I have said this before. Being in Southern San Diego we are just spoiled when it comes to Mexican cuisine. We have so many taco shops in the area. So many that they even outnumber 7-11's. So we have a lot of options. Rambertos is a taco shop that has been in the Spring Valley area very early on. It has lasted the test of time. Since then years later, a Jack In The Box was built next to it and after that just recently a Yoshinoya on the other side. One of the reasons Rambertos has lasted so long is the consistent tasting food. The quality control is very good. Right now it's my family's go to taco shop. With a large menu, there are a lot of choices to pick from. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, sopas and carne asada nachos are among the things you can order. Early morning to late night; you don't even have to leave your car. Just use the drive thru window. With so many taco shops around. What makes Rambertos so special? Well first they have been here for years. So they have to be doing something right. With so many changes all around. Rambertos still remains a constant. Secondly, the taco shop serves some of the best Mexican cuisine in the Valley. Thirdly, with everything from gas to groceries. Everything is expensive. Rambertos is affordable and won't break the bank. So support local businesses especially the good ones. Rambertos is exceptional. read more

Ramberto’s Mexican Food - Beef rolled tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I've had the food here before it's OK. It's nothing great. But it's OK. However, this evening was quite surprising to me. A carne asada burrito and a cheese quesadilla cost me $30. That is expensive. I usually pay about $30 when I do Delivery. But this was a big disappointment. Not sure that I'll frequent this Taco shop in the future. In addition, they charged me for using my debit card. I don't think that's legal. I know they charge you for credit, but not debit. The lady at the window was kind and courteous. But I can't see myself spending $30 for a Casa burrito. read more

Ramberto’s Mexican Food - Carne asada burrito, cheese quesadilla & agua de Jamaica - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I went to this place for the first time tonight. I ordered a carnitas flying saucer. The carnitas have no flavor, they taste like old oil, the other toppings are regular. Their salsa is basic not much flavor to it. The one thing I was flabbergasted about was, I ordered a side of rice, they gave me a large sauce cup of rice for $2.99. My whole meal was about $20. Needless to say, this was my first and last time I spend money here. Super disappointed. 100% DO NOT recommend. read more

***READ these reviews and take them to heart*** THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF With the worst food EVER for what they RIP you OFF FOR! What makes the worst taco shop in San Diego! 1.) Rambertos Spring Valley: $6.00 Bucks for a beef taco, with the shell fried so hard you'll need to have your dentist check you teeth for any cracks after eating one of these nasty tacos. Can I get a side of extra runny oil please... Oh, I see you've already added that! UGH. Make sure you ask for extra napkins- theirs are smaller than a Kleenex and with all the free EXTRA OIL gushing out of your tacos you'll need a sheet to clean up! 2.) Rambertos Spring Valley: $11.90 for (5) Rolled tacos, These rolled tacos have the diameter of a about a quarter inch....I've NEVER seen such perthitic size of rolled tacos! I can get much better frozen rolled tacos for Vons freezer section! So, I'm still trying to understand way someone would put "half of a broken fried taco shell on top of the rolled tacos" and then cover it with lettuce and cheese ?!?!?!? that was REALLY Special! NOT! 3.) Rambertos Spring Valley: $8.99 (YES) ($8.99) For a cheese Quesadilla ! WHAT A RIP OFF! Out of the WHOLE ORDER That was about the only thing that was worth ingesting! But the price sure made you cherish very bite that's for sure! Rambertos Spring Valley: Order total= $48.42 for (1) Quesadilla, (1) order of 5 rolled garbage tacos, and (3) Beef garbage rock hard break apart beef taco's WTF Seriously?!?!?!?! Thank goodness I didn't want ANYTHING ADDED OR EXTRA that would have been even more for any additional item request. So, if you'd like to spend your hard earned money, and want the WORST possible Mexican food that is beyond ridiculously over priced in San Diego GO HERE You WILL Not be disappointed! -10 star's for Rambertos Spring Valley : Just close down your a disgrace to San Diego! read more

Smallest burrito I've ever had in my life for $15 was such a rip off super pissed I stopped by here

This places is nasty had a cali burrito Thick fries is a no go for me also it was dry I didn't finish it. But will never go their again

