“Fast and friendly service. Cold AC in dining area. Fresh salsa bar. Burrito size was very generous; fajita burrito with steak had a lot of flavor in it as is, no need for added salsa. They also have a drive thru if you don't have time to sit inside and eat. Highly recommend.“

“Super buenos los tacos, los de Carnitas son los mejores 🫶🏻“

“Every time I pull up to La Birria Red Tacos, it’s like coming home. The Arellano family is the real deal—hardworking, welcoming, and they always treat me like I’m part of the familia. They even know my order by heart!

Let’s talk tacos: their birria is next-level 🔥—juicy, flavorful, and always loaded with cebollita morada, fresh cilantro, salsa and that perfect touch of lemon and crisp radish rueditas on the side. It’s not just food, it’s an experience carnal!

Don’t sleep on the aguas frescas either—they’re always ice-cold and refreshing. But me? I’m old school... I always go for my trusty Cocon (nothing beats that glass bottle Mexican Coke).

Keep it up, familia—you’re doing more than just feeding the community. You’re bringing people together, one taco at a time.“

“We ordered to-go from this little Mexican spot and were really impressed. The staff was incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed—plates, napkins, and plenty of salsa. The flautas were noticeably larger than usual and packed with flavor. The salsa was a nice surprise: chunky and blended just right—not too watery. Great service and Good food!“

“Great customer service from Roberto!! Great menu and very delicious. Atmosphere was perfect, decorated nicely.“

“(Translated by Google) It is a spacious and very clean place, and on each of the tables there is a bottle of disinfectant gel, the waitress wears a face mask, if there is a healthy distance, the cashier is very attentive, you can tell when an employee makes a difference, a delicious flavor of the sauces.(Original)Es un local amplio y muy limpio, y en cada una de las mesas existe una botella de gel desinfectante, la mesera usa cubrebocas, si existe la sana distancia, la cajera muy atenta, se nota cuando un empleado hace la diferencia, un riquísimo sabor de las salsas.“

“We stopped by Junior’s Café on our way back to Arizona from San Diego, and it was such a great find! There were 13 of us in our group, and they welcomed us without hesitation. The staff was incredibly friendly, the service was quick, and the food was amazing! Everyone loved their meals—portions were huge and everything was fresh and delicious. Definitely worth the stop. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent Service and Great Food“

“Great service, staff very friendly & clean. Food is good.“

“We loved the tacos de guisado. I wasn’t familiar with the guisado style but it’s apparently different kinds of fillings on a bigger tortilla (we chose flour and it was a really good choice, they seemed homemade and fresh). My son loved the birria (even with the goat in it) and the pork with cacti. My daughter loved the machaca and the bean and cheese.“

“I ordered a bag of Doritos with cheese and jalapeños as well as a shrimp/clam cucumber and Clamato drink. This flavor-packed duo is an explosion of bold, unexpected deliciousness. The Doritos with melted cheese and jalapeños are the ultimate spicy, crunchy snack — rich, fiery, and totally addictive. But the real surprise is the shrimp and clam cucumber drink, which somehow manages to be savory, refreshing, and wildly satisfying all at once. The coolness of the cucumber perfectly balances the briny seafood kick, making each sip feel like a beachy, gourmet adventure. Together, this combo is weird in the best way — and absolutely unforgettable.“

“I love it! my favorite is the chicken avocado taco salad. I got my sister hooked now 😊“

“We came here for the dog friendly patio and were completely impressed with everything. Victoria was an excellent server, the food was amazing and they even made a special photo op for a birthday we were celebrating. We will definitely we back!“

“Hi. You Can Pick- up Your Brown Bag Cookies at Johnny's in El Centro! Thank you ! Have you had your Cookies Today?“

“Exactly what you expect from a del Taco. Quick service and consistent food. Not remarkable, but better than other franchise brands.Be realistic. You don't go to Del Taco for table service and upscale dining. We all go for an inexpensive bag of passable food to fill bellies on a budget, quickly.Expect that and you won't be disappointed.“

“Excellent Service and Great Food“

“Made a mistake ordering. I live in El Centro, work in Calexico, but I accidentally ordered my lunch to El Centro location. Thankfully I was able to call and explain the situation with a family member being able to pick it up. Appreciate the accommodation! Food tastes good of course.“
