I've had their birria tacos before and they were good so, today after a long day I ordered their regular carne asada tacos and one chicken asada taco and they were TERRIBLE. Save your money and order something else from their menu, like their birria. I ended up getting birria tacos instead. The service was not the greatest, a little attitude and not customer friendly. I hope they do better in their new location. read more

I believe they have new management team and food is way better than before. The prices are pretty inexpensive, I got Asada Burrito with extra meat with tax and tip total up $19.19. Got this to go and it's about a 30 minutes walk back home and it was still warm. Yes, I can get a burrito from Chipotle but it's not close by me and ordering delivery would be double of what I paid here. The burrito was hefty, I could only finish half and saved the rest for next day for lunch. The meat were juicy, not dry and full of flavors. Comes with rice, beans and pico de gallo. I get a bag of cheese from Ralphs to do the modification of having a crispy cheese crust and that made the burrito into a 9.2 out of 10. (see pic) Overall, I'm glad this place isn't cash only anymore and the food is much better than before. Definately coming back when I'm craving a burrito or carne asada fries. (Yes, I know there are way better ones in Buena Park and Santa Ana but I don't live near there nor want to be stuck in traffic again) This place will do for now. read more

The breakfast burrito changed my life!!! Spotted in on the way down from LA to San Diego and my boyfriend and I decided to split the breakfast burrito which ended up being the best decision because they are massive! The burrito is loaded with perfectly scrambled eggs, potatoes, cheese and bacon. The salsa are so fresh and tasty. Definitely definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

This place is amazing. It's the second owners, the son and dad used to work at La Siesta. It's so delicious and so pricewise friendly. I love the steak torta. Their french fries are good if you have the kids that are finicky eaters please write a review after you come here. read more

Completely new !!! Under new ownership It's the dude from La Siesta!!! Food is almost exactly the same if not better and a couple new options. Soo tasty birria is off the hook. read more

Since they open, I have never been here because of the bad reviews. I reviews. I heard they changed new owners so I decided to come, and I tried their fillet and OMG it was a crispiest fillet i have tried. I'm so glad I came here with my family. Also, we met the owner. He is super nice and great customer service. My husband order tacos de Asada and Pastor and both were super juicy and yummy. Also, the atmosphere is super nice and calm. Very clean too. Agua fresca de jamica is my favorite. We for sure will be coming often. read more

They were extremely friendly here. The breakfast burrito is huge, delicious, and very filling! Their salsa is tasty, the prices are fair for the portions that you get. Food was made to order quickly, the crispy tacos were good, the regular tacos are stuffed with meat. Clean and will run store, open early and late. Great option for an affordable meal in the area! read more

This will be the last time I come to this Adolphus Mexican Food restaurant because the new management don't know what they're doing when you asked for two chicken tacos you're supposed to ask do you want hard shell or soft shell? They just took my order and charge me $10 the previous management these chicken hardshell tacos were really good but look at this mess. You can't even tell it a taco and I hate our avocado didn't even ask if I wanted it.. I'm never coming back here again. I go to the one off Al Road and Lake Forest. That's where the original crew went. That's where the good food is and that's the place that I highly recommend. You guys try out. . read more

I wish the new owners the best but I won't be returning. They really should change the name of the place to not confuse and lure in uninformed locals. Waited over 30minutes for rolled tacos & a quesadilla takeout. I get it a large group was in before me but then as I watched others who ordered after me get their orders and all the friendliness of extras thrown in I had high hopes my meal would be worth it. It was not.. $9 Quesadilla was undercooked and oddly doughy, and taquitos were soggy by the time I got home (literally 3 blocks away). Seriously. I wished I would have just gone to Pedro's. read more

Fresh and delicious! The fajitas were amazing and the bean and cheese burrito was pretty good as well. The salsas were on point, the red(habanero) being a favorite. The staff was very friendly. read more

Whole new ball game... The new owners have changed everything... If your local you will recognize them from La Siesta... This place went from the worst in San Clemente to one of the better .,, they probably should change the name as I've never found any Adolfo's to be worthy..,, another no BS review from J Bossco read more

Excellent service and food! Huge portions, lots of choices. Adolfo's is our new favorite!

