Fantastic Find: Cocina de Ledezma…read more After a hike, I was on the hunt for some great local Mexican food and found La Cocina de Ledezma--what a gem! The food was incredible and tasted fresh. I tried three different tacos and a Quesabirria, each packed with great flavor. Their birria was especially impressive--it's hard to find good birria! To top it off, there's a coffee cart across the lot with refreshing drinks. I had a Lotus energy drink, and my girl had a spritzer--both hit the spot after a long day outdoors. The service was as amazing as the food. The brother at the register was super friendly, sharing how they prepare everything with care, and his sister in the truck was incredibly sweet and courteous. The two girls at the coffee cart were also lovely and added to the welcoming atmosphere. Though I live far, I'll definitely be coming back. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for delicious food and great service.

Look for the flags directly after the rite aid. You go up a small hill and it's to the left. The person taking our order was so nice when taking our order. We asked more questions than most and he never seemed bothered. More happy to answer everything about the food. Mentioned it was a family business and they are there every Saturday and Sunday! We will definitely be back!

I don't know if it's just me, but the food here is delicious; it was my first time eating here, and…read moreI was blown away. I loved the *pozole* they make here--and the *mangonada*, oh my God! The service was excellent--very attentive--and the atmosphere was quite calm.

The problem: four workers. A waiter, two waitresses and one cook. We kind of knew it would be slow…read morebecause we heard a table complaining that their food didn't come out and the waitress was arguing with them about canceling it. But we sat down anyways because we had time to sit and chat, the male waiter took our order and was pretty good about it. But the other two waitresses I hardly even saw and they were mostly chitchatting. I think one of them brought out maybe 5 to 7 drinks in one hour. After we ordered, we got some chips and salsa. We finished that and waited for our food. It took about an hour for all of our food to come out. There were six of us two of us ordered tacos only. Two of us ordered Chilaquiles. One ordered California burrito and one ordered enchiladas. I ordered the Chilaquiles and I enjoyed it, but probably filled up too much on the chips since we waited for so long. There were only four other tables I think there besides us. One table was the group of guys that probably canceled their orders because I never saw them get any food. Another table of four that got their food while we waited. A table of one. And possible one more table but I don't remember. Overall, we spent about two hours there and not because we were sitting and chatting too long. We asked for the check and that took a little while too. I think I would recommend here if you were the only one eating. Or maybe if there was only one other table. One good thing, though, is that all of our food came out at once I suppose. I noticed they didn't have many pictures of their food, so I was going to take some, but since it took so long, I forgot to take pictures.

While on the surface the menu may not seem as vast, I can assure you the reader that quality of the…read morefood is worth the cost. The freshness of the fare is great for whatever you order. The staff is friendly and willing to help with whatever you need. As for the place itself, it is very chill with a laid back feel. The only thing I can give a heads up for is that the fact that the methods of pay are predominantly cashless. Small thing, I know, but I thought it would be only sporting to note. That aside, you are in for a great time.

I HOPE SOMEONE FROM MANAGEMENT SEES THIS... WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?…read more My son & I stop at least 1-2 times per week for breakfast burritos & we stop for lunch often as well, it has been very inconsistent. I keep thinking maybe the usual cook is on vacation on something, but it's only getting worse. When I was in a few days ago another couple were complaining about their order & they informed me that a when a certain gentleman is working they won't even order anymore because he is making the burrito's half the size they use to. Which is the problem we are having also. They raised the price to 15 dollars a burrito & most days they are coming out half the size they use to & with hardly any meat & mostly potatoes. I didn't the 15 which is ridiculous for a breakfast burrito, but I agree with the couple that was complaining, I'm not going to pay 15 for half the size, when I can go down the street & get two for 8 bucks. The food is so hot and miss also. I love the taquito's platter for lunch. One day I will order and it will be great & the next they are so burned & hard as rock I can't even chew them. THE LADY CASHIER IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL...I DO HOPE MANAGEMENT SEES THIS & GET'S TRAINING ALL STAFF ON HOW TO BE CONSISTENT & HOW TO MAKE EVERYTHING CORRECTLY, SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING TO GET EVERY TIME. I love to support small businesses/mom & pop places, but if a change doesn't happen, then I will take my business down the road.

I spoke to the lady who took my order and she explained to me how this is the same "Aliberto's"…read morethat I grew up eating. And so I am giving it 5 Stars based on the Carne Asada nostalgic appeal.

Ladron Lmao…read more$27 for 2 machaca burritos when food4less sells a dozen eggs for under $3 I turned around and walked out. In a town with over 30 Mexican places lots and lots of places can get 2 machaca burritos for under $20 with tax and out the door. Hell you can even 2 pancakes 2 eggs 2 bacon and 2 sausage. Won't be back what a joke. Again a dozen eggs is less than $3!!! Lmao

The agua de piña is our favorite but one thing that really bothered me was the no refill policy. Even if you charge a $1 for a refill I think it's fair.

Like you and everyone else I've been coming here for years it's a staple in Escondido…read more The prices have gone up and the quality of the food has gone down tremendously. The meat is just not good it seems like it's always old but it's probably just cheaper meat. Their carne asada burritos come with lettuce and guacamole only btw. I had gone there with my brother and if u ever see the younger gal with glasses ringing u up walk away! She has an ugly attitude idk what her problem was lol she up charged us $1.25 on each burrito for wanting pico de gallo instead of lettuce! I went today and ordered a burrito with pico and guess what, no up charge. They're scammers I mean it's cash only they can charge whatever they want whenever they want but they are genuinely charging everyone differently for different things it's fucked up. The food is just not that good anymore it was superior maybe 10 years ago. Perhaps they need an audit There are better priced options with better meat at other places, FOR SURE. I gave two stars cuz sometimes u catch a nice person at the window and guac was fresh.
