I used to love and support this place because back a few years ago when they opened, all was good food and very good portions. But now, they are becoming a bit too stingy with their food portions, and they started charging 50 cents for extra salsa. I can afford paying extra 50 cents but come on, why charge for extra salsa? The bowl is a lot smaller now. The beans are just spread around, instead of leaving it on the side of the bowl. Got only 2 spinach leaves and just a tiny portion of extra veggies. The service wasn't as friendly as it was before. It is kind of like going to suat mit, pay and leave atmosphere kind of service. It's sad

The food here is absolutely amazing—they’ve got a little bit of everything, and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. I’ve been working in Escondido for the past couple of weeks, and I have to give a big shoutout to Maria. She’s been incredibly welcoming, helpful, and always provides outstanding service. Her professionalism and great attitude have truly made my time here even better. Highly recommend!

Large portions!! They are very generous with proteins, toppings, and sauces. Elote was delicious.
I ordered the Elote Bowl with Carne Asada. My partner ordered the Elote Quesadilla with Adobada. That was the thickest quesadilla I’ve ever seen and my bowl was fully loaded.
The dining room had some cool art work. Folding table and chairs. Good for the food trucks I saw they have out back on the weekends. A little cold so dress warm during this time of year!
We found a game of Candy Land on the shelf so we enjoyed playing a few rounds of that while eating - it was a good time! We might come hang out with a game of our own next time!

Legitimately one of the best burritos in Southern California. This place has incredibly fresh and tasty ingredients, and they'll build your custom burrito right in front of you. 🌯
Yes, it's huge but it's also DELICIOUS 😋

I tried the salad here and was pretty impressed. Partly my fault being a first time here. I added guacamole when they offered but they added so much that it was basically a small bowl of lettuce and spinach with a ton of guac. The tofu was just plain so didn't really add any flavor. Service was friendly and didn't take very long. But ambiance was just a bunch of folding tables. Though there was some art on the walks. Would like to try again with some actual elote.
Vegetarian options: They had tofu as a protein option.

This restaurant is spacious, colorful, and has 2 tvs. I dont remember if they serve beer, but they have glass bottle beverages and agua Fresca. It's a fun twist on a taqueria... we don't have anything similar to this where we live. The esquite cups are delicious, and you can taste that the corn has been roasted. In our pictures, the plate on the left is a baked potato (which was my favorite) and on the right was the fries. The plate by itself is a bowl, although there are options to add veggies which I really liked.

This was the best Mexican food I’ve had in months. I made my own bowl with corn as my base with butter and sour cream, carne asada, grilled veggies, spinach, and avocado on top. So good!
