    Ordered on DoorDash with no expectations. Was pleasantly surprised with the flavor, quickness, and overall experience with this spot. Some would call it a hidden gem. Tucked away in Point Loma, it is a must try. They have a drive thru and a small inside area. Service was impeccable, very nice people.

    Bean and Cheese burrito w extra cheese
    Nick C.

    Wanted to grab something late but the line at Phil's was crazy. Opted for some hard shell tacos and a burrito at Agave They have a drive through which is a plus. The lady was friendly. Food was cooked fresh. Taco de Papa - Shell held up on the way back to the hotel. Lettuce, little cheese and tomato. The potato isn't seasoned heavy like, normally they can have a little spice or seasoning but this was good. Taco de Machaca / Shredded Beef - Really good. Lots of meat throughout the taco. Sam lettuce cheese tomato topping as the potato one. Beef was flavored well and cooked perfectly. Bean and Cheese burrito w extra cheese - Wow! I don't know if all their burritos are this size but holy moly! This thing is massive. Probably about 12in long and 5 across. The beans are delicious. Glad I got extra cheese as they put it throughout the whole burrito. I wish it was a little more higher in temp to melt the cheese properly but it's all good. The salsas are tasty and pair well with this massive burrito. This could be a $10 burrito and it's worth it. I also god a horchata and pineapple agua Fresca. Both delicious and not too sweet.

    Carne asada fries

    Favorite taco shop in PL and maybe top 3 in San Diego. Tasty options, big portions and AMAZING hot sauce both red and green. My favorites go to's are carne asada fries, carne asada burrito add shrimp, California burrito add eggs (breakfast). The ladies at the counter/drive thru are always so pleasant.

    We stopped off to grab some tacos and loved it here! The service is fast and food quality is excellent. They messed up one order (sauce wasn't removed) and quickly fixed it and let us keep the messed up order too. We dined inside but there's a drive through option. There are only a few tables inside so be aware if you have a large party. If I lived closer I would be here all the time! Prices are very reasonable too. ----TL;DR---- Pros: quick, great flavors, reasonable prices, good quality, drive through option makes it easy. I loved my beef hard shell taco and shrimp taco and my kid enjoyed his carne asada and carnitas tacos (see pics) Cons: smaller indoor seating (they also have outdoor seats) Bottom Line: if you crave some tacos, stop in, you won't regret it!

    Wanted a quick bite before heading in to seaworld. This place hits the mark! No public restrooms so plan accordingly. Bacon Breakfast Burrito (4): Pretty decent breakfast burrito fare. The bacon was crispy and it was fresh. They had green and red salsas. Both were good. Carnitas Taco (4): Good size. The pork was cubed which was actually pretty good. Tortillas were greasy and just okay. Overall, decent no frills taco shop.

    Was walking by and starving for dinner so stopped in here. Ordered the California burrito to go and staff was decent and got it out in a reasonable time. Burrito was about $14 so definitely overpriced but good and filling. Inside dining area was small but clean.

    Decent taco shop in the Midway area. Carne asada burrito was good sized and was good. The meat was a little tough but very tasty. Inside was clean and well lit. Service was friendly and the food came out fast. A little bit pricey but what isn't these days?

    My Adobada Burrito was a Bloody Mess! In a good way of course! It was the adodo! The rich red color made it look fantastic! At $9.45 the burrito was generously filled with tender marinate pork meat. It also came with guacamole and small amount of pico. The burrito could of of came with more avocado or guacamole. I would of done freshly slices avocado, but that's just me. At any rate, the burrito tasted very good, was slightly on the greasy side, and was filling. The adobada was delicious, but don't be shy with the guacamole. This Agave taco Shop location sports a drive thru, a small amount of inside seating, and a outside patio with good seating. The young lady working during the time I visited was very nice.

I had to take photos in night mode so it looks a lot brighter than it actually is. If you are going with someone older or who has trouble seeing in the dark, they are not gonna see anything lol 3. I heard reservations were required months out but i went in the same day. It was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend around lunch time but they took walk ins left and right so maybe just dinner is what needs to be booked in advance? The decor was immaculate and everything that came out was delicious and it came out very fast. It is connected to the Lafayette hotel which has the jungle room, bowling alley, pool and multiple bars. You can easily spend the day here. Mmmm not if you have kids though. 10/10 recommend

    Very trendy, friendly, evocative dining experience! It's located inside the Lafayette Hotel, but…read morethere's also an outside entrance to the restaurant. Beware there's only street parking, no valet service (unless you're a hotel guest), so that can present a challenge. Reservations a MUST on weekends, especially with a group. Now for the food reviews. Everything we ordered was delicious from the squash blossom and smashed tuna tartare appetizers to the El Festin platter (made for groups) . Since the main dining area is kept dark for the dramatic gothic effect, it's tricky to rely on your sense of sight for the presentation of each of the dish. The highlight for me was the chili garlic shrimp tacos. So full of flavor! The only drawback is that many of their dishes are made with nuts. So if you have a nut allergy, which one of us in our group did, the menu was limiting. Overall, it's an incredible place for first timers and out-of- towners. I might return for a special celebration, but not repeatedly. Once is good enough experience, especially with so many other special dining options in our fine city.

    Overview: very quick and friendly service, yummy California Burrito according to my bf…read more ---- We placed an order through the phone for a California Burrito ($13.90) and a Fish Taco ($5.50) and they said it would be ready in 5 minutes! We left right away to pick up the food and sure enough it was ready waiting for our arrival. One quick drive back home to dig in and the aroma was so enticing. California Burritos is very apt for their name, my bf rates it a 10/10. As a California Burrito connoisseur, he liked the addition of sour cream in it and said the flavors were delicious. He topped it with their green salsa for a little bit of a freshness to cut through the richness and fattiness of the meat and fries in the burrito. He didn't care for the fish taco that much and rated it a 4/10 but said the restaurant overall was a 10/10, as he thought there was too much lettuce and tomato throwing off the ratio of the taco. I, on the other hand, am a huge fan of veggies and liked the ample amount they provided. ---- There's a couple benches outside in front of the shop and seating at booth tables inside as well. It's a bit smaller to sit inside, I recommend sitting outside to enjoy the fresh air and the sunset is beautiful. ---- Overall: if you're in the mood for California Burritos come to the place rightly named California Burritos!

    They do things a little different at this place. The California had guacamole and sour cream. Makes…read moreit more like a carne asada burrito adding fries. That said, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this burrito. It's large, filling, but their sauce had an almost artificial red color to it. Despite the weird look of the sauce, it had decent spice, wasn't overwhelming but wasn't weak either. Parking is very difficult here, and seating is limited. It's a small tack shop style place, made more for to-go orders. Service was fast and friendly. Their horchata is where they really lose a star, it's from a fountain and tastes like it, watered down artificial flavor. However you don't come here for the drinks, you come here for the large tasty California Burritos, hence the name. They've definitely won me over and I'll be back when in the area. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

The food, I mean, the FOOD was undeniably delicious and full of flavor. I've literally never had a better taco anywhere else. The Al pastor was exceptionally juicy and tasteful and I'm so glad I went with my go to because it's a meal I'll never forget. The Agua Fresca were so refreshing too, sweet but not overly sweet, just the right balance. Overall, I have another new favorite when I come back out again.

We were split into two tables outside. Overall the experience was pretty underwhelming. The food was not very flavorful - it wasn't authentic Mexican food or even good California fusion Mexican food. There are so many better Mexican restaurants in San Diego, it was disappointing to have wasted a meal here. I believe it's a chain so not sure if the other locations are better as I've only tried this one.
