They took the old box in the back and closed the door. When she brought it back out, I asked to see the old box because I didn't see them put a new one together. She said she threw the old one away but I saw her the whole time and didn't hear anything go in the trash. It is a heavy box. She swore that she threw it away and handed me the box and assured me that she heard that I was allergic to peanuts. While sitting to eat I got a little ways through the box when I noticed there were peanuts in the new box under some stuff. I believe they just picked the peanuts off the top and gave it back to me like I wouldn't notice. I do not recommend this place. I could have ended up in the hospital.

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.

To top it off they offer a salsa bar which is getting more rare nowadays since a lot of places are getting so cheap and greedy with their hot sauce or even limits you. Their habanero salsa is really good it has a good kick and is actually pretty spicy. The avocado salsa is usually pretty good but this last time it was sooo salty it was inedible. The roasted salsa was good and spicy as well. Lately the last few times their salsas have made my stomach hurt really bad but that won't stop me.

Captain's Log, Stardate 7789.3. Supplemental. We have embarked on an unusual away mission, far from the familiar starfields of the culinary galaxy. Our coordinates: a hidden nebula in Spring Valley, sector designated "Campo Road," concealed within the unsuspecting asteroid belt of a strip mall. Word on the street, whispered through back alleys and encrypted comms, is that this is one of the "joints" to hit. Now, let me tell you, San Diego offers a whole fleet of culinary destinations. But this particular location, known as La Posta Acapulco - a name that even rolls off the tongue with a certain... gravitas - stood out like a freshly polished chrome hubcap. Upon beaming in, we were immediately greeted by Humberto, a man whose communication skills would put even a seasoned diplomat to shame. He was a 10, right off the bat, radiating a personality that could disarm a Klingon. He even offered us samples of the goods before we committed to the full transaction, a move that speaks volumes about their confidence in the product. Then, there was Roberto, the maestro on the grill, a true artist orchestrating a symphony of flavors. The presentation, my friends, was nothing short of fantastic. I wish my verbal log could truly capture the visual artistry of what was placed before us. For a "taco shop," as the locals call it, this establishment earns a full five out of five stars. This isn't just a meal; it's an experience. La Posta Acapulco... Captain 619 highly recommends. End log. read more

I've been eating food from this place ever since a #3 combination dinner cost $3.35. So yeah...it's been a while. Their cheese enchiladas haven't changed a bit in decades and they're succulent. I've become partial to the Guadalajara Taco lately. It's a huge thing...like an open-faced taco salad. You can't eat it with your hands so don't even try. It's my new favorite. The chimichangas are huge and have tons of sour cream and guacamole on them. Very highly recommended! read more

I stopped by here for a quick bite to eat and enjoyed their service. The Cali burrito that I ordered was generous and the individual ingredients still tasted fresh. Unlike many of the nearby taco shops in Casa de Oro, La Posta offered us chips and salsa and had free water available. The parking area is a bit cramped but otherwise, I felt La Posta fulfilled our expectations. read more

My son swears the quesadillas here are magical and always eats most of it in the car on the way home because he can't wait. Service is always great, it's a family owned restaurant and they're consistently friendly and fantastic. It's a small business, but there's a few tables inside and chairs if you're getting takeout.

I feel like the reviews are biased to the portions and price but not quality. I want to contribute my honest review without coming off as some food snob. I had no issues with the service (the staff seemed like people I could vibe with daily) and really wanted this place to be my loyal go-to. I've lived in the area for over 23 years and wanted to try something different after exhausting pretty much all butrriro options, so I checked out some online forums for recommendations. There are a lot of burrito spots around, so it's easy to overlook this one. Still, it kept popping up in people's suggestions, so it seems to have a loyal crowd. The California burrito and the breakfast burrito were mentioned as the best options. Maybe I'm late to the party, but after trying their California and breakfast burritos, I was surprised by how bland and dead the food tasted. The carne asada lacked flavor and freshness, and the potatoes in both burritos were very stale, mushy, and bitter (as though eyes / dark spots were present). Both burritos were missing something. People said the red salsa was supposed to be great, but it didn't add anything, and neither did the green salsa. Both just tasted flat. What really surprised me was the "famous" breakfast burrito that so many people rave about. It should be one of the easiest things to get right, but it tasted watered down. Maybe it was the onions and potatoes? I couldn't enjoy it unless I covered it in the bland red and green sauce just to make it edible. I even wondered if the eggs were processed or imitation (I'm no stranger to cafeteria food). I do understand that the majority are struggling, so this may reflect the quality and lack of taste. I've been all over San Diego and been in some financially rough areas that managed to stay afloat while still providing life and love by using locally sourced ingredients. So I feel like this place just lost motivation and wants to fill you up instead of giving you an experience.

Anyway I ordered a shrimp a la diabla burrito of course because duh why not "they are known for their shrimp a la diabla burritos" so I never really enjoyed rice in my burrito. The shrimp a la diabla comes with diabla shrimp, tartar sauce, and rice I believe. So I had the bright idea of substituting the rice for some lettuce instead because I know it needed a filler. I know the diabla burrito can get a bit messy. But I wasn't expecting what I got when I came home to eat. It was a wet mess inside! No damn lettuce in sight, just a bunch of liquid and shrimp inside wrapped in a messy burrito. Whoever tf wrapped that burrito should get fired for that. Like 1.) why would you wrap my stuff so loose knowing there was bunch of liquid. 2.) why would you scoop all that juice inside a burrito knowing good and well it'd be wet. 3.) do you not know how to read; where was my lettuce?! So it basically broke apart and was a wet mess I literally couldn't even hold my burrito up. Never again!

The cashier (who looks like she hasn't worked there for more than a year) has the false confidence to tell me that changes made required her to charge me extra. She even said "that's how it's always been" but we both know that's a straight-up lie because she hasn't "always" been working there and I haven't been paying the price that she tried to scam me today. I didn't pay or take the food and just left. and this isn't the first time something similar to this happens at this particular location. The point is this; if you don't pay attention to how much you're paying (especially since this place NEVER gives a detailed receipt regardless of how many times you ask), this taco shop will UPCHARGE you every chance they get and then foolishly try to come up with some be excuse. Enough is enough, go to Sarita's or anywhere else instead.
