    Steak Super Burrito with request no beans
    Valerie K.

    Im currently on a hunt for the best California burritos in the area, so of course I had to try this place out. This is my first stop on my adventure of finding a new go to spot for California burritos. I would give this California burrito 3/5 just because it taste more like a super burrito with fries. I think they wrap burritos very nicely and tight. You don't have to worry about your food falling out the tortilla. Both burrito featured have steak. The salsa is your typical salsa nothing special but good enough to pair with your meal. But the overall experience 3/5 stars. There is also limited street parking. Might be best to order through food apps rather sit down and eat. It's definitely a place that would stop by out of convenience rather than specifically drive to the restaurant for the food.

    Veggie quesadilla - where is the cheese?
    Molly L.

    I think this place can be a hit or miss. Recently the quality control has been a little off. When I order the veggie taco the toppings can taste less than fresh. But worse, when I ordered a veggie quesadilla this weekend, they made a veggie burrito instead which was basically a tortilla stuffed with steamed vegetables. The vegetables had just been boiled so the tortilla was soggy and there was little-to-no cheese to be found. It was the biggest disappointment and I couldn't finish it or eat much of it at all. I think they need to better train their workers on certain items otherwise it just ruins the customer experience.

    Delicious enchiladas plate the rice and beans were excellent

    I had a craving for Mexican food decided to give El Buen Sabor De Mexico a shot no plate was over $ 20.00 including their shrimp and steak plate that was $ 16.00 you can't beat that. We were the only ones dining in person but I noticed quite a few take out orders as well as food delivery orders. I ordered the Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo and we also ordered the enchiladas plate. Both were delicious with significant portions. We also enjoyed complimentary chips and salsa. Everything from the rice to the beans were flavorful and well seasoned. The red sauce on the enchiladas was so delicious we were dipping our chips in it. The staff was friendly and efficient too. For drinks I ordered the horchata and we also ordered mango juice both were very good. The horchata had just the right amount of cinnamon too. I would definitely go back.

    Great Mexican food every bite was full of flavor. I really appreciated the guy taking our order asking whether my daughter liked her food spicy or not. The food came out quickly, and we cleaned our plates!

    Inside

    I've been here at least 4 times and they surprise me each time. Wanted to try something new from here since I always get a burrito or nachos, so my bf and I decided to try their carne asada taco salad and regular tacos. The taco salad was our least favorite. The guac was a little brown and the lettuce tasted wilted. The carne asada was tender, but salty. The taco shell was perfectly fried and tasty. The carne asada tacos were BOMB. I dunno if the corn tortillas are homemade or what, but they sure tasted like it. The meat was salty, but the tortillas balanced it out. I also tried the pastor taco and that was delicious as well. The tacos are also big, they give you a nice portion of meat on each taco. We ordered to go, but the overall service was quick even with a bunch of delivery orders. We waited maybe 7 min max for all our food. The inside looks like your normal taqueria, you can see them cooking up all the yummy goodness behind the counter. I've tried almost everything on their menu and definitely suggest giving this place a try if you're in the area. Stand outs for me: tacos, burritos and nachos.

    Ambience is nice and calm. There's a music playing they have TV going. It's nice and calm. It's pretty calm on a Friday for now. I'm a little late and just back and plus you can get DoorDash and GrubHub orders with this place so that's good but I can't wait to dig into my burrito. I'm excited it looks so good. The service amazing the cashier working here. She was very nice and kind explained to me about the food and the order and their systems were down, but she still assured me that you know everything was OK you know and what not still was able to take care of that but overall it's been a year since I've been here so I can't wait to dig into my burrito. I've been wanting a burrito and some chips and salsa for a minute, but happy Friday and my strawberry Horchata I cannot wait to try it.‍‍ the food. Here is good anyway I should've got an enchilada plate but I'm wait till the next round and I'mma just enjoy my burrito. Yeah yeah yay yay. it's about to go down finally I made it home after two more stops. I'm starving ready or not here I go to this burrito yes yes yes indeed. So I don't like the salsa made with squash it's not for me no harm no foul. I just don't like it. I like the avocado salsa and the red one. The sauce Verde is ok but the avocado salsa is

    Excellent service and fish super burrito. Next time I'd add some produce like lettuce for texture. Parking is a bit tough but on a very busy street so you might just have to walk a little bit. I will be back.

    Chicken nachos
    Mar H.

    Found this spot through a Yelp suggestion. Glad we stopped by. The gentlemen who took our order was very nice. Chicken enchilada plate and Chicken nachos - would order again. Good portions and very flavorful. My husband got a carne asada burrito. On the smaller size according to him. No picture bc it was just ok.

    Al pastor tacos
    Emily P.

    Tacos were bland. Hand to drown them in salsa to taste good. Gave complimentary chips and extra salsa tho :) thank you!

    Looks good, but it didn't taste good
    Sistine M.

