😍congrats to the creative minds👏👏👏👏👏“

“We came in on a Tuesday at noon, it’s was pretty busy food came out no later than 30 minutes. Everything was high quality food. Service was good. The only thing I would say is that they need to add napkins on the tables and alcohol wipes.. other than that no problem“

“I stumbled upon this restaurant while watching YouTube travel guides for our upcoming trip to San Diego. We love unique dining experiences, so this seemed like our kind of eatery. The food & service was excellent. The owner checked on every table & takes pride in his restaurant which shows in the quality of the food. The head meat tacos were excellent! We also loved the consomè con carne soup.“

“Everything. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. The drinks were so refreshing. The atmosphere was amazing !“

“‼️Muy Bueno todo y buen precio ‼️“

“Yo recomiendo 💯 Dolche Café Chiquito pero bonito y acogedor lugar. Muy rica la comida, muy buenos precios Y Excellente Servicio. Ahora unos de mis lugares favoritos 🫶🏻“

“I was in the area and wanted something kind of healthy, so I decided to order two tacos — one pescado a la plancha and one camarón a la plancha. I was a little bummed they messed up my order and gave me two pescado instead, but honestly, they were really good! I’m pretty picky when it comes to fish, but it had great flavor and wasn’t fishy at all. The salsas and chips were tasty too!

I also tried their jugo verde — I love green juice, but not everyone makes it how I like it. This place actually makes a really good one!

And staff were great too. Not mad at all but sad. I didn’t got to try the Camaron.“

“El establecimiento esta muy limpio y fresco. La atención al cliente es excelente y te sientes muy consentido con el trato del personal. Super recomendado! la Comida riquísima!“

“I wanted to try this spot but now I am worried if I take my wife and kids to this restaurant they could be assaulted in the bathroom by te owner and the staff will stand and smile. Plus multiple reports of failing food safety, yikes.“

“everything is delicious..✌️🇲🇽🇺🇸“

“Carne asada fries were great I was suprised by the large portion. At first I was suprised with price when I ordered them with guacamole Pico de gallo and sour cream and a soda but to be honest this is enough in one serving for 2 people so its definitely fair price“

“Best birria in San Diego!“

“Our go to spot for authentic delicious Mexican cuisine. Birria tacos and caldos always hit it the spot. Don’t get me started on the Raspados. Stop by give a shout to long time chef Alfredo & the Raspado mixologist Daniel“

“Great first time experience, Uriel and his friends, Gaby, Valeria (I am sorry if I missed out or spelt them incorrectly) were great hosts, helping me out with the order. The service is super fast and also accomdates our requests! The place was super clean and even though we were the last dine in customers they didn't make us hurry or anything. Thanks guys!“

“Muy sabroso y limpio lugar“

“I visited this restaurant for the first time, and right away the customer service made me feel genuinely welcomed. The menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of options, but today I came specifically to try the California burrito, and it absolutely did not disappoint.

The steak was well-seasoned, the fries were perfectly crispy, and the burrito was generously filled with sour cream and guacamole. What I appreciated most was the balance in every bite; unlike many places where each bite tastes different, this burrito delivered a consistent mix of steak, fries, and toppings throughout.

Overall, I would confidently rate the food a 9.5/10.“

“Good food friendly service“

“Haven't had food from this joint since high school back in 2010, and OMG it was delicious. I got a customized csli to my liking and I have not 1 complaint. The meat was so juicy and flavorful. The fried were nice and crunchy and the red salsa was just perfect on spice. So glad its still as good as I remembered. I was this time too...will be visiting again soon:)“

“The best family ran and owned taco shop in the world hands down. I have a family of 5 we come here at least 1 to 2 times a week. Food is always fresh and hot and the prices or unbeatable. Please if there’s anyone that does food reviews in San Diego add El Rinconcito Taco Shop to your to go list! I’ll pay for your meal!

