I had a Combo #4 Beef Taco, Cheese Enchilada, Bean Tostada and Rice. It was all packed into one box, the Bean Tostada was placed on top of top of the Cheese Enchilada. In addition, the Beef Taco was overlapping it. IT SHOULD HAVE COME IN TWO BOXES!!! Further, the food was a little greasy. I found it hard to eat, and really only ate the taco!!!

Delicious food. Great salsa bar. Good portions. Well worth every cent. Don’t let the mess of my food discourage you. I got the chile verde burrito and they threw more chile verde on top as well as inside. Sooo good. All for less than $10
I love the customer service, I hope they pay and love their employees very much because they are part of the good things about the restaurant, very delicious, everything, everything, with pleasure, I recommend it and I will return with great pleasure.

The staff was friendly and the food was good. I got the carnitas burrito it was a good size and very flavorful.
As always, amazing food. Portions will not disappoint, flavor is incredible . Dine-in salsa bar is top shelf and very fresh. Awesome tacos, huge burritos, and the best surf n turf in town. You will be welcomed with smiles and fast service almost guaranteed. Employees are very familiar with their menu and never messed any of my orders that I can remember. One major downside to the broadway location is the rift raft that use the facilities as a local hang out. There has been several times I have brought my family in the evenings where beyond-questionable activity was going on in the parking lot and right outside the door. It is unfortunate that they let the local homeless loiter in and out of the dining area. It makes me reluctant to bring the family. The most exciting attraction for me recently was the taco Tuesday specials, including beer on Draft! I was disappointed to find out that they discontinued the draft specials for taco Tuesday. Even more recently, the menu has removed taco Tuesday altogether. I hope they decide to bring it back. Although I've listed so much negative in this review, the portions, service, and flavor of this place will keep me coming back .

Stingy place. Don’t come here. Almost 9.00 for a bean tostada. I live in Point Loma and the price there is almost 3 dollars less. I went in w my husband and asked for water cups. They have us one. And one spoon for 2 people. You also have to pay for extra salsa. To the owner. Being stingy makes people to not want to come here. Especially when we have allot of taco shops to choose from in SD!

I have been coming here for YEARS....I used to specifically come every Tuesday for the .99 cent fish tacos. I moved far away and happened to be in the neighborhood and was literally SHOCKED when the lady said $48... Looking at the bill I ordered my 4 year old a cheese quesadilla for $9.25, I got myself rolled tacos which were less than a cheese quesadilla at $9.19... for my 2 year old I asked for a side of plain fries for $6.99, side of beans for $4.29 and a side of rice for $4.29....so basically it cost me $16 to feed my 2 year old a couple of sides....This should have cost me $30-$35 max! This place is located in the arm pit of El Cajon, and they are charging La Jolla prices...I am down to pay money for good things but just HATE being clearly ripped off. Bye bye Ponchos!

I ordered a California burrito. It has to be one of the worst Cali burritos I have ever had. The fries are not your typical french fry, more like undercooked potatoes. Soggy, soaked in too much grease and too large for my liking. It is really hard to mess up a Cali burrito with all those awesome ingredients. The problem here I couldn’t taste any sour cream, barely tasted guacamole. I think the large soggy potatoes may have absorbed those ingredients. Never again.

The TJ tacos and the mechaladas were on point! The meat quality and flavor was perfectly prepared.We also got a giant plate of onions and chiles with sea salt and lime that amazing.The best part of the meal was the service. Couldn't have asked for better staff.
Lots of delicious food ????
