Five of us for lunch time. Found a great table outside in the shade. Ordered four Carne Asada burritos and one Bean burrito sans cheese. Service was fast, and the Burritos were grande. Carne Asada burritos were as good as they get, chock full of quality steak and bigger than usual, matching the price paid. A repeatable experience. read more

My husband had a mission to have his shrimp burrito from here. He had them here in the past, but it had been awhile. So today was the day to take care of that craving. I selected the 3 rolled tacos with just cheese on top. I ordered the Jarrett's Guava drink. Hubby was quite disappointed with his selection. It had too much sauce that it over powered the flavors from all of the other ingredients. He had opened up the burrito so that he could evenly distribute the sauce with the other ingredients. My tacos had good flavor. The meat a little on the dry side, but then again I didn't have all the toppings. I just got a little of the sauces at the condiment bar and dipped the tacos in. The bottled guava drink was good, not too sweet. We came in a bit after 7pm so. As we were finishing up our food they started mopping the floors. So the place is very clean. Plenty of seating indoor with a few tables outside. The AC was working very well, that on this rainy day, my husband actually went to retrieve his jacket. I would come back and try some other things on the menu. This location is off a busy street and business park so it does get quite busy at times. Parking could be busy but there is also some street parking available. Customer service was friendly and helpful. read more

This place is getting a reputation for their big burritos. They are good, but I want you to check out their crunchy tacos. They are underrated, especially the potato taco.

Showed up on a Friday evening around 7 pm to try this spot for the first time. Have heard they have one of the better California burritos so gave that a try. The burrito was massive and was definitely up there with one of the better I've had in San Diego. They had a solid salsa bar, with salsas that actually packed a good amount of spice. It was crowded when I arrived and they had my burrito ready in about 5 minutes. This all sounds like the makings of a 5 star place, but we can't ignore the price. The California burrito came out to just shy of $20. I respect that it was large and good tasting, but that is straight robbery. In looking at other items on their menu, it seems that's a theme here. $7.50 for a taco, I mean have we just lost the plot? read more

We went in on a quiet saturday morning after dropping off my car to get windows tinted next door and it filled up quickly. We were a little shy trying this place because it looked so empty but shortly after ordering so many people came in I swear there was no spot open to sit. The burritos were huge and delicious. We've gone back again for some takeout and again we're not disappointed. Definitely would recommend. read more

I've had burritos in SD, Ventura and the central coast...these have been my favorite by far. They're massive, a great price and taste phenomenal. I've been 4 times now and the consistency is there. Grab a burrito and hit the beach. Oh, and the carne asada fries are huge. I order the regular size when there's four of us, the half size for two. There isn't a ton of seating inside so I usually take it to go. Very friendly staff and I've never waited long for the food. read more

Ive heard this location has a contender for SoCals Best California Burrito. So naturally, I stopped by for a breakfast burrito. It was quite busy with takeout orders so I suggest placing an order in advance to avoid a unnecessary wait. The Chorizo Breakfast Burrito was mediocre with no distinguishing ingredients. They charge extra for cheese so I skipped it hoping the eggs, chorizo and burrito would suffice. It was large and took over 30 bites to finish but my only longlasting memory was how small the eggs were chopped up. I will have to return for the California Burrito next time. read more

I have always come to this restaurant because they consistently serve excellent food. However, I was very disappointed with my experience today. When I received my order, it was missing the guacamole and sour cream. I had also asked for no cheese, but instead it seemed like my request wasn't followed properly. I waited for assistance after mentioning the issue, but no one brought the missing items. This was very upsetting because I've always had such good experiences here before. I hope they can pay closer attention to special requests in the future. read more

You know the food is good when the restaurant is filled with locals and the line is out the door! I brought my friend here. She used to live in San Diego and wanted that perfect hole in the wall sort of Mexican food with an amazing salsa bar. San Luis Mexican Food checked all the boxes! Despite being a busy Sunday afternoon, our food arrived quickly. We grabbed a seat at the outdoor picnic table. The Carne Asada burrito was the size of a newborn! We barely made a dent in it, and it was so great to have the leftovers the next day. Notably, the tortilla was amazing. It was the perfect texture, size, crispiness, and chewiness. We also tried the rolled tacos and the quesadilla, which were fantastic. The salsa bar has many options and the hot carrots are delightful. I can't say enough good stuff about San Luis. Of course, the prices are in line with California prices! read more

