Talk about loaded fries, and nachos without asking for them! I've been that speechless after having three great experiences there they really do your meal! Will definitely be coming back! Their California burritos don't come with sour cream and guac, however, it's the best California burrito I've ever had. I hope y'all bother coming over here because it's freaking delicious. the salsa is spicyyyyyy! Yalll I can't stop bragging!! The supper nachos ARE AMAZING!!!!!

The girl who takes your order does it without writing anything down! And everything is always spot on. Food is great, the portions big. Carne asada burrito can be shared by two people easily. Best bang for your buck. The place is small but has been in El Cajon for years. It sits back from the street but is very notable with the yellow and red strips. Def a must if you are in the area.

I have been coming here on/off for years. I stopped for a little while because my burritos just weren't good anymore. A week ago I went back on my way home after a late night gig since nothing else was open. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and a few rolled tacos. To my surprise the burrito and rolled tacos were EXCELLENT! Maybe there's a new chef or owner or both?? Tonight I went back for a burrito, this time I got a surf & turf burrito, in hopes it would be the same quality as my last experience. This surf and turf is SOOOO GOOD. It's piping hot, filled with a lot of protein, it's a huge burrito.. you're definitely getting your moneys worth. The red hot sauce is my favorite, be careful because it's spiiiicy! Will continue coming back as long as this quality stays this way. Thank you!!
