Took them 3 hours to pick up the phone. When I finally got to talk to them u tried to order a family package and they told me they were not able to fulfill my order. Really sick if they are not going to be able to fulfill orders they might as well stop announcing themselves on the internet that way they get just the amount of work they can fulfill

I am from Mexico, and I know what real carnitas should taste like, well this place is as good as the ones from Mexicali in San Diego! Juicy porky goodness, crunchy tasty chicharrones and very good guacamole, rice, and beans. If you don’t like a heavy meal, get the carnitas tacos plate. Two very well served tacos with the works. If you like a good size meal get the Maggi burrito, carnitas and chicharrón, pico salsa and guacamole. And for dessert, order flan.

Very Delicious carnitas and buche..just be prepared to dice/chop your own cilantro, tomatoes and onions.

Been meaning to try this place....so glad I did. Reminds me of the one that used to be south of the border...will be back...Caritas for two was so great...dessert was the carnitas burrito...lol. seriously a must if you like carnitas

Great food, really. Everything is amazing. The only think keeping me from that 5th star is their recipes that seem to be illusive. Sometimes i’ll order multiple of the same item in a week, and it’ll be slightly different each time. Sometimes i get one type of guac and sometimes i’ll get limes instead of lemons, or i’ll get 3x the lettuce than i did the time before. Don’t get me wrong, even with these inconsistencies it’s still delicious, by all means. I highly recommend coming here.

Tonight I got dinner for the family (4) and was amazed the heavy sack of food was only $39. Carnitas fries and nachos were so good and the wet burrito was filled with delicious carnitas. My son loved his rolled tacos but says next time he is ordering the carnitas fries. We have so many leftovers, we could have just ordered the fries and nachos.I love this place but don’t go there enough because it is 1.5 miles away and I have two taco shops between here and there. We will definitely make the trip more often.

We love this place! Food is always fresh and family is very friendly. They never upcharge for customizing my rice rolled tacos. The only suggestion I have is they should use gloves during food prep. Definitely worth trying out as a good taco shop is hard to come by in East County!

I would give this place 0 stars to be honest! I never came to a restaurant and had extremely cold food like not even warm?!!! The carnitas were semi warm and the chicharron was cold like ice cold probably the nastiest thing I've ever ate!!! If you think this place is good you're definitely on one. This place is NASTY!

I just had an adobada burrito that was as close to a transcendent experience as I've had in a long time. This establishment has ton of history behind it, and has moved from it's original location years ago, but damn- they can still cook. Come for the carnitas, stay for everything else.

Food was tasty and fresh.Take out service fast (drive through)