    Excitement turned to disappointment in record time. First things first- this is the SMALLEST "super" burrito I've ever had. Or seen in my life. Plus the fact I ordered a steak and shrimp burrito and there were no shrimp in it. Annnnd, on top of that, the meat is super salty. The tacos gobernador was one shrimp cut up per taco. You might as well just get a regular quesadilla. Nachos looked good. Again, salty ass meat. The "best" thing by far was the tamarindo drink. It wasn't over packed with ice and the flavor wasn't watered down. I absolutely would not ever come back. I seriously don't see how they have such a high rating.

There wasn't a wait for food or a table. It was actually pretty empty. Such a homey vibe and the chefs/cooks were super friendly and attentive. They cooked our food outside on a grill vs a traditional kitchen. The prices are pretty good for all the food you get. They stack your plate! We really enjoyed all the food (chilaquiles rojos and the verdes with meat, and three quesabirrias). We couldn't finish it all! You can tell it's all homemade, which is nice. A lot of places don't make their chilaquiles sauce from scratch. We'd definitely return. The only thing I'd pass on is the Vietnamese coffee. Maybe it was our fault for ordering this at a Mexican spot, but it tasted more like cold brew than Vietnamese coffee.

The service was quick, fast and the people friendly. Overall, I'd take my dad there.

Chile verde omelet w/corn tortillas and a waffle. I remembered to bring my own carry out containers. They use the brown cardboard type which soaks up any juice before getting it home. Immediately, I separated my meal in half. Now, I have TWO delicious meals. I also remembered to bring my flavored coffee creamer, lime and hot sauce- I don't like Tabasco. I'm ready! Although I enjoyed my meal, these were items of disappointment: 1. I know they were constantly brewing coffee, but it tasted burnt, as if had been sitting for a long time. I was not able to "doctor" it up. I think it's a very poor quality of coffee :-(... For the price of that tiny cup of coffee, they need to do better! 2. My omelet was waaaaay smaller than ever before! It was like a two egg omelet and noticeably flat, unlike the usual omelet "hump". The Chile verde sauce was more sauce than chunks of pork. Small pieces of pork more like the size of dice! and very little of that! 3.My greatest disappointment was the potatoes!!! In the past, I loved their TRUE home fries- cubes of potatoes fried/sautéed just so, with onions, bell peppers. I often ordered a separate order of home fries to go, because I ate most of the ones that came with the meal. To my surprise, the meal came with "sliced fried potatoes", which had a greasy taste- I mean GREASy! taste. Some of them were so hard, I had to use my knife. I commented about the potatoes- the lack of onions/peppers and I was bought a side of them, but they were hard, just slightly grilled. So my home fries experience was a huge let down :'-( 4. Still one of the best waffles anywhere! Rosy's waffles are somewhere in my top 3 restaurant waffles!! Soft and spongy, evenly cooked- no need for a lot of butter and/or syrup. Note: One of the few Mexican restaurants that doesn't automatically offer/promote salsas with the meal. At home, I love a bit of salsa with my scrambled eggs with cheese. I first tried this years ago, in a Mexican restaurant and loved it. I will return at some point, maybe I'll try another item... but always a waffle!

I told him I wanted to escalate the situation and make a complaint because the service was completely unacceptable. He simply said, "Oh, sorry," and then hung up on me as well. At this point, what is the purpose of having a phone line if employees are just going to pick up and hang up on customers or leave them sitting on hold without ever coming back? I was trying to place an order for eight people, and instead I'll be taking our business across the street to The Breakfast Club. Denny's is losing loyal customers because of experiences like this. I really hope management reviews who was working during this time and addresses the situation with the staff.

We sat in the back portion of the restaurant, which seems to possibly be a new addition for them? I'm not sure. I liked all of the picture framework in the front of house, with cute bacon and egg play on jokes. Menus are worn out. Could use a reprint or lamination, but that's minor. Food: Ordered the beignets, a corned beef hash breakfast meal (husband's dish), and a 3 egg pancake combo for myself. Yum! The beignets are more doughy than I expected, but tasted fresh. This is not your princess and the frog beignet, more of a doughnut puff type? I don't know how to describe it exactly, haha. The staff was accommodating in putting their vanilla and chocolate sauces on the side for dipping which I appreciated. Pancake was good, eggs cooked well (I love a place that knows how to cook a soft scramble), while their home fries are not what I expected (I think I typically prefer a more crispy potato), this showed me that I can possibly save myself time in the future when making at home. While not crispy, the home fries were delightful, entirely cooked through with a thin crisp edge. Staff: very kind! You know it is a family run business. The only thing I found mildly off putting was that one of the young servers wore his pajama bottoms. It did not feel like something a server should wear. But, if the place is a "come as you are" kind of a place, I understand. Overall: we will come back. Good food for a good price. Overall a good atmosphere and positive vibe. Just some slight tune ups would make this place a star.
