    Had some time to kill and decided to grab a breakfast burrito. They'll make it with anything you want. We just did bacon, egg, cheese and potatoes (French fries). It was a good burrito once you got to the middle. There was just all tortilla at the top. But the tortilla was delicious. Overall good burrito just wished the filling was evened out. Good service and disability access at the counter. Parking lot is a good size easy to find parking.

    Calilfornia Burrito

    Right off Aero. Large parking lot. Staff gruff but efficient. Spanish news station played loudly on the TV on the wall. Tried: Cali burrito - decent. Jam packed burrito. Meat a little gristly. Salsa - bottle for in restaurant eaters. It was kind of gross looking. Tasted meh. Rolled taco combo - good. A tad too much sour cream. This place was a okay. Might come back to try their breakfast burritos.

    5 Rolled Tacos Combination
    John L.

    Located 2 blocks off the 15 at Aero Drive. This plave shares a center with Jack in the Box, Luxe Boba, Jersey Mikes, a sushi restaurant, and more. There was once a Sizzler in this center as well (for those who remember it). Parking can get packed sometimes, but I haven't seen it get that bad in a long time. Service was okay and the dining area has a lot of seating available. 5 rolled tacos had a lot of sour cream. California burrito was about as big as my forearm and really hot when unwrapped from the foil. Food was ok. Salsa, rice, and beans helped.

    Pollo Asado Burrito
    James B.

    Quiet little taco shop tucked off of Aero Dr. Food was good, typical Mexican food. They did have some really good hot sauce in my opinion. My GF did not like it so much.. so you have to go there and try for yourself. Service was good . The man behind the counter was really friendly and kind. It was a random stop for me but if Im ever hungry and in the area again Ill definitely stop there again.

    Super Fries

    Large portion size but not much flavor in the meat. I had a super carne fries and my wife had a super carne nachos. I think the fries were crispy but the meat lacked flavor. Food did come out really quick though.

    REVIEW IN ENGLISH: Friendly and professional staff. I ordered 5 beef rolled tacos and they did not disappoint. The prices are fair, and understandable. I would definitely come back here again. ***** RESEÑA EN ESPAÑOL: Personal amable y profesional. Pedí 5 tacos de ternera enrollada y no me decepcionaron. Los precios son justos y comprensibles. Definitivamente volvería aquí de nuevo.

    Roberto's has long been a San Diego favorite hole in the wall that grew throughout the county over the last 40 years or so. This one was interesting. The guy at the counter came across as on ogre - no smoke, no greeting, no thank you, just, "ready," when he was done cooking my Marilu Burrito. I got him to crack a smile , though, when I told him, "Tu burrito is Muchas grande!" The Marilu Burrito comes with grilled chicken, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, onions and fries! Yuh-mee!

    Their carne asada burritos are huge and SO delicious. The staff is super friendly, and the prices are super reasonable. Love the vibrant atmosphere and outdoor seating. Highly recommend the horchata and guacamole too! A San Diego staple for sure!

    Carne Asada Burritos

    This is my first time in San Diego and have always heard to try a California burrito. Me and my co workers went to Roberto's for lunch and the service was amazing along with the generous portion sizes. This truly was an amazing experience to try some local cuisine!

    Great tacos here they were flavorful and a good portion. I got the adobada and pollo asada tacos. The rolled tacos were nice fresh and delicious as well. Friendly service and the place was clean.

    Breakfast burrito with ham
    Erica C.

    11/3/23 - I called in a phone order to go for a breakfast burrito. I was asked if I wanted ham, bacon or sausage. I went for the ham. I arrived 10 minutes later and it was ready to go. Total cost was $9.65. It was big again. I could only eat half of it. There was so much ham in there it was crazy. Had some eggs and small bacon in there. Total of 4 stars. I liked the Omelette burrito far better last time I was here. It was more flavorful and had more eggs in it. See photos.

    Size
    Jay G.

    Average on taste. Speed of service was awesome and customer service. Cannot beat price $13. Salsa is decent. Portion size got them 5 stars. One burrito can feed two people. Environment is great family owned business.

    Bacon Burrito Breakfast with added beans.  Has Eggs, Cheese, Bacon, beans and potato.

They also had some really great vegetarian options. The tostadas, veggie tacos, and flautas were all awesome and full of flavor. The margaritas were reasonably strong, which was nice. And definitely save room for the churros -- they were so good! The only thing that wasn't quite our preference was the queso fundido.

I picked a place off Google but when we landed there we were not comfortable stopping to park, so we looked again and decided to check out La Puerta not realizing it was in the Gaslight District. I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)

Tacos didn't come with consumé but they were juicy enough without it. Good flavor but tortillas did start to fall apart. Margaritas for $5 are a good deal and tasted fresh. Ambiance is upscale Mexican and I think it hits, at least for happy hour! Guac and salsa prices were too high for my liking ($13 and $10, respectively) especially as a happy hour item, but to each their own. Overall 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 with a $5 marg as the kicker to round up vs down (for guac and salsa prices).

    This is my first time dining inside this California Burrito Restaurant…read more I was driving around in this area and I saw this California Burrito Restaurant and I wanted to give this place a try. I enjoy eating authentic Mexican cuisine. I parked my car in their parking lot then I walked inside their front door. I talked to the owner Caesar and asked him How long has he been in business at this Starling Drive location in San Diego, CA? Caesar said he's been operating his California Burrito Restaurant business for 20 years now. Caesar also said to me that he works with his wife and grown children at his Mexican restaurant every day. My order was placed by Caesar today for my lunch time meal at 12:30 PM. I ordered one Beans and Cheese Burrito. The price is $7.50. Then I had to pay a tip of 20 percent that came up to $1.25. The tax was $1.50. My total purchase today was $9.25. I had to wait at least 30 minutes later until my order number 109 was called to the front counter today. There was non stop walk in customers coming into this California Burrito Restaurant at the lunch hour between 12:30 AM to 2:30 PM today. Their majority of their customers were of Mexican descent and I saw only 3 Black People placing their orders with Caesar today. I was the only Asian person ordering from this California Burrito Restaurant this afternoon. I also noticed 2 Nurses picking up their orders today who work for Sharp Memorial Hospital today. This man and woman nurse were of Caucasian descent. It's interesting for me to get to know the population of people who are living nearby this Starling Drive location. Caesar called my order number 109 today. Then I was served a really HUGE Beans and Cheese Burrito. I also drank cold ice water today. It was a beautiful day today because the weather conditions were very cool and cloudy. I sat down at this window seat so I could see the outside. The Beans and Cheese Burrito was very tasty the beans were refried and thete was a very generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. The Tortilla was heated up and slightly toasted. This Beans and Cheese Burrito was a HUGE Size. I wasn't sure that I had an appetite to finish eating this Beans and Cheese Burrito but the flavor was amazing! I kept taking small bites on this Beans and Cheese Burrito for my lunch time meal this afternoon. I also received excellent customer service from Caesar and the rest of his family I saw was working very hard in the back kitchen area preparing and making their very popular Carne Asada Burritos. I also saw Caesar and an older lady sweeping up the floor and also mopping up the floor inside their front entrance to their California Burrito Restaurant Caesar told me to come in again soon to try their Steak Carne Asada Burrito. This item is the most popular food in their California Burrito Menu. I told Cesar the owner 3 I will dine inside his restaurant again soon. I love Carne Asada Burritos.
