    Chorizo breakfast burrito !

    Breakfast burritos are fire !! They were huge! Great deal for the price. We will be coming back to try other items. Service was fast and friendly.

    Updated menu photos! Please check out the menu. Highly recommend them. I had the california burrito last night and it satisfied my hunger and craving.

    Carne asada quesadilla with sour cream and guacamole on the side
    Alma M.

    Wanted to try a new place and stumbled upon this taco shop. The service was very fast and food tasted good. The carne asada was very tender and tasty. The deluxe carne asada quesadilla I ordered came with guacamole and sour cream on the side. I ordered to go and I was a bit disappointed when I opened the styrofoam box and the sour cream was a little runny and on my quesadilla which made it a bit soggy. The carne asada fries were good and we asked for extra crispy fries, they were cooked perfect.

    2 Potato Tacos Plate
    Taura G.

    We stopped here to get some late night food after I traveled for work today. The place is always clean and the staff is always customer service oriented. We ordered a Daily Special # 7 (1 tostada, 1 taco, & 2 Rolled tacos) and a Pollo Asada Burrito. We got home and started to eat. The pollo asada burrito had salsa fresca and guacamole and was good. Unfortunately, my 2 rolled tacos were not good. The meat inside was spoiled and the taste was super obvious. The tostada & taco were OK. I called them to let them know that the rolled tacos meat was bad, so that they would not serve that batch (probably frozen), to someone else. This is a great place to eat, and sometimes these things happen, so the right thing to do is to let them know that your food is not good. We will still try them out again.

    5 Rolled Tacos with everything

    5 rolled tacos with everything. I called in order and did was ready when I arrived. My first time there, but looks like a solid track shop.

    Pollo asada burrito
    Jim D.

    Came here in between running errands and I was thoroughly impressed! Small mom and pop place but big on flavor! You order from the counter and you pick up your food. I got the pollo asada burrito, it was very flavorful, fresh and enough to feed two adults. I also got a bag of chips. Crispy, crunchy and fresh. This place is authentic, nothing fancy or flashy about the decor so they an focus on tasty food from flavor town! Standard fountain drinks with the horchata flavors available. Prices are very reasonable. Less than ten dollars for most items. Good for groups and plenty for free parking. If I am back in this area I will definitely return.

    8$ Breakfast burrito Egg potatoes & cheese
    FrankDogg70 F.

    The taste was average the service was average small space to eat and I would want to pay 8$ again for this.. One tip for this add thicker potato , egg cheese, sour cream, cilantro with a splash of lime and the flavor will be more towards 9$ burrito.

    Toothpick that was in burrito!
    Chris G.

    I use to come here a lot but tonight is the last night. My son just spit out a toothpick that was in his California burrito. Nasty aF. I threw out the rest of the order and will not give this to my pregnant wife. Will be reporting to Food Health inspectors after this.

    Five Rolled Taco Combo
    Jack M.

    I stopped by here for a quick meal and ordered their five rolled taco combo with rice and beans for $5 and some change. The meal looked good when it arrived (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taco-fiesta-2-san-diego?select=2XEWp9BCyl9rhV212FYgFw#2XEWp9BCyl9rhV212FYgFw), but it had a strange sent, and I quickly realized that the hot rolled tacos had burned and melted the styrofoam container (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taco-fiesta-2-san-diego?select=2XEWp9BCyl9rhV212FYgFw#PxQeueZ_l52DeCFZEuiXyQ), so I would suggest they put a layer of wax paper on the bottom to prevent melting. After, melted styrofoam does not taste very good, not to mention it's probably not very good for you. After avoiding the melted styrofoam, the rolled tacos were okay and I liked the addition of cotija cheese on top, always a fan of that (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taco-fiesta-2-san-diego?select=2XEWp9BCyl9rhV212FYgFw#Vpgz547bgglkWYq35X2HIg). They had a crunchy shell with an average amount of pretty good tasting shredded beef (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taco-fiesta-2-san-diego?select=2XEWp9BCyl9rhV212FYgFw#yvNsIF-mZyOJf0Ku_m5K5Q). The guacamole was okay and so were the rice and beans. The rice was the better of the two, with its fluffiness and good flavor (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taco-fiesta-2-san-diego?select=2XEWp9BCyl9rhV212FYgFw#zV_fEqNyrk1_lya0VtJ_ug). The re-fried were okay. They tasted a little over cooked and not as fresh I would of liked (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taco-fiesta-2-san-diego?select=2XEWp9BCyl9rhV212FYgFw#EsjQ757A0lEQy6h7rc_uPQ). Overall, I have to admit I have had a better meal. The melted styrofoam on one of the rolled tacos was not pleasant, so I really ate four....unless it's a new food group, I dunno...

    I honestly love this place when it comes to rolled tacos!!! I come in here every now and then when I am craving rolled tacos.. They are SO YUMMY AND FRESH. This is the only place I will get rolled tacos from. I know it's on the bland side, but when you eat it with hot sauce, it tastes just right! Crunchy and fresh tasting. I LOVE IT. Another food choice I get here is their breakfast burrito!! With eggs, sausage and potatoes. It is SOO yummmmmmyyyyy. I even get it for dinner sometimes lol. Their carne asada fries and carne asada burritos/Cali burritos are ok. I only got their carne asada fries TWICE and never again. It just doesn't taste that good... The fries are usually soggy.. So I stay away from those.. Their CARNE ASADA flying saucer salad is amaaaazzzinnng! They give you you a lot! I love how they give you a bottle of hot sauce.. They don't ever complain or give you a mean look when you ask for more hot sauce to go or anything. Very sweet staff. I know this place does need to remodel but hey.. Not everyone has the funds to do so.. I just come for the yummy food (:

    Food is always tasty, hot & fresh. Customer is A+! Been coming here for years. They have continued to be awesome during covid. My go-to is the Carne Asada chips or the TJ style taquitos.