I'm so glad I finally tried this place! I always pass by on the way home from Carlsbad or Oceanside and I was always curious why this Mexican food place was located around a business plaza. I took a good look at their menu, saw a Surf & Turf burrito and was instantly sold! My husband said he tried this place 7 years ago and mentioned the burritos were massive. He was not kidding! We decided to order the Surf & Turf California burrito to share and 2 potato tacos. On Monday's, it's $2.99/taco which was pretty good for happy hour specials! The inside was clean and small. Serviced pretty quickly and the lady at the register offered to get our salsas for us. While we waited for our food, we just decided to grab our own sauces so that we could try them all. There were about 6 different salsa combinations: 2 mild red salsas, 2 green verde salsas I assume that were medium, and 2 orange salsas which were the spiciest. We got the food fairly quick and the burrito was just... impressive! The photos don't do it justice but it was like double the width and slightly longer than my forearm. I was happy that they actually cut the burrito in half already for you which was a plus. Potato tacos were great :) very crispy, fresh and lots of cotija cheese and lettuce. The burrito was phenomenal! The white sauce was delicious and everything inside like the shrimp & steak were cooked really well. I probably saved myself leftovers for 2 days with this burrito. I never found my go-to Surf & Turf burrito place here in North County San Diego but now I finally found it here! read more

I was sure I was lost even when Google Maps cheerfully informed me I had arrived. It's located on the edge of a business park and yes, I had arrived. Don't complain about the prices. Yes, some of the burritos cost around $14 each, or even a little more, depending on which one you get. But these burritos are giant beasts, weighing nearly two pounds each (yes, I weighed them). They can and should be eaten over two meals which brings the price down to about $7 per burrito. And that's not bad at all. We tried a California burrito which was flavorful and a Surf and Turf burrito was also had decent flavor, mainly from the shrimp. Both burritos had carne asada that was tender but mostly unseasoned. There was also very little filler in the burritos, which was nice. Were the burritos the most flavorful ever? No. But the value was there and I would try something more exotic next time. There were a lot of Spanish-speaking folks here and that means someone in the kitchen is doing something right. The serve-yourself salsa bar was on point. Some of the sauces were mild and some were as fiery as Hell. Good luck to you figuring out which is which. The bar also had beautiful pickled carrots. Stupidly, I forgot to take any pictures. Just too hungry, I guess. read more

They are very sweet there. Everything I've ordered is delicious and correct. The process orders very quickly.

A few things I love about SL is that their burrito's haven't gotten smaller and their prices haven't gotten crazy like most places. Their carne asada is still top notch and their sauces are still nicely varied and flavorful, but what blows my mind is that it's actually called "EL" San Luis. Years I've been coming here, years, years, over a decade. I was so happy when they re did the outside and cut down that tree that was blocking their signage, but "EL". I had no idea, haha. Either the name is wrong or the signage is. Neither matters I still love the place. Service is still quick, still friendly, still a neighborhood spot catty corner to other great places like Mr. Pho, Sushi 4 Reel, Thai Garden all also beloved by me and my family. which makes dinner easy when everyone wants a different place. To me it's very different than Mi Asador, different vibe, different menu/specialty, you can't really compare them that they are both Mexican food. My go to here the Carne Asada burrito, no pico. it's the true test of any spot. No frills, no sauce, no hiding behind sides. The tortilla's never break, large enough for full coverage. I steer clear of their California burrito because while crispy fries are great for the Carne Asada fries, the fluff needs to come thru more and they tend to fry them a tad crispy which can poke through the burrito and it. My overall favorite is the carne asada chips which solves both problems, even reheat. just turns it into chilaquiles the next morning. read more

Vibes: 9/10 Marry/F*ck/Kill: the entire menu, the cali burrito, kill nothing Food: 10/10 Do they have domestic beer??: I don't believe they sell any alcohol here but that's TOTALLY OKAY! Coke fountain, glass bottles too. Overall: - super clean, seems like a small standard crew operates this place which keeps the food consistently delicious and ppl are friendly. - can get busy but they are quick or you can call ahead. You can dine in but for me it's carry out vibe. - offers 1/2 servings of asada fries - the califonia burrito is perfect for most ppl looking for a California burrito. Gorgoeus flour tortilla, asada, crispy thin fries, smooth quac, cheese and sour cream... drooling. Also this thing is huge!!!!! - whole menu is awesome, tortas, taco plates, etc. give this local gem your $$ read more

Long term customer who is highly disappointed and will not return. The Carne Asada was poor quality with zero taste, the side order of guacamole was runny and overpriced, an extra $6.99 cost! No chunks of avocado, it was more like avocado sauce. I honestly could only eat a few bites based upon this! It is nice to get a large burrito, but this low grade of meat is questionable! My husband also agreed and did not eat this either. It appears what was once a great burrito restaurant, has opted to prepare cheap steak! For the price charged for the one burrito and side of guacamole of $21.00 plus tax, definitely not worth it! PS. The steak meat at Chipotle is much higher quality and far less expensive. Gail K.

I LOVE THIS SPOT!!! ONE OF MY FAVS!!! my go to is the adobada fries!!! All the right toppings! I feel like their portions are massive for the price also!

