I had a very good breakfast burrito called the "Crunch Breakfast Chipotle," with crunchy tortilla strips, scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and a mild yet tasty chipotle cream sauce for about $8 after tax. It's a well priced burrito.

The burrito was really good and was of a good size. I especially liked that the tortilla strips were crunchy throughout the burrito. The scrambled eggs were plentiful and well scrambled, the bacon was good, and the burrito came with a really good amount. The burrito was great eating with the red and avocado salsa. Oh yes, they mix the chipotle cream with the scrambled eggs. If you don't like that, I was asked for it on the side.

The lady at the counter was nice. The salsa bar was well stocked, and everything was really good there. There's plenty of parking and inside seating at this location.

Walked up to the front counter was ready to order nobody was at the front counter when they finally came up they walked up said hello me but then the phone rang. She proceeded to answer the phone totally ignoring me and taking the order on the phone after I've been waiting there to order basically I turn around and walked out without ordering.

Never had Carne Asada fries that had refried beans and pico de gallo on it instead of guac. Man, my life is changed. It was delicious and incredibly filling- I'll definitely be coming back to this spot

One of my favorite places in San Diego.

Look, it's not pretty.

Walking in, you'll think you'll get sick eating here, but the food has always tasted good, and reminds me of ol' style comidia Mexicana, Latino food.

The kind of food I grew up on.

And, they leave the sauces out.

You can walk up and do self serve, like other places used to do.

And you can use the bathroom here too.

I have never had a bad experience here, though I wish they would take out that TV in the dining room or shut it off when I'm eating.

Otherwise, I think the place is good.

I can recommend it.

Definitley recommend! I had a very welcoming interaction with the cashier and my food was cooked very quickly considering it was a little packed. I greatly appreciated the food as it tasted very good as well.

California burrito is huge and delicious with lime and salsa verde. Also very affordable prices

Delicious food, friendly staff, quick service – what more could you ask for? With the food cooking in the back, it smelled great in there too ? I always get the campachana fries. Not sure if that is spelled correctly, but it is great every time. They have a free salsa bar too ? The seating, other than the regular hardwood chairs, are super comfy.

Parking: It's located in a shopping center.

Kid-friendliness: Not many people there the times I go there - around after the busy lunch-hour.

Wheelchair accessibility: Someone literally rolled in on one.

The cali burritos were very bad, the first time I went we ordered two carne asada fries and they didn't add pico de gallo and they didn't add avocado? It's super strange if the carne asada fries go with guacamole, anyway we had to go back to get what he needed and since he's a grown man it's understandable, but a month later we went shopping again and in the same way the burrito didn't come with it. No cheese, no cream, I don't know why they don't hire someone else or be more careful, we wanted to give it a second chance but the truth is with that bad service I will never return, I hope the owner of this place looks at my review I don't know how they say it's delicious It's obvious that they have never eaten real Mexican food, pure gringo, that's why they do what they want with the food.
