Tucked in-between the "hey look at me" restaurants, you might pause, like we did, and question "is this the right place?" The answer is a resounding YES. The food was amazing. Easily the best burrito I've ever had (shrimp). The Elote fries were tremendous, salsas super tasty. If i didn't live 2,500 miles away, this would be a regular stop for me. Don't hesitate. Go. Go now.

We stopped here after a trip to the San Diego Zoo. This was hands down the best food we have eaten. The green salsa? Literally could put a straw in the stuff. It is that good. We will definitely return here again.

This is it!!!!!! Home of the best damn tacos in all of San Diego, CA. There is not a single loser on the menu. They only prepare bomb burritos, tacos, salsas, and more, and all served by the most confident and knowledgeable staff who was friendly and polite!! Wash it all down with your choice of premium ice cold cerveza. It's a marriage made in heaven!!!
