    Fried Fish, Rice, chorizo beans, and a simple salad
    Teresa S.

    My Father-in-law loves this place, so I decided to give it a try. The food is good except for the rice. I love Mexican rice, and their rice was bland. The chorizo beans were good and so was the fried fish. I'm unsure about the service on a regular day but I assume that due to Covid, the waitress was backed up. It took her a while to bring us our food and drinks and we received our napkins a while after we got our food. It seemed as though she was the only waitress working and it could have been that there was only one cook. I wasn't too bothered by the delay of service under certain circumstances during these times. Over all, the food was good the service was "blah" would I return?........perhaps, but it won't be on my top list of restaurants to eat at anytime soon.

    Amazing hidden Gem!! Great atmosphere and amazing food! Service was very prompt. Thankyou

    Food was decent, tortillas where soggy which was hard to eat the taco all together. The reason for 3 stars is the customer service was not great, the server seemed like she didn't want to be there. She didn't give us any napkins and when we were done she took plates but took a brake to drink her coffee and speak with the cook. We had to literally get up and give her the card to get the price to pay and to leave. Also asked for water and was given water bottles I'm ok with that, but maybe people don't want to pay $1.50 for a water bottle.

    I always love getting menudo soup here! Or fish soup! They're the best for hangover the thing I don't like about this place is the server has an attitude.

    It's dark in here!

    I was getting food next door at Kabayan Bakery and I saw the 99 cent fish taco sign. I've seen this sign numerous times but I think it's only on Friday and Saturday, luckily it was a Friday. I'm a fish taco aficionado, so I decided to see what El Kora was about! I got 2 fried fish tacos to go. The fish portion of the taco was bigger than most and it was fried perfectly =).The salsa was very good, it had a lot of different spices and was pretty spicy! These are definitely worth every penny! I went yesterday and I'm probably going today for lunch!

    4 fish tacos for 99 cents each.  Looks big, but just a lot of lettuce and soggy tortillas.

    It was so obvious that the fish in the fish burrito was frozen, soda is $2.50, and the place was dirty. Not worth the prices.

    Good ceviche. Couldn't believe how fresh the ceviche was. I had a fish and shrimp tostada and that was very filling (& I eat a lot!)

I'm so glad we did because it did not disappoint. The space was super clean with a chill, welcoming ambiance, and the cashier was honestly the sweetest. If the owner happens to read this, please give this girl a raise! She was hustling the whole time while keeping such a positive attitude, super respectful, incredibly kind, and very patient. She was the sweetest I have to say! The food was fresh and perfectly portioned. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot from now on. And I have to mention the flan, it was *chef's kiss*!

We ordered: Mar Y Tierra burrito - surf and turf style burrito, steak was so flavorful. Asada burrito - some of the best flavored asada there is in Daygo! Only downfall is they are not cheap by no means but, it's the quality you are paying for at this location! Both burritos out the door was a smidge over $30. Inflation is REAL! Might as well make sure you are getting quality food for your buck! If in the hood, don't hesitate to stop by CONTODO for your taco shop fix!

Hoy, el mismo empleado volvió a decir que solo aceptaban efectivo y que la máquina no funcionaba cuando le pregunté por qué en algunas noches es así. Sin embargo, después me permitió pagar con tarjeta, lo cual hizo que la situación se sintiera inconsistente y poco clara. Recomiendo tener precaución y revisar bien su cuenta, especialmente si pagan en efectivo.

    I have said this before. Being in Southern San Diego we are just spoiled when it comes to Mexican…read morecuisine. We have so many taco shops in the area. So many that they even outnumber 7-11's. So we have a lot of options. Rambertos is a taco shop that has been in the Spring Valley area very early on. It has lasted the test of time. Since then years later, a Jack In The Box was built next to it and after that just recently a Yoshinoya on the other side. One of the reasons Rambertos has lasted so long is the consistent tasting food. The quality control is very good. Right now it's my family's go to taco shop. With a large menu, there are a lot of choices to pick from. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, sopas and carne asada nachos are among the things you can order. Early morning to late night; you don't even have to leave your car. Just use the drive thru window. With so many taco shops around. What makes Rambertos so special? Well first they have been here for years. So they have to be doing something right. With so many changes all around. Rambertos still remains a constant. Secondly, the taco shop serves some of the best Mexican cuisine in the Valley. Thirdly, with everything from gas to groceries. Everything is expensive. Rambertos is affordable and won't break the bank. So support local businesses especially the good ones. Rambertos is exceptional.

Their salsa is basic not much flavor to it. The one thing I was flabbergasted about was, I ordered a side of rice, they gave me a large sauce cup of rice for $2.99. My whole meal was about $20. Needless to say, this was my first and last time I spend money here. Super disappointed. 100% DO NOT recommend.

I love it as I'm more so a sour cream fan. The rolled tacos or taquitos whatever it is that you want to call them, to me, they are always seasoned with beef and I love the thin tortilla rolled around it. On Tuesday you can get a combination plate for at a discount rate served with beans and rice. The California burrito is made with hash browns, meat, cheese and pico and I believe it's supposed to come with sour cream. This burrito, to me, is better than the ones within my immediate area which is why I'll make the short drive to this joint!!! Their regular Carna Asada burrito has guacamole & it's delicious. They don't except credit cards so bring cash. They have an ATM machine inside but of course you're gonna have surcharge fees from your banks. If you need something else, like cash then go to 7-Eleven they also have ATMs. They don't offer restrooms for customers but they do have a station where you can wash your hands.