Popular place, but I'm not sure exactly why. Food is OK, but nothing remarkable. What is shocking are the prices: A single beef taco is almost $8 (tax included). Six rolled tacos? $10 + tax. Places charging prices like this will be dead and have to close when the worst recession ever hits the world shortly. read more

San Luis Mexican Food - Menu on March 31, 2025 - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

Ordered two breakfast burritos: one steak and one bacon, for delivery. Burritos were good. Pretty big. Lots of meat in both, although $30 for two burritos, you wouldn't expect them to skimp on the stuffing. Both the red and green salsas were "meh". One thing about delivery orders is you don't get access to the salsa bar (if there is one there, not sure). Wish they would include a couple of extra options. read more

I want to St. Louis Mexican food today I bought a Carna Asada quesadilla and a Carne Asada burrito with cheese and sour cream. I am up in the air about the proper rating for this establishment first and foremost. The quesadilla was amazing. Meat was done right taste great and was actually still juicy. However, the Car Asada burrito came out a great portion size. However, the Carne in the burrito was dry. Could this be that I got the last of one batch and then the first of a new batch I'm not sure so I am up in the air for that. With the reason I gave them three stars was just that I would've easily rated this place for maybe low fives because their salsa was watering and didn't have anybody, but it did have flavor. However salsa is not just preheat for those who truly know how to appreciate the food. It's a condiment it should have somebody to it and it should be amazing which is why I am 50-50 on this house where it to be that to be in the burrito was equally as juicy as the one in the quesadilla and this also was a bit thicker. I would've gladly gave this place a five star rating. Will I go back? Yes it was Service with a smile and that's a big part of what we ask however, I feel as for this review it's lacking consistency so I will go back and order the burrito again in hopes that I can change this to higher review. I don't foresee it going higher than a four star review for me because the officers are on the Water side which means they are making salsa watering it down to try and get more and trying to keep the flavor. They did have good flavor. They just didn't have body. read more

San Luis Mexican Food - Pollo Asado Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

Absolutely delicious Mexican Food! This is my new "go-to" Mexican Food Restaurant in North County. It is located in an industrial park, across from a major strip mall. We pulled into the parking lot and the front of the business does not look like a restaurant. We walked in and the place is very clean, well lighted, nicely decorated, and inviting. There is bar height seating facing out of the windows, a TV for customers, 2 tables for 4, about 4-5 tables for 2, an ordering counter, a salsa & hot carrots/peppers bar, and an order pickup counter. We were greeted by a woman who was very customer service oriented. We placed our orders: 1 Carne Asada Plate, 1 Potato Tacos (2) Plate, and 2 Mexican Cokes (in the tall bottles with real cane sugar). We found a great table for two near the pickup counter. Our food was ready in about 10-15 minutes. The plates were very appealing and the portions were awesome. Everything was cooked perfectly. The guacamole was on point, and the Carne Asada was one of the best that I have had in San Diego County. We will surely come here more often. It is worth the drive and price, for sure. read more

This place bangs. Great food, good portions, reasonable prices. Friendly staff and clean interior.

First time trying this place. Ordered the carne asada nachos and california burrito. Carne asada nachos 9/10: Loved it. Tasted great, better nachos than any other place I have tried nearby. California burrito: 7/10: Pretty big size so good bang for your buck. However, the proportions were a bit off inside. I thought it had too many french fries inside for my liking and not enough meat. The steak tasted pretty good, but the amount of french fries messed with the texture and made the burrito slightly bland. Overall pretty good will definitely get nachos again and look forward to trying other things on the menu. read more

had to drive past a couple of dozen places with the same menu to get there making lunch less a meal than a devout pilgrimage. as a longtime fan (see previous review), I have actively spread the word that SAN LUIS MEXICAN FOOD was the best fast-casual Mex in coastal North County. it's not surprising I took it personally that eating there on Friday was so awful. on one of two positive notes, the place is neat and clean, reflecting some serious pride in ownership, but it was pretty much downhill from there. my eighteen-year-old's BREAKFAST BURRITO was a hot mess. the insides looked like they'd been processed in a blender. at first bite he suggested he didn't remember ordering it "margarita-style." my underwhelming FISH TACO was basically an oversized pile of cabbage and crema blanketing a fish McNugget. the CHIPS and GUACAMOLE with a carne asada add was the biggest disappointment of all. on the other positive note, the kitchen was very generous with the meat. on another not positive note, the meat was very dry and chewy, and I'm almost positive it was leftover from a Cinco de Mayo catering event (and it's early September). I think of "doggie bag" as a figure of speech but litterly took the leftovers (which was pretty much the entire order) home and divided it between four pup bowls. they seemed to enjoy it so expect them to post more positive reviews. read more

Great place for a breakfast burrito! It was a huge sized burrito and I only ate half and it kept me full all day long! I went on a Saturday morning and it was crowded. I waited about 20 min, but good thing I wasn't in a rush. Def come to the place if you're ok with sitting and chillin! The cashier was sweet though. The location was in a place I wasn't expecting- it felt like a business building vs a normal taco shop. It didn't turn me off or make the food less enjoyable, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. The vibe inside felt like a restaurant tho. Lastly, the salsas are AMAZING. Go for the avocado one, green, or red one. The orange salsa was very very spicy so if you love spice, go for that one! read more
