I always considered Burros and fries the cleanest taco shop there is here since they opened in national city. But i have to say the food and service just doesn’t taste the same this year. The food and service is better at the Imperial Ave location , attentive delicious, and professional. The burritos don’t taste and look the same as before. I paid for a couple Cali burritos I got them skimpy ,lopsided in the bag , and worst thing is they had no meat they barely had any meat in it! Tenían muchísima crema and they were soggy! Also your afternoon cashiers are young and should be taught how to greet customers. When you first opened up shop years ago you had some tall bald guy who worked in the afternoons cashiering and let me just say he made the atmosphere cool and welcoming! I actually thought he was the owner because of how etiquette he was at delivering customer service 👏🏼

I order chilaquiles Verdes before and there were good but that was I order today they horrible

Finally a good place that offers yummy salsas and just for that I will return. The chicken rolled tacos were tasty. They have a large menu- a lot to choose from and everything sounds good. Will recommend to anyone looking to try something new!

California Burrito Ranking: Stop #19
On the hunt to find San Diego’s best California burrito!

Today’s tasting took me to Burros & Fries in National City. This is the 19th spot on my burrito journey.

The Burrito:
They whipped it up fast and served it piping hot. This thing was massive and loaded — lots of beef and a good mix of fillings. They also offer a chicken version, but I went classic with beef. The tortilla, sauce, fries, tomatoes, and cheese were all solid on their own, but somehow the flavors didn’t quite come together as a team. If the meat had been a bit warmer or freshly grilled, I think it would’ve hit better.
Bonus points for the sauces. They looked super watery, but wow — bold and flavorful.
Price was $13, which is about average around town, maybe slightly on the high side.
Burrito rating: 7 out of 10

Service:
Polite and attentive, though nothing over the top.
4 out of 10

Atmosphere:
They’re clearly making an effort to keep the dining area clean, but my table had glass ring marks and wobbled every time I moved. Old movies played on the TV, music in the background, but overall the vibe felt pretty basic.
Shoutout to the random kid with fries on the wall though — made me smile.

We’re regulars here and usually love the food and service—it’s typically a great experience. I rarely drink soda and usually just get water, but at 9:50 pm on Tuesday, I decided to have a small sip of soda in my water cup. Instead of a polite reminder, the person at the front counter responded with a condescending tone, explaining the difference between a water cup and a soda cup. If it was such a problem, I would have gladly paid for that small sip of soda. A respectful request would have sufficed, but her approach felt unnecessarily belittling. This experience has made me less enthusiastic about coming here, and I’m now considering trying a different franchise or burro shop altogether.

Not only was the food super delicious but Amy was a great host. As my first time here she recommended me several options and although my order was a bit complicated she, gave me the best option to my likening. Atmosphere was clean and comfortable. Music was perfect during my stay. Highly recommended and definitely coming back
