I've been coming to this restaurant for YEARS and knew the previous owners well. The new staff is very friendly and the food is still high quality and tastes good! It's a hole in the wall type restaurant but I'd recommend stopping by. read more

King Burrito - California Burrito (bottom) and Bacon Breakfast Burrito (top) - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

Pretty horrendous. Cheap meat, tasted in fresh and just sloppy gross. Weird chewy meat parts in it. Looks sketch and the food quality is sketch. Didn't realize when he asked if I wanted beans and rice also that he meant in the burrito (normally that is a side). Saw a lady who worked there pour ice into the drink machine with a Lowe's bucket . Ate the whole burrito cause I spent money on it and now I feel like shit. nice 0/5 would not recommend. read more

The best chicken soup ever. Amazing crispy tacos. This is Mexican food, at its finest. Thank God, I decided to eat here, instead of another Mexican restaurant in same parking lot. I want everyone to to visit, KING BURRITO. AMAZING!! read more

I had a California burrito from this spot a couple days ago and it was one of the best I've ever had. Still thinking about it!

Always a delicious meal and among the most well priced mexican food in north county. I can clearly tell the owner is a hard worker and puts love into his cooking. They stand out amongst the sea of good food in town as one of the best. read more

We stopped by King burrito, we used to eat here all the time the staff is familiar than ever under new ownership just recently the food is high-quality tastes great at a great price. I had the Carne Asada burrito. The person I was with had the Caldo de res price was very reasonable. I was extremely surprised. The place is hidden so unless you know it's there you don't know to look for it and you go next-door, which is your greatest mistake because the price is next-door are a good five dollars more per plate for the same amount of food and the food. Here is higher quality, fresher, and better tasting. The new owner is extremely friendly. The customer service is above and beyond any expectation the ambience is your typical Mexican food type of place Alberto's that kind of thing I strongly recommend king burrito definitely my go to spot now support a local business. It's been under new ownership for about two months three months maybe but the new owner has been there all along strongly. Recommend them give them a go. You won't be disappointed. read more

LA has amazing tacos but it's been difficult to find a good burrito spot! Having lived in San Diego for 6 years, I stand by the fact that SD's burrito scene is much better than LA's. Come for me, but I will die on this hill. We've DoorDashed from King Burrito several times now and each time, it hits the spot! Their burritos are also fully loaded and gigantic so will last me two meals. I usually like have to additional sauce to pour on my burritos but whatever sauce they already use in their burritos is delicious as is. read more

Slowest service ever. It's like the sloths of zootopia working there. Expect long wait times

Saw so much good stuff on social media I made a point to go there. 2 employees sitting in the cold restaurant, NO CUSTOMERS THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS THERE. Person who took my order didn't know what was in the burrito when I asked. he had to look at the menu. I ordered carne asada special that came with rice beans and a soda. He asked me if I wanted anything to drink with my order. DAH! it came with a soda. There was a small salsa bar that was there but had ZERO in it. They put soda bottles there to distract from there being nothing in the salsa bar. Got home and ate the burrit. HORRIBLE. So chewy I had to chew the carne for the flavor then spit it out. I spit out 90% of the burrito. TOTAL WASTE OF MY MONEY. I FEEL LIKE I OPENED MY WALLET AND JUST THREW $20 IN THE TRASH. Don't expect this place to be open very long. Horrible horrible experience. I had to heat up some ramen noodles after that burrito as it was so bad I threw 90% in the trash. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! read more

Great food and great service. Had chilaquiles and mole plate. I enjoyed both . New owner and new chef. I can't wait to come back to try the tortas. read more

Im very picky about Mexican food and this place hits all the marks. I judge by the fundamentals - beans and rice. Both are Delicious. The way it's meant to taste. I especially love that it's owned by a husband and wife. They a wonderful people and food is made with love. read more

Used to be good. Don't know if ownership changed. Was in the area and got the Carne Asada Burrito. 13$ looked like a rolled taco in a flower tortilla. And no flavor. Place went down hill. read more

I came in today and specifically ordered a "carnitas burrito with pico, beans, and cheese," however when I got home and took a huge bite, I immediately noticed that it was "carne asada" instead. No problem, I called in and explained the mix up without any kind of attitude, the cook informed me that he would fix it. When I got there, it was a whole different story. The cook basically called me a liar and did not want to correct his mistake now. The cashier lady then began to give me attitude and they were both extremely rude about it. I finally got them to fix it, but my family and I will no longer be coming here to be treated so rudely when I did nothing wrong. **HORRIBLE customer service** read more

King Burrito - Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

The owners are very nice. Food came out really fast and food is good. I would go here again.

