First time ordering from here, and I was honestly disappointed. I ordered the chicken enchiladas,…read moreand on my very first bite, I bit into a bone. That alone was enough to ruin the meal. The rice didn't taste fresh and seemed undercooked, while the beans were bland and lacked flavor. My partner ordered the potato tacos and wasn't a fan either. After reading all the positive reviews, we placed an order expecting a great meal, but unfortunately it just didn't live up to the hype. Would I come back? I'm not sure. Would I recommend this place? Unfortunately, no. I hope this was just an off day, but based on our experience, we were disappointed.

The birria was incredibly delicious--full of flavor, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The restaurant was clean, the service was outstanding, and Jose made our experience even better.

If you're looking for amazing birria and excellent customer service, I highly recommend Mr. Birria. We'll definitely be back again and again!

El Azteca is still number one in my heart. They have my absolute favorite dish at any taco place,…read morethe Rosarito plate, I've even gotten my mom hooked on it. It's delicious chicken with tomatoes, onions, and peppers served with rice and beans and your choice of tortillas, plus a drink. All at a reasonable price. It makes two meals for me every time. My son swears the quesadillas here are magical and always eats most of it in the car on the way home because he can't wait. Service is always great, it's a family owned restaurant and they're consistently friendly and fantastic. It's a small business, but there's a few tables inside and chairs if you're getting takeout. They take phone orders too. There's plenty of parking in the lot and on the street. When I first started coming here a long time ago it was cash only, but you can use plastic now too. They do close early on Sunday, don't be like me and show up after 3 because you forgot..

The prices here are fair (compared to all these other places charging over $16 now), but the food…read morewas very bland and tired. I feel like the reviews are biased to the portions and price but not quality. I want to contribute my honest review without coming off as some food snob. I had no issues with the service (the staff seemed like people I could vibe with daily) and really wanted this place to be my loyal go-to. I've lived in the area for over 23 years and wanted to try something different after exhausting pretty much all butrriro options, so I checked out some online forums for recommendations. There are a lot of burrito spots around, so it's easy to overlook this one. Still, it kept popping up in people's suggestions, so it seems to have a loyal crowd. The California burrito and the breakfast burrito were mentioned as the best options. Maybe I'm late to the party, but after trying their California and breakfast burritos, I was surprised by how bland and dead the food tasted. The carne asada lacked flavor and freshness, and the potatoes in both burritos were very stale, mushy, and bitter (as though eyes / dark spots were present). Both burritos were missing something. People said the red salsa was supposed to be great, but it didn't add anything, and neither did the green salsa. Both just tasted flat. What really surprised me was the "famous" breakfast burrito that so many people rave about. It should be one of the easiest things to get right, but it tasted watered down. Maybe it was the onions and potatoes? I couldn't enjoy it unless I covered it in the bland red and green sauce just to make it edible. I even wondered if the eggs were processed or imitation (I'm no stranger to cafeteria food). I do understand that the majority are struggling, so this may reflect the quality and lack of taste. I've been all over San Diego and been in some financially rough areas that managed to stay afloat while still providing life and love by using locally sourced ingredients. So I feel like this place just lost motivation and wants to fill you up instead of giving you an experience.

They ask you if you want Mexican guac ( pure avocado ) or American guac ( avocado & sour cream mixed ). The shrimp is marinated and the asada is fresh and tasty ! Then we shared the hot Cheeto carne asada fries. After that we each shared a half of carne asada torta ! Very delicious. Last item was a carne asada quesadilla supreme which was loaded ! We sat outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Our cashier was helpful in telling us what to order. Definitely coming back here

The food is always great, and I come here about twice a week. I always order the same thing, and…read moreit's consistently good. Today I called ahead because I was extremely hungry and was about 5-10 minutes away, hoping my order would be ready when I got off the exit. The person who answered the phone told me I had to pay over the phone before they could place the order. I completely understand why they have that policy since some people place phone orders and never show up. I wouldn't have minded paying over the phone, but I was driving and didn't feel comfortable giving my card information while on the road. When I explained that I'm a regular customer, they were very understanding and even gave me a discount when I came in. I really appreciated that gesture and the way they took care of a regular customer. Great food and great customer service -- I'll definitely be back!

Never coming back here again…read more Look at the fries to meat ratio on my Cali Burrito. Bro, that's like 50% fries, 10% meat, and 40% beans. It's not worth $15 for this junk. The only reason this store didn't get a 1/5 was because they offered free sauces and carrots, you fill them up as much as you wanted. "How was the service?" Not good because when people came in and ordered after me, they got their foods before i even got mine!! It was me and my friend, we waited ~20 minutes just for a cali burrito and 3 fish tacos. It's even crazier that my friend had put a nice tip in the tip jar after we paid like dang that's CRAZY. I told him he should've dug his hands in there to take his money back from the tip jar because of that trash service LOL.