Adolfo's has NEW OWNERS and OMG their food is AMAZING!! I expected it to be incredible because the new owners are none other than our local favorites, Tommy & Elle Luna!!! You may know Tommy from his days at La Siesta or his famous taco cart at Los Molinos Beer Co! Either way you need to get down here and try it!!! read more

I have been here three times in the last week, and they keep nailing it! Great food, friendly service. Looking forward to checking out their new spot on Del Mar read more

Been coming here forever, new owners food sucks, they changed the salsas to crap, taquitos used to come with guac now none, just chopped up mess, used to have great all chicken burrito with fresh chicken spicy now they put beans rice and terrible. Why do owners change the food? Get the other cooks back! Plus prices up 20%. Gonna go out of business soon! Not goin back. read more

Our first time going to Adolfos today and we absolutely loved it. The service was great and everyone was so friendly! The Cali breakfast burrito was insanely good. The potatoes cooked to the perfect crisp and the salsas paired with the burrito were a match made in heaven. We will definitely be going back!! read more

Super fast and friendly. I have enjoyed everything I've ordered. Adolfo's is also open later than just about all other restaurants in the area. read more

Wonderful place under new management! We're from San Diego and visited this place on our return from Knott's Berry Farm. The food and service was great! Met the owner who has great plans for the future. We'll be back next time we're in town! read more

Tasty and fast. I recently moved into the area and as is typical, I'm trying to locate my new favorite spots. Carne Asada plate was a lot of food and was delicious; hoping to try another dish next visit. read more

Place is good, lot of options for food and they give you a good amount of food without overcharging you. I will say this location is slower than the one off El Toro. I recommend the birria tacos and the rolled tacos. read more

Great breakfast burrito. Super friendly people. The soups are also delicious. That's all for now

Got hungry while driving through and found this gem of comfort food. I ordered the torta de milanesa and it was lovingly layered for that perfect bite and flavor. You'll have to open wide. Staff were friendly and customers chatting in the lobby making for a somewhat homey or small town vibe. read more

The Birria Tacos & Birria burrito are amazing. The Meat is delicious, portions are generous, and the service is top notch. A night and day difference from the previous Adolfo's. The new owners have done an amazing job. Craving a burrito just writing this. read more

Tommy and his wife have done a great job. Food was amazing and super friendly and affordable. Please come by and say hi and enjoy his food

Food was fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was a little slow in arriving but we found out that they made a special shell for our taco salad because we wanted it split. Rather than just cut it (makes a mess), they crafted a smaller shell. read more

Love the food!! The portions are big & perfect at such a great price!! Tomas is the new owner, with him & his staff giving great service :) 10/10 recommend! Me & my husband are life time regulars! Thank you again for the great food!! read more

I personally really liked the California burrito from here, I was skeptical to try since other reviews mentioned a recent change of ownership, but I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. The asada wasn't dry and everything was well distributed inside. I didn't like that a lot of the fries inside were cut into smaller pieces and the salsas weren't noteworthy but also not complaint worthy. The woman at the front was really nice, the store takes Apple Pay, and service (order taking and cook time) was quick. read more

Really delicious, they have amazing salsa as well. I really like their carnitas and al pastor. They are generous with their portions as well! read more

Best Cali burrito I've ever had. 10/10 ... and I do not say that lightly. I eat a lot of Cali burritos. More than you could possibly imagine. Ive driven an hour from San Diego to Adolfo's multiple times just to satisfy my craving, and I plan to do it many more times. Friendly staff, and quick as fack. My meal was ready in 5min. I would like shake Adolfo's hand one day read more

It was amazing !!!! Great flavor and Super service !!! Great Mexican food . We will eat there again and again

I went in this evening to get five rolled tacos and was overcharged $10.05 when she told me $9.50. I called the location once I got home realizing that they overcharged me and the girl at the counter who remembers me says that she did charge the amount I inquired about because there's charges based on debit card usage or whatever... I asked her "so basically you told me a price that was false and you overcharged me and didn't tell me"? She said yes... Be careful... I'll never go back here... read more
