The staff is always great. The owner continues to wear many hats but still gives you service with a smile. The servings have always left me satisfied. The place is really clean and the atmosphere is really nice. The flavors are spot on.

One of the best flavors for taco shops in town. Food quality is amazing and the hot sauce selection is incredible. Only giving 4 stars because the cost of items don’t match the portions. I never see this place very busy and I’m sure that attributes to what I’m seeing. Still a great place to go and the owner is extremely nice. I have never seen him take a day off.

It’s OK, customer service was great everything else had issues. There are better options nearby.
Food:
Birria quesodilla was sloppy. Granted its Birria and supposed to be but it was just a soggy mess and could not be eaten with out a fork. Flavor was mostly salt.
Bean and cheese burrito had almost no flavor and I often judge a taco shop on the mastery of the basics.
Salsa game had a lot of choices but most were pretty weak on flavor and heat.
Service:
1 older guy amd he was handling 7 people at the same time. Doing cooking, counter, and service. Hats off to that guy.
Atmosphere:
Mostly bright red and white paint to give the illusion of personality. Honestly the original style had way more personality. This feels like if McDonald’s did a taco shop.
Additional:
Patio dinning available but tons of homeless outside make that less than desirable.
They are super easy to access and lots of parking are a definite plus.
The open doors contribute to a mass of flies that just stay in the shop, that’s gross.
Final review:
I would prefer not to eat here. Maybe take out if a friend really liked that spot, but would not be my first through fifth choice.

I grabbed two Carne Asada tacos, not the street size but the regular size and they came with salsa fresca, guacamole, and two tortillas. It was fresh off the grill hot and tasty! About $5 taco but worth the price because the size!! The restaurant is very pleasing to the eye. It is extremely clean and feels very upscale compared to your typical taco shop! I will definitely try the carne asada fries next time!

Good taco shop with friendly staff who take the time to prep food that’s worth it, tasty, and healthy. There aren’t many value meals to match their rolled tacos, which come with lots of ensalada, real guacamole, and cheese. My boys and I are set with an order and a half-liter bottle of Coke unless we are really hungry. We are fans of their burritos, birria tacos, and salsas too.

The place is very clean and the food is tasty. It is one of the best Mexican restaurants that I’ve ever been in El Cajon. We ate Tacos de cabeza and Carne Asada fries and we really recommended. The tacos are served with real Mexican corn tortillas (Tijuana style) and they have a salsa bar. Furthermore, customer service is very good!

Staff is great, food is mid at best. Birria was decent, birria was okay, and the Baja was the worst shrimp taco I ever had. Tasted like the boiled the shrimp, then covered half the taco in lettuce. Wouldnt go back

Overcharged us 50$ for 6 street tacos and 2 Birra quesadillas. And was talking shit in Spanish thinning I didn’t understand. And the food was not that good for 50$ much better places for the price range