I had to take photos in night mode so it looks a lot brighter than it actually is. If you are going with someone older or who has trouble seeing in the dark, they are not gonna see anything lol 3. I heard reservations were required months out but i went in the same day. It was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend around lunch time but they took walk ins left and right so maybe just dinner is what needs to be booked in advance? The decor was immaculate and everything that came out was delicious and it came out very fast. It is connected to the Lafayette hotel which has the jungle room, bowling alley, pool and multiple bars. You can easily spend the day here. Mmmm not if you have kids though. 10/10 recommend

Beware there's only street parking, no valet service (unless you're a hotel guest), so that can present a challenge. Reservations a MUST on weekends, especially with a group. Now for the food reviews. Everything we ordered was delicious from the squash blossom and smashed tuna tartare appetizers to the El Festin platter (made for groups) . Since the main dining area is kept dark for the dramatic gothic effect, it's tricky to rely on your sense of sight for the presentation of each of the dish. The highlight for me was the chili garlic shrimp tacos. So full of flavor! The only drawback is that many of their dishes are made with nuts. So if you have a nut allergy, which one of us in our group did, the menu was limiting. Overall, it's an incredible place for first timers and out-of- towners. I might return for a special celebration, but not repeatedly. Once is good enough experience, especially with so many other special dining options in our fine city.

It's one of San Diego's top scenic date-night restaurants. You get to take in San Diego's night views from a unique vantage point, and the scenery is breathtaking. Boasting unbeatable ocean views, the restaurant faces straight toward the downtown skyline and the Coronado Bridge. Sunset hour offers incredible photo opportunities. It features a huge outdoor terrace with fire pits and refreshing ocean breezes, making it perfect for watching sunsets, snapping photos, or romantic dates. The weather wasn't ideal the day I went, and I arrived a little late, so I missed the sunset glow, but I still had an amazing experience overall. The menu centers on modern Mexican cuisine and fresh seafood. Must-orders include table-side guacamole made fresh right at your table, ceviche and aguachile with ultra-fresh seafood, fish and shrimp tacos, as well as Mexican paella meant to share for two. Their fried cauliflower appetizer was also outstanding! The bill came out to around $55 per person, and it's totally worth the price given the stunning surroundings. I highly recommend it for anniversaries or anyone chasing one of San Diego's most gorgeous sunsets. It's also a fantastic spot to bring friends and impress them!

So I was very excited to see what this place had to offer. Celebrated my daughter's 19th birthday here this week, and to be honest, I was not impressed. The location and views from this place are unmatched. Tons of covered patio seating with a breathtaking view of the downtown skyline. As for the food, it was just ok. It was mostly mexican seafood, but there was a good mix of other items like steak and a wagu burger. Everything was served hot and fresh, but in my honest opinion, everything just lacked flavor. Everything I tasted was just bland, and I tasted a little bit of all of my family's meals. But everyone agreed. Maybe we are just spoiled with San Diego Mexican food. My biggest complaint of the night was the service. Our waiter started off well. He took our drink orders and when he returned, asked if we wanted to get appetizers started, which we did. Our appetizers came out and were finished and we still had not seen our server to order our main dinner. This continued to be the issue all night, we were constantly looking and waiting for our server. There were other servers that came around and filled our drinks and took our plates, and they were great! But we really didn't see our main server most of the night. And one of the times that we did walk by, my daughter asked for a new glass of water because she had dropped food into the glass. He took the glass and never came back. I ended up giving my daughter my water. I did notice that the servers at the other tables were awesome. They were attentive, and we constantly saw them checking on their guest. And like I said, we are fans of all of the Cohn restaurants we have dined at before, so the level of service we received is not typical. Maybe our server was new??? I will say, this is not a cheap place to eat. My family of 5 spent almost $240 and that was with no alcohol or desserts. So you would expect to receive a high level of service. Other than the ambience, our experience was just ok. I would highly recommend the restaurants next door, which are owned by the same owner, and have never disappointed us in quality and/or service (Island Prime or C-Level).

We left right away to pick up the food and sure enough it was ready waiting for our arrival. One quick drive back home to dig in and the aroma was so enticing. California Burritos is very apt for their name, my bf rates it a 10/10. As a California Burrito connoisseur, he liked the addition of sour cream in it and said the flavors were delicious. He topped it with their green salsa for a little bit of a freshness to cut through the richness and fattiness of the meat and fries in the burrito. He didn't care for the fish taco that much and rated it a 4/10 but said the restaurant overall was a 10/10, as he thought there was too much lettuce and tomato throwing off the ratio of the taco. I, on the other hand, am a huge fan of veggies and liked the ample amount they provided. ---- There's a couple benches outside in front of the shop and seating at booth tables inside as well. It's a bit smaller to sit inside, I recommend sitting outside to enjoy the fresh air and the sunset is beautiful. ---- Overall: if you're in the mood for California Burritos come to the place rightly named California Burritos!

That said, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this burrito. It's large, filling, but their sauce had an almost artificial red color to it. Despite the weird look of the sauce, it had decent spice, wasn't overwhelming but wasn't weak either. Parking is very difficult here, and seating is limited. It's a small tack shop style place, made more for to-go orders. Service was fast and friendly. Their horchata is where they really lose a star, it's from a fountain and tastes like it, watered down artificial flavor. However you don't come here for the drinks, you come here for the large tasty California Burritos, hence the name. They've definitely won me over and I'll be back when in the area. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.
