    Carne asada & El Pastor burrito
    Joe T.

    This place is the BOMB. It's my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Loved everything we ordered. The carne asada fries is the size of Mt Everest. Great people too.

    I went with my husband and daughter for the first time last night and let me tell you, I will be going back again and again. The people that work there were very helpful in giving us suggestions and answering all our questions. Everybody was very friendly. I kept seeing people posting about the monster burritos so I had to try it for myself. Let me tell you, this is definitely a monster burrito. Sometimes bigger isn't always better but in this case it definitely was. I had the waffles monster and this burrito was fire. It was one of the best burritos I've ever had. I don't normally like regular french fries in my burrito so I got it with curly fries and they stayed crispy and delicious. Sorry for the misspelling of the burrito but for some reason I can't correct it. I had the "Mofles monster burrito."

    El Mofles Taco Shop has recently takes over the old Cotijas spot across from Super Star Car Wash in El Cajon. The taco offers and extensive menu and some good daily specials. I came in during breakfast and ordered one of their breakfast burritos for $11.39 plus tax. The burrito was #4, which came with bacon, eggs, re-fried beans, house potatoes, and cheese. The burrito was definitely larger than most. It came well filled with scrambled eggs and house potatoes. They were both well seasoned as well. I did think the burrito could have used a few more ounces of bacon, but that's just me. I like to taste and feel it in every bite. The flour tortilla was of good quality, but I do recommend, that after they wrap the burrito, to let it spend a little time on the hot griddle to firm it up, so that it is not loose. The salsas from the salsa bar were great. The red medium had very good flavor and so did the green one. They offer much hotter ones but I did not partake. The service was very friendly. They offer a good amount of inside seating. Be sure to check out their daily specials.

    Not incredible but still good. The flavor was decent. It's a huge burrito. Good variety of salsa. Food came out quick despite how busy they were. Inside was clean, the workers were friendly.

    I won't be coming back and won't be recommending them to anyone else. My fries were under cooked I had to air fry them.

    Customer service is terrible and food wasn't cooked. I had to go home and air fry went to get my new front day off Gabbi said she can't give me a new one because they made me one without me saying I was otw.

    Carne asada fries

    The portions of this place are massive. My wife and I ate both today and yesterday with them. We also had the roll tacos and the agua frescas de jamaica and piña. The only reason I'm putting in a 4 star review is because they got my order wrong with the roll tacos, we had gotten the 5 place but came home to the 3. Waters were good, they're not fresh but still refreshing. The salsas were all flavorful. Wish they were a bit spicier but other than that great spot and we will definitely be back.

    Portions are huge and the food is tasty, highly recommend! Very friendly staff as well.

    The establishment is clean and well maintained. The salsa bar is a 'serve yourself style', the employees are friendly and personable, and the food is phenomenal. Everything I have had from here has been amazing. California burrito, street tacos, quesadilla, carne asada burrito, bean and cheese burrito, and the different salsa options are 100% worth it. This is my new go-to taco shop!

    Food is great! Fast service and quick turnaround for food. The portions are great. Definitely getting the most for your money here. Highly recommend!

    Massive Carne Asada fries and Pollo Asado Salad, you truly get your moneys worth here

    The food here goes crazy, you truly get your moneys worth here and the staff is super friendly! It's great vibes inside all around and their salsa bar has plenty of options to choose from!

    That was a 2 taco special. It was huge, fresh, great taste.

    Captain's Log -- Stardate 21,610…read more Twenty-one thousand, six hundred and ten rotations around this magnificent sun have I endured -- each one sharpening my palate, steeling my resolve, deepening my reverence for the extraordinary. On this day, the winds of destiny carried my queen and me eastward through the storied corridors of El Cajon Blvd, drawn by the ancient and irresistible promise of the perfect burrito, toward a hallowed establishment whispered about among the most discerning explorers of San Diego's vast culinary frontier -- known simply as Hacienda's Mexican Food. The perfect burrito. The very quest conjured visions of a culinary holy grail -- elusive, legendary, and worth every light year of the journey to find. If you are on the hunt for that perfect burrito, know this with Vulcan certainty: the hunt ends here. Make it so. We materialized at this unassuming outpost tucked along El Cajon Blvd -- modest in appearance, mighty in reputation -- arriving in that sacred window between the lunch and dinner hours when the quadrant falls quiet and the universe itself seems to hold its breath. The space was entirely ours. And in that still and sacred atmosphere, something felt deeply ceremonial -- as though the cosmos had cleared the bridge for what was about to unfold. The owner Llana greeted us -- a soul of remarkable warmth and genuine sweetness, the kind of presence that makes a stranger feel instantly like returning crew. In her presence, one does not feel like a customer. One feels like family. I canna' change the laws of physics -- but I am certain this woman bends them daily with nothing more than grace and a welcoming smile that signals to every visitor: you are home now. I, your Captain, fixed my coordinates on the California Burrito. My queen -- ever the diplomat of the table, ever the most discerning navigator in any quadrant -- set her course for the Tostada. We settled in. We waited. And then the plates arrived. My queen's Tostada materialized before us like a transmission from another civilization entirely -- a structure of such breathtaking architectural precision that I whispered to myself: look, but do not touch. The presentation was nothing short of magnificent. A masterwork of color, composition, and intention that stopped all conversation cold and demanded to be witnessed before it was consumed. Chicken. Rice. Guacamole. Mexican salsa. Sour cream. Refried beans. Cheese. Lettuce. Corn. Every element in its rightful place, every flavor in perfect formation, every bite a revelation. This was not a dish. This was a declaration. A communication delivered not in words but in the ancient and universal language of extraordinary food. "Infinite diversity in infinite combinations" -- the Vulcan masters understood this truth millennia ago. Hacienda's lives it on every single plate. And then -- the California Burrito. My mission. My mandate. Guacamole. Crisp golden fries tucked within like classified cargo. Pico de gallo singing with freshness and fire. Each component bound together in that warm tortilla like a crew that has trained for years -- each knowing its role, each elevating the others beyond what any could achieve alone. Mind-bending. Dimensional. The kind of burrito that makes a seasoned traveler set down his fork, close his eyes, and simply breathe. It does not simply fill your stomach -- it reprograms your memory and rewrites the coordinates of what a California Burrito can be. This is what the pursuit of the perfect burrito leads to. This is the destination. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" -- and the needs of every soul in San Diego seeking authentic, extraordinary Mexican food are met here abundantly and without reservation. No one who walks through those doors should leave without ordering. No one who orders should leave without already planning their return. Hacienda's is not merely a restaurant. It is a landmark. A standard. It now holds a permanent and honored position in my top three locations in all of El Cajon -- a distinction earned not through spectacle, but through the undeniable, irreducible power of truth on a plate. To my savvy consumers -- the discerning explorers of San Diego's most unique and desirable Mexican food -- I issue my final command: Set your course for El Cajon Blvd. Find Hacienda's. Walk through those doors and tell them Captain 619 sent you. Resistance to this burrito is futile. And you will not want to resist. There are not five lights. There are not four. There is only one truth in that kitchen -- and it is wrapped in a tortilla. My queen and I depart richer than any treasure map could promise. Live long and prosper. End log -- Captain 619 Voyager. Taster of Worlds. Forever loyal to the flavors that refuse to be forgotten.

    Lovely Mexican restaurant, delicious food. Really nice atmosphere. Casual but nice. Great customer…read moreservice we will be back for sure.
