    Eggs, Bacon, Potatoes, & Cheese Breakfast
    Nathan Z.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is clean, service is awesome, very friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Salsa bar meets all expectations with variety, freshness and flavor. I'm looking for the best breakfast burrito in the area and this is my opinion for Los Jilbertos' Bacon breakfast burrito. The Burrito came out nice and hot, probably should have let it sit for a minute longer to let all the cheese melt before cutting it in half. Bacon was crispy, crunch on every piece if you're looking for that texture element. Cheese and egg were distributed throughout, but the potato was a little overwhelming and under seasoned. They also use a hash brown or shoe string style potato that makes the burrito feel more full of filler rather than flavor (egg, cheese, and potato). Personal preference, but I feel like it's the same sin as overloading a burrito with rice and not enough of the good stuff. Salsa helped cut some of the starchiness. Next time I'll try the sausage breakfast burrito as this was the next 3 orders after mine, maybe better? 3 stars for the bacon burrito 5 stars for the service [[HIGHLIGHT]]4 stars for the restaurant building, location and dining area (including salsa bar)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall solid convenient choice near the freeway and Pechanga.

    Great food. fantastic customer service i'm definitely recommend this place. Thank you!

    This used to be my spot. I ordered a a California Burrito on the phone. I asked if it came with guacamole and sour cream and cheese. They said yes. I got my Burrito at home and there was none. I then called them and asked why it was not in there. She said it is now Additional charge. I'll wait next time to go get Mexican Food somewhere else. And Burrito was $15+ What a Ripoff Now. I won't be coming back

    Pastor torta

    I came here on a Monday evening after my winery trip because my usual Krispy Crunchy Chicken was closed. I've probably only eaten here once 10 plus years ago. The cashier said her fav meat is the pastor. A customer recommended the torta. The pastor torta did not disappoint. The meat was thinnly sliced and tender. The bread was amazing and not thick and hard. This was a very tasty and huge sandwich. I don't remember if there were beans on it because I was tipsy and starving. The salsas were amazing. The sandwich was $10 but that's all you need. They are pricey for Mexican food but I'm not sure if that's a norm or the covid inflation.

    Unraveling the mystery rolled taco burrito!  Yes, that's dried Bean dust on the side.

    Stopped in for a B&C burrito. The bag was pretty light and not warm, but I didn't think too much into it. Took me @ 10 minutes to get home. Opened the bag up and found a cold, skinny, rolled taco size burrito. Unrolled the tortilla and found @ 3-4 tablespoons of beans and a few cold chunks of shredded cheese. Beans were sour. Granted it was almost closing time but I guess they'd rather make a quick sale and have a bad review than a returning customer.

    Came here just before the lunch rush and it was already a bit busy. I really wanted a fat burrito and this place does not mess around. We ordered the Cali and Nak burritos and both were formidable. Huge, heavy, and stuffed with meat. I struggled a bit to finish my burrito and I'm super pregnant. Mexican husband is always super suspicious about any new Mexican joint and he was happy with what they had here. Can recommend and will be back the next time we're in the area.

    Food was awesome and open not like Mexican Cafe which was our 1 Choice Chile Verde off the hook. Asada and carnitas tacos are the bomb

    Want a gigantic burrito? This is the place. The meat is well made. I thought it was slightly too salty, but the others didn't think so. I just read the health standards and hoping it has improved since 2020 because them not being as clean kinda grosses me out.

Located in the front/beginning of Old Town so you will have to find street parking. We went on a Friday morning around 11am so parking wasn't an issue. We opted to sit outside their raised patio and it was nice out. They weren't too busy, maybe a couple tables inside with guests. After we came, people started trickling in as well and sat outside. We were seated right away and needed a couple more minutes to look over the menu. After that, it took the young waiter awhile to get back to us and I went to the bathroom I saw him standing and just conversing with another coworker. No problem because another worker named Juan ended up coming to the rescue and was our waiter the whole time from start to finish. He was very attentive and checked up on his often so he was super friendly. Thank you, Juan! We ordered some cocktails (hibiscus margarita and Mexican mule) but they were more so just sweet and I honestly didn't taste any alcohol. They offer complimentary chips and salsa which is nice and Juan even refilled that for us. We ordered carne asada loaded fries, fiesta platter with all beef, and quesabirria tacos. Not going to lie they are on the pricier side but given the location of tourists it is understandable. But the good thing is it tastes just like local Mexican drive thrus like back in SD. They brought out extra hot sauce that I requested. They mentioned 1 was mild and the other was spicy. There was a nice kick and both were well flavored and not just watery and tasteless. We really enjoyed all the food items we got. We would definitely be back!
