Excellent Mexican food, but portions are hit or miss .... depends on who's working that day, you might get a HUGE burrito, or a tiny one ....same price .... cross your fingers. Their side-dishes are ridiculously over-priced --$5 for a tiny cup of rice with literally like .10¢ of rice in it? At least their burritos are usually really good!

Price gouging much? $29 for 2 food items and a bottle of coke? Ordered a bean and cheese burrito. It was a $3.99 special and they Tried to get me for $8.50+ (+ sour! cream $2.69!) I guess you have to tell them you want the special even though they have a sign saying it's a special. Dude got rude when I questioned him about it. Also charge $2.69 for a half handful of extra cheese. Rediculous! USED to be my favorite place....

24 hours. Fast service. Drive thru. Prices fair but not the cheapest. Food is standard San Diego taco shop fare.

This drive through spot in El Cajon is our hands down favorite spot for breakfast burritos (my rec is the ham one) and machaca con huevos burritos. We grabbed one for the road so that we didn't have to stop for mediocre fast food on the 5 and even at car temp it was still ridiculously good.

Standard drive thru Mexican, but with a twist: The most overpriced bean and cheese burrito ever! $8.38 despite signage stating $3.99. I was told at the window the $3.99 is for a special. If anything, I'd expect the $8.38 burrito to be the special one.I was stunned, but purchased the item anyways; I wanted to dig out the small pieces of gold/whatever other items made it so expensive. Turns out, like every other establishment that charges ~$4, their burrito was only filled with refried beans and cheese.I know this is just one experience, but that kind of mislead just leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Do not recommend.

After going here for 11+years, they have raised their prices so high that its unreasonable and the food quality/service is getting worse over the last year. I'm truly disappointed as this has been my go to place for so long and now I'm having to go somewhere else.

One of the best taco shops in the city. Great food cooked to perfection. :)

Super disappointed with my meal. My adobada torta was burnt, the meat tasted like ashes. I ordered 4 tacos and only received two of them, and the lady taking my order was extremely rude.I used to enjoy this place and now they will never be stealing my money again. I began to think it the most decent place in El Cajon, now I need to keep digging.10/10 DO NOT recommend this place.

Great food!! Just wish they had indoor dining.

Bought 3 breakfest burritos asked for no sour cream on one, and lady messed up my order called back so she could make it right, lady told me it it was my problem that's how they come, to call on Monday before 10 am and tell the owner about my problem, what a nasty attitude from this so called lady on Sunday morning no customer service at all also asked me what kind is sauce I wanted asked for red and she gave me green.
