    Carne Asada Fries
    John M.

    Absolutely delicious carne asada fries. Melted cheese, great flavorful carne asada, guacamole on point. Fries were crispy, not mushy like some places. Lady who took my order was super nice, greeted me right away. Lots of drink options. I will definitely be returning for more food and dessert!

    We stopped here after a track meet today and this place was really clean and the cashier who I believe was the owner was so welcoming! We ordered a Carne Asada burrito for me and my son to share and it was PERFECT! A great ratio of meat, sour cream and cheese and the tortilla was fresh! It was really good not expensive at all we spent about $16 on the burrito and a can of soda which to us was a good price! The green salsa was our favorite a hint of spice and creamy! We really enjoyed our burrito and when we were leaving the worker gave us two Mazapan candy's to enjoy! A great way to feel welcomed with good food! Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area

    Quesadora - yummmm
    Marco D.

    Here we go! New item exclusive. Got to try a few of these. Not in the menu yet. Its called Quesadora! Its is new and unique to this shop. When you are there order these and try it for yourself. Here is my review of today's visit and tasting. 1. Best customer service from any shop out there. Owner is always positive and gives great advice. 2. Quasadora is masa fillednwith cheese along with a huge bed of carne asada, coleslaw slaw, cotija cheese and sour cream. Wow. It is so good. Its a fusion or carne asada taco and quesadilla which speaks my name!!! Hope this gets introduced soon! Its a must to get here. Must!! 3. This place is always clean. Can't go wrong with this place. Always so neat!! Overall, another 5 star. Love this place abs what they are doing. Simply amazing. I appreciate Los Pinos and having you in our community. Thank you.

    Rolled tacos with a chile

    Live by here and always wanted to try but let me just say wow price is decent but quality is good everything actually tastes fresh and my brew favorite place for rolled tacos

    Carne Asada (8 oz)
    Jack C.

    Great place to have a meal! Food is on par with the better San Diego taco shops, but the service is what's worth coming back for. The selection was huge and the food was fantastic. Carne Asada plate, tacos, and all the burritos showcase why San Diego has some of the best Mexican food there is. Prices are cheap and portions are huge. The man behind the register is incredibly kind and makes conversation with anyone who walks in. He is a genuinely good man doling out great food and heartfelt advice. Plenty of parking and very quiet and clean tables.

    I ordered the 5 rolled tacos because those are my favorite food item to order especially here in SD . George' and his team are very nice and accommodating. I even got a free bag or animal cookies ! Awesome

    Steak Fajita Burrito

    Wow! All the was from Dallas and looking forward some real Mexican food that was clean and valuable. This place, especially George, was amazing. Had the steak fajita burrito and it FAR exceeded expectations. Won't be disappointed and it's a great business. Great customer service. Well done guys

    Adobada Combo Plate
    Esther T.

    I got the adobada plate with corn tortillas and an El Diablo burrito. While it looked good, with big portions, the food was unfortunately just okay for me. The plate was not very flavorful and while the adobada tasted fine, it was not hot at all when I ate it (within 10 minutes of getting it). Their guacamole tastes fresh, but once again lacks enough flavor for me. The refried beans were strangely dry and tasted bland. The corn tortillas were unfortunately very tough and not very soft but they look homemade and taste fine. Similarly, the burrito was just fine, but it wasn't that spicy, which is disappointing. We did ask what was in it, and it seems the only spice comes from sriracha sauce which is already extremely mild of a hot sauce. So we didn't expect it to be that spicy, but I wish they would make an actual "El Diablo" burrito that's actually spicy....for Mexican food. The highlights of this place is definitely the salsa. Their green salsa is delicious and packs a punch. It's very spicy and it made my plate much more enjoyable. The red salsa is a more tomato based one, which was refreshing and sweet but not very spicy. Their customer service is also good, guy at the counter was very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for our food.

    Wanted to try a new taco shop and was greatly disappointed. I called to place my order over the phone, I specifically asked what comes in their California burrito, no mention of pico. I pick up my order, arrive home and the burrito is filled with pico not to mention the burrito was so loosely wrapped it just fell apart. Don't think I'll be back!

    Food is decent but the guy at counter went off on a political rant. That's a stupid thing to do. I won't be going back.

    Really good Carne Asada burrito. Paid a little bit more for extra Pico. The Habinero hot sauce is killer. Good flavor on both. Will be back.

I got the Chicken Enchiladas, it came with a side of black beans. I loved their verde sauce that the enchiladas are smothered in, both the sauce and chicken had amazing flavor. Sauce was citrusy which I loved in a verde chili, overall Id definitely order it again. My boyfriend ordered the Huevos Rancheros which came with a side of beans, rice and flour tortillas. I didnt taste it but it looked amazing and my boyfriend enjoyed it as well, he finished every bite! I got to try his fresh flour tortillas and they were very tasty as well, I love how fresh everything is! Ambience inside was gorgeous and really love how festive it looked.

We were having great conversation and catching up, just the normal things you do when you have a "girl date". Anyways, we ordered another shot to take as we were vibing out and enjoying our ceviche when we were told that "we've had too much", since we had not yet ordered our entrees. I have been here more than 20xs in the last 6 months. I've been HAMMERED, I've been sober, you get the point. Never once have I been told of this "policy". Never once have I been cut off or warned. From the second we got here, the bartender was rude. He wasn't the main bartender, but that's neither here nor there. Every interaction we had, he never made eye contact, never engaged, never NOT seemed annoyed to be there. Anyways, after being told that we needed to order entrees before we were able to get another beverage, I asked to speak to the manager. She came over a few minutes later trying to explain responsible service to us...my best friend and I are bartenders and have been since we were in our 20's. We're now in our 40's and are not sloppy. Anyways!! I am not sure where this came from; had we been acting intoxicated and embarrassing, not another word would have been said. We would have left with our tails tucked and many apologies would have been given. We will never go back. This "policy" has never been enforced in all of the times I have patronized the restaurant, and this fully ruined our evening. We understand responsible service and how to appropriately gauge a customer's level of intoxication and never once were we acting in a manner that would warrant such actions from their employees. Very disappointed by this experience.