I can here to get Carter asada fries came and and was started eat and realized that a lotta my fries where really burnt I called to complain to tell them the lady to me to come back and they will make new ones and when I got there they were rude and when they looked at the phrase, they asked for a receipt and I told them I didn't have it. They said since I ate half of the meat, they can make me a burrito. There was a price difference, but didn't give me my change back. And when they gave me my burrito, there was little Teno meat in there. read more

I ordered a shrimp burrito and asked for sour cream and cheese on it. The price on the menu is $14.99 for that burrito. So when they game me a total of $22 i was a bit thrown off, but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. I figured the quality might be worth it. I was so wrong. To begin $2.99 for sour cream and another $2.99 for cheese is ridiculous but to get a half A$$ed wrapped burrito that could barely be held to eat make it a 2 star. It was as if the burrito was made and then unwrapped to add the cheese and sour cream. To make things worse I asked for red and green salsa, I figured id get 2 of each. I was wrong. they gave me three, 2 red and 1 green. The worst part of it all is the fact that it was the first time I have ever been able to count the shrimp as I was eating, there was only a total of 8 shrimp. If you are goin to charge a premium for your food, you should make sure its worth it. i will definitely not be going here again, nor do I recommend anyone else does. read more

Order incomplete in drive thru and the lady charged me everything. Got home and missing items. !!!!

Horrible service. Tried to charge us $40 for a bean and cheese burrito and carne asada fries with sour cream. I'm cool paying $28 but $40 that's insane. Not to mention the attitude. Jeeeez. Never again. I'm letting everyone I know to never come here. Could've done better. Shame on them!!! Just a young man with a young family trying to make a living. read more

I'm so sad to give this place less than 5 stars because they used to be my favorite late night taco shop but they switched their fries from thin cut to thick cut and fries were soggy. They charge for additional salsas and limes but it's hard out here so I understand. I still gave 4 stars because they're open 24-hours, the food was piping hot, and their salsa verde was really good. The carne asada fries came with creamy guacamole, carne asada, and shredded cheddar cheese. I recommend adding sour cream but they do charge extra. read more

This place used to be good back in the day now they charge an arm and leg for everything that should already come with or on the burrito/carbe asada fries.... Carbe asada fries used to come with cheese sour cream, guacamole, and pico or it's only cheese and guacamole and cost 18$ get it with every else it's supposed to come with total ends up being like 24$ wtf! Smh this place is a$$ cheeks read more

First of all carful with this place food can very sometimes it can be good and get what you expect and other times it's just sad and disappointing first of all prices are a scam the billboard if you order threw drive threw the prices there are not correct for example a burrito it says $13.99 but then they charge you $16.37 wow right but actually they haven't updated there board so really the burrito is $14.99 plus tax is 16 for example the picture I took is for just one taco and it was $7.06 somthing like that but it's over $7 dollars the point is a taco there says it's $4.99 it's crazy expensive and plus the food was cold as well my wife had to microwave it's just sad and disappointing that there just scamming there customers and trying to take a few bucks here and there just be careful people read more

Ramberto’s Mexican Food - Size of Cali Burrito with everything. - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I'm Not sure how they are still in business. I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito and it was $10.76 . Let me explain.... My chorizo looked and tasted like dried up ground beef. It was just eggs and whatever this excuse for meat was. Nothing else. No real flavors. I basically had to douse my burrito in the red and green sauce that they gave me to add any sort of flavor to it. The only decent tasting thing about this burrito, is the tortilla. He'd be better off going next door to Jack in The box and getting their breakfast burrito. read more

Ramberto’s Mexican Food - "chorizo" breakfast burrito - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This place just sucks! 11 bucks for a bean and cheese burrito, and they charge extra for some hot sauce, I hope they close down

Usually a miss with this place. They are either always closed for "cleaning" or have a very bad attitude. I arrived at the drive thru with no cars in front or behind me and the lady at the speaker expected me to order as soon as I got there without a chance to look at the menu and kept rushing me. She also didn't allow me to substitute anything. I was willing to pay extra for substituting carne asada for chicken. Horrible service. Aside from horrible service, the prices are ridiculous. read more

Cali burrito is decent but everything else horrible. Who in the hell charges for salsa. Especially mediocre salsa. Their hours of operation are only thing keeping them in business read more