This place is a hidden gem! It's a mom and pop restaurant that has a full menu and a cheery atmosphere. They don't serve alcohol. The chicken sopes, soups, burritos and fresh salsas are excellent! read more

This was my second visit here to this place and they don't disappoint. The food is very good but nothing special. I ordered the 2 cheese enchilada plate, 3 roll tacos with everything and a carne asada quesadilla. The enchiladas had the perfect amount of cheese, the roll tacos were freshly rolled and deep fried and the carne in the quesadilla was pretty juicy. It's attached to a Chevron gas station and the space is pretty small but not tiny; a few booths and some tables in the middle section. A sweet older lady was the cashier and she barely spoke English but an "A" for effort for trying, seriously, it was the cutest. She also made sure all my order was correct before handing it over to me. Reminds me of the grandma who fed you while you over at her house. Overall, I had a good experience and I might be back to try other special plates offered. read more

I go here every Tuesday for Taco Tuesday. The food is freshly prepared. The chillie rellenos and enchiladas are really good. The store is run by a husband and wife team. They are very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We went there because it seemed they have great prices. $4.60 for a burrito, hell yeah! Well, the actual prices are double as the their menu online says. So be aware if you go there, a burrito is $11 or more, same with other items on the menu. The King's Burrito with beef had a menudo aftertaste. I could only eat it with pouring lots of salsa over it. Portions are big. read more

It's a mom and pop shop so I'd love to give it 5 stars... but I can't. I had some inedible chips and some crunchy rice. I think they left a few items under the heat lamp a bit too long. The taocs, enchiladas, salsa, and service were good. It's attached to a Chevron gas station but it has a separate entrance and upon entry feels very disconnected to the gas station/convenience store. I ordered the combo plate with a beef taco, cheese enchilada, and rice & beans. The taco was 3/4 lettuce, 1/8 cheese and 1/8 beef. It was light and refreshing with all that lettuce but not very filling. The cheese enchilada was my favorite part. The tortilla was warm and pliable, filled with melted cheese, and topped with enchilada sauce. The salsa was tasty but they were very shiesty with it. They had 2 tiny salsa cups by the salsa bar and when I asked for more she glarred at me asked if I ordered in. Then dropped 3 more tiny cups on the counter. It became obvious they were guarding salsa. It was the tiny cups 0.5 oz ramicans not the 1.5 oz cups. I guess next time I'll have to ladle salsa directly onto my plate to get enough. /shrug read more

You can't tell by the location, but it's the best Mexican food in the area. Very authentic and tasty.

Food always fresh and cooked just right! Carne Assad burrito, spicy carrots, and some of their bomb chicken soup!! Happy cinco de mayo!! Build the wall! #maga read more

ordered the california burrito here and was disappointed because i'm pretty sure the ingredients for it said it came with guac and sour cream?? but the burrito i received only had meat, fries, and pico de gallo... most underwhelming burrito i've had in a while. the service was okay, as when the lady at the front asked if i wanted salsa to go, she had to get the salsa bottles off the tables and then prepare it for me too. seems like something that should be done before as well :/ i usually don't complain about experiences but this was a lil disappointing for sure :/ read more

Don't let the fact that this place is attached to a gas station deter you. I've lived here for 10 years and only just started coming here last year, and I feel like we've been missing out on a lot by not coming here. King Burrito has become my absolute favorite go-to for a bean and cheese burrito. They make mini ones which are the PERFECT ratio of beans versus cheese. I usually order two, eat one then and save one for a little later we've had other things on the menu, but I always go back to the mini bean and cheese! Keep in mind that if you only order minis, they prefer for you to have cash. The lady behind the counter is the sweetest. The chef is pretty quick, especially compared to other local shops. The salsa bar has a great green salsa and I find a little of each salsa is the best (: LOVE this place! read more

King Burrito - the menu of king burrito - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

They need to change the name to King of Small Burritos my dad had the worlds smallest carne asada burrito so much tortilla so little fillings. There was so little meat in all the stuff we got I get it meats pricey but dang give me some at least. This taste like Mexican food I got in Virginia plain, poor quality, and a waste of money. Nothing had flavor I didn't even finish my chicken taco the shredded chicken had no flavor and was dry. They kept asking my dad if he was going to tip on several occasions. This place reminds me of why I miss living in North Park the San Diego Mexican food scene down there is untouchable. My poor dad spent $22 on 3 tacos, rolled tacos, horchata, and a carne asada burrito total waste of money. I can't understand any good reviews for this place the food was so mediocre and flavorless. We won't be returning to this place hope they are able to improve their service and quality of food. read more

