I have been coming here for almost 20 years. Their California Burritos and Carne Asada fries are the best! When my siblings and I were younger we would look all over the house for all change and loose bills. Just to walk over here and order something. And still all these years later I keep coming back and now my kids love their food. I love that even over time everything still tastes the same. Service has always been great they are super fast even with big orders. read more

Food is really good! Flavorful and always hits the spot! Betty helped us and she is an amazing person! Nice, respectful, and will make sure you received great service! My wife and I enjoyed the watermelon agua Fresca that Betty made too! read more

Very good. My go to place. Highly recommend. Go check it out for sure. I usually get the Cali burrito with sour scream and the buñuelos. Delicious. read more

CASH ONLY! Chorizo and potato breakfast burrito. Solid burrito. Everything you want in a Breakfast Burrito. They use French fries for their potatoes, the thicker ones that give a great mouth feel for a burrito. Well mixed chorizo, eggs, cheese, and potatoes. Red salsa is not too spicy and adds just right amount of heat. Called in order and was ready in about 10 minutes. read more

I've been trying to find new local spots to support around the area and get out the habit of only visiting my usuals to give other small businesses a chance. The cashier was so nice, patient, and communicated really well! The place was small but a few other customers were in and out ordering and picking up orders. We ordered the California burrito, carne asada burrito, fish burrito, rolled tacos, and cheese quesadilla. Everything was pretty good! The carne asada meat was not bland or salty so it was perfect. The fish burrito was good too but nothing impressive. My only complaint is the rolled tacos. I got the basic that came with just guac and cheese which I'm fine with. I'm normally used to the lettuce, pico, and sour cream but it didn't come with it and I didn't feel like adding. My pet peeve is when I order rolled tacos and they put it in a small tray with aluminum foil cover then proceed to place burritos on top of that foil. Therefore squishing the cheese and guac to be all stuck onto the top of the foil. Like why won't you guys just put it in an actual container if there's a topping? So all my cheese was on the foil instead of my rolled tacos. It also was soggy. I probably wouldn't get that again but everything else I ordered was good. Their hot sauce was nice and spicy too! Hot carrots were cooked perfectly with a crunch instead of being soggy. read more

Don Jilberto's Mexican Food - Wet burrito beans and cheese, carne asada fries and mini tacos they always have some good food - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I asked my buddy to go and get me a bean cheese burrito and add Carne Asada. I gave him $20. He comes back with five dollars and an incorrect order! Mind you a bean and cheese burrito is $7.50. So to add Carne Asada is eight dollars ? They apparently told him they made a Carne Asada burrito and added beans and cheese. Out of curiosity who told them to do that when simply a bean and cheese adding Carne Asada it was all that was asked for. This is completely unacceptable and a shit show for customer service. This will be the last time I'll be returning here and it's unfortunate cause I've been coming here for over 20 something years. Do better! read more

Don Jilberto's Mexican Food - WHERE THE F IS THE CHEESE!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I ordered a carne asada burrito and asked for the meat crispy which was executed to perfection...my only qualm was that the burrito was pretty small; it made up in taste what it lacked in size at a $13 price tag...also, THIS IS A CASH ONLY SPOT! Luckily, the lady was nice enough to accept a Venmo payment from me otherwise, the meat was flavorful and legit for being asada à la plancha... read more

Nice staff great food!! Been coming here for years!! Never fails to disapponint !!!!!!

This place is the best! Outstanding customer service. I didn't have cash as it was my first time here. The owner noticed I work as a first responder and offered to feed me free of charge. You don't find people so willing to give back to their community in such a way anymore. I will be bringing my family here again for years to come. And the food was the best in the county! read more

CASH ONLY. Support small businesses. I live down the street and remember trying this place when I moved here in 2019. Did not return until today. Sister in law commented how yummy it was and we made a mental note to revisit. Great success. Arrived and man in booth starts calling cashier to come help me. No other customers in booths. Very quiet. Ordered carne Asada fries with sour cream, guacamole, and cheese and a Carne Asada burrito with everything on the side. Given two kinds of salsas. Meat was so bomb that we could only conclude they source it from Bonita Market next door, which is where we buy our meat. Meat was tender and flavorful. Will be returning considering quality and proximity. We found both salsas to be very spicy. Recommend! read more

YES DO IT! so good HIGHLY recommend. Came here after finding it on Google. Had good ratings so I had to check it out. The food was so good I had to order more & the woman who rang me up was soooo sweet! One of the few spots to not disappoint after coming back to SD after 5 years. read more

Although this taco shop is not the closest one to me, I started coming here when my other spot did me dirty. I ordered the bean&cheese, chile relleno and the chicken enchiladas plate. I was greeted when I entered, and suggested a few of their popular dishes when I asked. I almost got the potato tacos which are a new item but I didn't have enough on me and I still had to hit the corner store while my order was being cracked out. When I came back the kind woman who took my order straight-up offered me a sample of her potato tacos. Hell Yea!!! My food was hot, delicious and substantial for the price. My chile relleno was fat and their salsa bumped that flavor up. Stop by this place! Food was off the hook, service was on point and that potato taco took me back to my mom's kitchen, waiting impatiently for the first fried potato taco was ready! Check em out, you won't regret. read more

I've been coming here for over 30 years and the food remains the same. Incredible. Always flavorful and delicious. This is one of the many family owned Mexican food restaurants in Spring Valley but overall most consistent when referring to flavor, customer service, and experience. They also cater large parties depending on size as my family friends, and neighbors have used them for numerous occasions, graduations, ceremonies and celebrations and they always make the party a memorable success. The food is always delicious. Give them a try next time your in Spring Valley. read more

I don't usually come here for what they have on their menu. The only thing I get from their menu is the carne asada plate. The meat is nice and tasty and the flavor unlike any other meats at other taco shops I've tried... Lately they've added caldos to their menu but are not on there. Their caldo de res is killer and their barbacoa plate is great too. Love these plates and the friendly ladies behind the counter and cooks. Are all real nice ladies.... P.s. all cash sales read more

I've tried a few different items from their menu and here is my take on these items. Breakfast burrito: just okay Carne Asada burrito: meat is flavorful Rolled tacos: crispy and good Beef tacos: hot, fresh to order and definitely good flavor. This spot is cash only. Make sure to ask for plenty of salsa as it is good with a subtle punch, not to much to overpower the food. read more