I hate giving bad reviews, literally, hate it! So, I will start with something positive - the rolled tacos were cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, that's just about it. I requested two orders of three (3) rolled tacos with cheese but didn't want the cheese. According to the current menu, this item is $3.99 each. The lady asked if I wanted cheese and guacamole. This addition changes the order and is now $4.99 each. At first, I agreed to the guacamole but, on the side, but still refused cheese. Then I changed my mind and returned to my original order of plain rolled tacos - no cheese or guacamole. The woman asked very sharply, "You just want plain?" I responded, "Yes, plain, no cheese." She asked again, with more attitude, and I answered her again the same way. Why is she making a judgement call on how I order rolled tacos? Clearly, she did because I was charged the price for the rolled tacos with cheese AND guacamole - $4.99 - not the $3.99, with cheese only (and I didn't get the cheese!). When I questioned it, she treated me like I was stupid and told me the price didn't include sales tax. Really? The menu, receipt, and pictures of the food are proof I wasn't charged accurately. I wasn't treated fairly nor was I treated well. My family has spent untold amounts of money there over the decades. This is one small order - and the $2 plus tax difference is not a ton of money - but it could make a huge difference to someone else. How you treat customers - and whether you keep or lose them - is everything. Remember that the next time you're faced with this situation. read more

Decided to stop by RAMBERTO'S TACO SHOP after a long drive. Beforehand we checked RAMBERTO'S TACO SHOP menu to see if we liked how they prepared carne asada fries and cali burritos. We paid 14.99 for fries 10.99 for a burrito. Our food didn't come as described. I may be hangry right now, but for taco shop prices like this I'm pretty disappointed. The cali burrito was missing sour cream and avocado. It was only carne asada, cheese, fries. :( Carne asada fries was missing sour cream and had a sprinkle of cheese on the corner. :( We were hungry and had a far drive back so dealt with it, and drenched our food in mediocre salsa. Thanks RAMBERTO'S TACO SHOP I feel pretty ripped off. read more

Yeaaa, I usually don't make a point of leaving reviews but my lordt! Besides being open later than most (they say 24 hours but that's not true either)...and even then go to Jack in the Box next door. Every. Single. Time. I've been here it sucks (I gave it a good 5 goes); no matter what you get, it's sub par--especially for the price. I'm telling you, if it's 3am and nothing is open eat a microwave quesadilla and save your money read more

They have horrible customer service my mom went up there to get some carne Asada fries and asked for extra sauce and the lady working there gave her attitude for no reason they earned every bad review they have read more

Paid over $20 for a carne asada plate and everything is cold. The only thing hot is the tortillas. The food is flavorless and boring. Definitely not affiliated with Robertos. Wish we had Robertos here. Rambertos sucks cold carne! Update, I went back and made them give me a refund. The cook tried to deny serving cold food. But the cashier was nice and apologized. She tried to make the excuse that the Pico de Gallo makes the plate cold. I was having none of that lame excuses. Never going back! read more

First of all this place does not deserve the bad rating it has. I come here at least once a month for their breakfast burritos and they are always so delicious. It's an amazing size burrito for 9.99, while other places like lolita's charges like 20 dollars for half the size and not as much volume. These burritos are freshly made too and you can tell, not greasy and nasty at all. When i come the service is always fast, i never wait more then 12 mins. I ordered 3 burritos today and i waited 7 mins max. I put my family on because of the price and the size and how fresh it is, not from other taco shops or other burrito joints where it's so greasy and small. I always see the same lady helping me and she's always smiling at me and greeting me with a smile. Like i said this place doesn't deserve the hate it gets, it's my favorite burrito place. Definitely need to try their breakfast burritos! read more

Ramberto’s Mexican Food - Breakfast burrito with bacon and sausage - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Taking 2 off because this is not the best Cali burrito in the area. Coming from LA, but haven't had any Mexican food from home, SoCal in general, due to the fact I am no longer home. This place is aight. If I were drunk I bet it would be the best, but barely a pass for my taste buds as a California Native. So it was one star off for the price because it looked more like a burrito that is under $10, and taste. read more

First of all we arent from here so when the lady told us we cant pay separately rudely it was the first trigger, then she wont give us more salsa... like they literally gave us 4 for 4 meals... Then here's the rice!! almost 4$ for this shit? dont play with me. California burrito lowkey bomb tho but i heard their meat be dry sometimes but we were supee hungover and just needed something to eat and this kind of hit the spot but ive DEF had better. read more
