Moved here from Southern California two years ago, where good taco and burrito shops are plentiful. Loved Bolitos initially, (was told this was a Roberto’s at one time - big in San Diego) ordered maybe 20 times, but in the last year things have gone down hill - service is “meh” and two burritos, 5 rolled tacos, chips and extra guacamole cost $50. Whoa. And then my son said the rolled tacos are actually soggy. Looking for another good taco place won’t be going back to here.

Service was very friendly and the food made to order. I had the barbacoa taco and California Burrito. Both were made fairly quickly. The barbacoa was simple yet tasty. The meat, onion, and cilantro on a flour tortilla blended really well. The California burrito has steak, French fries, pico, and cheese. It is very filling with no single ingredient overpowering the other. There is an assortment of salsas and limes. My wife enjoyed her fish tacos. Overall, a really good shop, reasonably priced, and delicious food. It was empty when we arrived and filled up quickly as we were leaving so it is legit.

After reading all the raving reviews I finally decided to give this place a try. We ordered carne asada tacos, burrito, a chicken plate. Food was blah no flavor and cold. First red flag; pico de gallo on the tacos. The chile rellenos were covered in some gross thick gravy. The tacos were flavorless on cold, dry, hard tortillas. If you've eaten authentic tacos you know the tortilla should be warm, soft and glistening with yummy oil aka flavor. We left hungry and with stomachachePlease do your self a favor and drive to tacos La Bala on Mason rd.

Off to look for a different place after YEARS of coming here ...Food is still tasty except don't order the burritos. They use to be bursting with ingredients. Now it's a small amount and they roll the tortilla in to give it the illusion it's a big filled burrito. Literally see 5 or so layers of tortilla ..I have been a loyal customer since college in San Antonio. We come to this location numerous times. Never once have I had horrible service until now. I'm not sure who made the decision to hire the lady at the window because enough people are complaining about her shady rude attitude.She was rude when we were ordering and when asking for more salsa as if I was bothering her. When we checked our items and told her we were missing a burrito she replied with "yes" and closed the window. She didn't tell us we were missing one ...After a long time of waiting she came back and we asked for our missing burrito and she said that we were wrong. We only ordered two. And when asking which two were in the bag ... Attitude. I told her, it's fine we only have 2, mistakes happen, but you're giving us anger and I just want to know which two are in my bag ...Then we asked for a receipt because we never got one ... Facial displeasure as she goes to a man for assistance. We notice price on receipt does not match the menu on drive thru. But that isn't as big a deal because we understand prices for everything has gone up and we love this place.But that girl has got to go. This will only ruin their name and all the hard work that's been built. Bring the nice ladies back that have the nicest smiles and manners.

Felt so rushed. Server was very rude as if she really didn't wanted to take our order. The menu mentioned taco tuesday deal but she refused to let me order it. Taste was below average too.

Very rude person working at the drive thru window been going here for years. She can't speak English or acts like she can't understand. Now I would get rid of her immediately. Also the burritos use to be big but know they have gotten way smaller and gone up in price. Its a shame but I have seen it over and over a restaurant goes down hill fast.

I'll add photos later. Been here a couple of times for some fuel during long rides. Several salsas to choose from. #5 parts is my go to. Corn tortillas. Friendly service. When they were only drive thru during covid they would come out to us and take our orders while we were on bikes. Great team.

Just tried to call here and order a burrito over the phone and they screwed up the order soo many times it was ridiculous. First person could not speak English well enough to properly understand my order so they pass the phone to another person who also could not properly understand everything I was saying. So they just hung up on my face and I tried calling back to order my burrito and they disconnected the phone or are screening my call. All I was trying to do was order a burrito and I’ve been going here for years. Now they’ve lost a customer permanently. I manage retail locations and have nothing against bilingual speakers but To the management, don’t have people answering your phones taking orders if they’re not fully comfortable in English and Spanish. It will create a bad customer experience such as this.

This place is hit or miss. Never consistent. Some days the food is overly salty and other days it's superb. I haven't been back in a few months until this morning.Please pay attention to your receipt. The lady today overcharged me. When I came home my wife saw my receipt. She indicated they charged you almost $6 for a lengua taco that normally is under $3. In all fairness, I didn't pay attention to the price menu, so they may have raised it.Plus, asking for a tip in drive thru, is in poor taste. Either pay your employees more or raise the prices. Don't raise prices and also ask for a tip. Again, this was a drive thru order.I feel so cheated now. Worse part is the tacos were still too salty. Horrible start to a Sunday morning.Hopefully, this will save others from wasting their money or at the very least pay attention to your receipt.

Take out only. I'm from Los Angeles CA. I wanted to try the food because it's supposed to be cali-Mex. I did not like the carne asada fries. Beans and rice tasted from can the Chile relleno and enchilada we're pretty good.
