This place has an actual legit California Burrito, and the rest of the menu also appears legit. I'm from San Diego, and this place would do just fine there :)
excellent menudo indeed don’t understand the low rating, should be rated 4.8 minimum
Got a chorizo burrito. Very flavorful. Red salsa took it up a notch!
Portion size could be bigger for the price but it’s enough for a single person so can’t complain much in this economy.