Always delicious Food at a reasonable price and compliments to Chef and those that serve us. We live at a distance now, but make the effort to stop. Never disappointed and always enjoy the meal. Thank you!! read more

I probably should round down to 3 stars but I'm feeling generous today and I'm also willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. I stopped in earlier today to check out this Mexican joint inside the Chevron gas station. I'm always fascinated by this fusion of concepts and my interest is always piqued when trying to find how such a partnership works. There's surprisingly a decent amout of seating inside with enough tables to accommodate a group of 8 with ease. Parking will be an issue because of the shared space so be prepared to walk a little and make sure to be on alert when walking through the parking lot and gas station. King Burrito is not open 24 hours but they are open for most of the day. What I like about King Burrito is their Carnitas Burrito. For $4.40, you can hook yourself up with some pork heaven. The magical meat is cooked well and paired with some equally magical guacamole and pico de gallo. You can ask for your carnitas to be cooked well done so that you can enjoy those little crispies. So you're probably wondering why I almost docked a star. Well, during my burrito extravaganza I bit into not one, not two, but three bones. It was quite the predicament really. On the one side, I was loving the flavor of the burrito and the salsa verde and the pickled carrots. But on the flip side, I was becoming more and more fearful of biting into another bone. One should not be afraid to eat, and I was. But like i said, I'm feeling generous today... read more

$7.01 is a steep price for a very basic breakfast burrito. There's little to no protestors, few scraps of bacon, and just all egg. The flavor isn't terrible which is why it's 2 stars but man did it take forever considering no one was there. 12 minutes for scrambledeggs wrapped in a tortilla basically. Avoid this place. There's much much better options out there. In fact, I'd argue any place other than Valerie's off Emerald is better. read more

King Burrito - That was all the bacon I found. - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

Took my kid to Legoland and while we were down here, I decided to look for some Carne Asada fries. After searching this dish, Yelp led us here. This place is literally next door to the corner Chevron. Same building. They even share the same restroom. Ordered the carne asada fried and carne asada tacos. Asada fries: steak fries with beef, cheese, ranch, and guacamole. Nothing else special or extravagant. I didn't get much of a lasting impression like I first tried else where in San Diego 10 years ago. Asada tacos: Tacos with beef, onions, cilantro, topped with guacamole. Also nothing spectacular or original. Food: asi asi ("so so" in Spanish) Dining area: handful of tables Atmosphere: fast food feel, authentic Mexican Restroom: shared with Chevron, clean Overall experience: good, but no lasting experience Would come back: sure, but I live too far read more

Been eating Mexican food in San Diego for 25+ years and this is my favorite by far!!! Quality!!!

I've been coming here for years! I love their green beef enchiladas. My mom always gets the chicken soup whenever she's sick. Definitely a home style touch to every dish read more

I'm not sure why they have so much 5 star reviews but the worst rolled tacos and Cali burrito. Rolled tacos had the SMALLEST amount of meat... I basically ate a tolled fried tortilla. Wish I had taken a photo. The Cali burrito almost had NO MEAT. It tasted so dry and plain that we didn't finish the rest... mostly French fries inside. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Went to Los Tacos right after... much better food read more

I love this place! The owners are wonderfully nice, and the food is incredible. It's has the standard, comforting, San Diego Mexican classics. Ever thing is good. For a satisfying, filling meal go for the chimichanga. You can't go wrong! read more

What a little gem. I never even noticed it was there and now so happy that I have. Best breakfast burrito in the area with three different salsas that all have a distinctive taste. Looks like a mom and pop too who need the support the most in these times- so check them out! read more

What is Caldo de Pollo It is a blanket of yummy goodness on a cold day Or Chicken Soup for Your Soul, which also fills up your body! The adjacent gas station makes you feel like one day this place will end up on "Diner's, Drive-ins and Dives". read more

Skeptical about tacos at the gas station lol but the bf brought home some carne asada tacos and they were pretty authentic, good portion, great guacamole ! Been trying other menu items too and all are pretty tasty; Chile relleno (plenty of cheese), chorizo (like Mom used to make), beef tacos (yum!). Horchata is always on point never watery. You can tell the owners take care of their lil taco shop, very clean and cool paintings to look at :) Better than their neighbors "los tacos" which tends to be too "Americanized" and commercialized. read more

Should have known getting Mexican food at a place that shares a building with a gas station. Carne asada burrito was garbage. Was so small. The burrito wasn't even really round. Was more flat and the meat was really salty. Live and learn I guess. read more

Went there tonight for taco Tuesday and ordered 2 fish and side of chips. Let me put it to you this way., chips were the best part of it. Never made it to the second one and only a few bites of the first. The worst I ever eaten. Never again. You guys need to step up your game . read more