Thanks pops and mom’s for always treating me like family! Love you all and keep up the good work and same great taste💪🏾💯“

“El mejor pollo todo riquísimo me encanta toda su comida y atención los mejores burritos de san diego“

“I tried the house chilaquiles today and I will say as a lover of chilaquiles they were pretty good! They did not skimp out on the sauce which a lot of places do. I hate it when chilaquiles are dry or too crunchy making it feel like I’m eating nachos. These were the perfect amount of soft. I only gave it 4 stars because they are very pricey. I ended up paying $23.87 after tax. The chilaquiles cost $20 and they charged $2 for an extra side of cotija cheese that I asked for. So they are definitely on the expensive side which I was not expecting for the location but all in all, solid spot for quality and flavor tho. If I ever have the money to splurge again, I will come back.“

“This place has been a staple in my family ever since we moved to chula. Never disappoint. I had a really bad experience with service at a restaurant on main. Did not eat. Went to Carnitas las Michoacanas order our food to go. And they gave us free tacos and a soda. Honestly lifted my spirits after the other place. Best Carnitas!! Made with Love, I swear!!“

“Excellent service, yummy food, delicious drinks & and awesome atmosphere!!!“

“Tacos are delicious here. We catered from them for our reception and the guests said wonderful things about their tacos. Very fresh and good quality. The owner is responsive and the workers were friendly as well. I’m so happy that I found them. I’ll definitely cater from them again.“

“enjoyed the meal atmosphere“

“We love everything at Frutas the best Chan go and tortas in town 😍😍😍“

“My family has been coming here for at least 25 years and it has never disappointed us. The carne asada burritos have the best marinade and they have the best rolled taquitos. It's a neighborhood staple and the family that owns it have always been so nice and kind.“

“This is a very nice place. Friendly atmosphere great variety of choices, good service. I've gone twice this week and had a good experience both times. Tried the caldo de Rex and the breakfast mole. I can honestly say one of the best mole flavors I've had! We also had the Diablo shrimp which was also very tasty. The torta with chilaquiles is extremely good! It is a bit pricey here which would be my only complaint. But overall a good place to eat! A must try!“

“Wonderful experience, great customer service all staff are really nice and friendly and provide great service and food as well as great family environment music also there jamaica was great and its free refill normally you don’t get the free refill with natural drinks like that. Great place over all 10/10👍👍“

“You can wash your hands before you eat because there's a sink accessible from the lobby. The portions are enormous for the burritos. Service is friendly with a smile. Pricing is slightly above average but you're definitely getting value for the price, above average portion sizes so the pricing is actually fair.“

“exelente servicio mis mejores deseos saludos prieto“

“Birria Ramon lord the best I’ve had yet and I’ve tried a lot of places 🥰💋“

“I want to give this restaurant a 5 star review but I'm not. There is a young lady that works there and has a horrible attitude/customer service. I've been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and they ate great. The food is delicious. But when she is working her shift she brings my experience down. Today I asked her if I had done something to offend her? Why is she so rude to me? I treat her with kindness and respect and she ALWAYS greets me with discomfort. Like I'm not welcome. She told me she's on her period. My response was that she must ALWAYS be on her period cause she's ALWAYS so rude to me. She didn't like my response and looked at me up and down and gave me a cold long silent stare down. And I expected that coming from her. She had to to he a family member cause she doesn't care about her job. So this msg is also to the owner. Teach her some kindness/customer service because she is giving your business a bad name as a representative.“

“Best menudo and street tacos 🌮 that I ever had … Definitely recommend it! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇧🇷🇮🇹🇧🇷🇮🇹🇧🇷🇺🇸“

“The birria is so good! I’ve tried several places in Imperial Valley, San Diego and Chula Vista and this is the best birria I’ve had. The only bad thing about this place is that they do not have a changing table for babies, so I had to change my baby on the floor.

Parking: There is only two parking spaces. You have to park on the street.“

“Me encantan los tacos y las micheladas“

“Stopped in for some pastries and we were not disappointed!“

“Buenas tardes yo se que estos grupos no son para estas cosas pero quiero compartir esto: Yo soy clienta de la tortilleria elice de playas y la verdad antes tenían buen servicio y te atendían de buen humor y los burritos tenían muy buen sabor ahora la muchacha güera que atiende siempre esta de mal humor haciendo sus caras y la verdad nose quien se encargue de los guisados pero hasta mis hijos me han dicho que ya no son los mismo de antes que no les gusta porque no tienen ni sabor si me gustaría que pusieran atención en su nuevo personal porque si tiene mala la imagen de la señorita que atiende en caja y no es nada rápida siempre esta bien lenta tarda mucho la verdad Nose si sea su primer trabajo o no tenga ganas de trabajar pero si no quiere trabajar hay mucha gente que si lo necesita y tiene muchas ganas de trabajar Sigo llendo ala tortilleria porque la verdad las tortillas están buenas pero el servicio no es el mismo la verdad orita no la recomiendo esa Tortilleria“

“great food but staff is rude AF if u dont speak Spanish“

“Best California Burrito ever !!! Everyone has to taste it !!! Forget about those other places, come and get one and you will be hooked!!!“
