The ambience is your typical home-in-the-wall kind of place...clean, comfortable, but minimalist. I'd rather go to a place like this where the primary focus is the food.

Tonight, the same employee again said it was cash only and that the machine was down when I asked why this happens on certain nights. However, he later proceeded to let me pay with a card, which made the situation feel inconsistent and unclear. I recommend being cautious and double-checking your total, especially if paying in cash. Siempre he venido a este restaurante porque la comida es buena. Sin embargo, en ciertas noches dicen que solo aceptan efectivo, y tuve una experiencia preocupante: me cobraron $60 en efectivo, pero cuando pedí el recibo, el total era $48. Hoy, el mismo empleado volvió a decir que solo aceptaban efectivo y que la máquina no funcionaba cuando le pregunté por qué en algunas noches es así. Sin embargo, después me permitió pagar con tarjeta, lo cual hizo que la situación se sintiera inconsistente y poco clara. Recomiendo tener precaución y revisar bien su cuenta, especialmente si pagan en efectivo.

As seen on diners, drive ins and dives, this place did not disappoint. I got a Mula De Adobada and…read moreTaco de adobada. I don't know all of what they put on it, but it was delicious! So glad I stopped in. Service was quick despite being busy. Ambiance is that of a carnicería, with several walk-up lines depending on the type of meat you like. You get your food then go pay at the cashier. Self seating is available with someone constantly walking around cleaning. If in the area again, I would definitely come back and will be recommending this place to everyone. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

I'm so glad we did because it did not disappoint. The space was super clean with a chill, welcoming ambiance, and the cashier was honestly the sweetest. If the owner happens to read this, please give this girl a raise! She was hustling the whole time while keeping such a positive attitude, super respectful, incredibly kind, and very patient. She was the sweetest I have to say! The food was fresh and perfectly portioned. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot from now on. And I have to mention the flan, it was *chef's kiss*!

We ordered: Mar Y Tierra burrito - surf and turf style burrito, steak was so flavorful. Asada burrito - some of the best flavored asada there is in Daygo! Only downfall is they are not cheap by no means but, it's the quality you are paying for at this location! Both burritos out the door was a smidge over $30. Inflation is REAL! Might as well make sure you are getting quality food for your buck! If in the hood, don't hesitate to stop by CONTODO for your taco shop fix!

I had the greatest experience on Easter Sunday. I appreciate all the workers…read more Angel, our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and patient to our party of 8. I had the Gringa de Carnaza, taco de Tripa, and taco de lengua. Everything hit the spot. Carnaza was very soft. Gringa had a nice flavor of cheese. A bit too oily though. Tripa was cooked to perfection. Crispy! I was a little surprised about the lengua. It was a sliced lengua! It was cooked super tender I didn't need teeth for it. I also loved the horchata fresa. As a Japanese this reminded me of "ichigo milk" (strawberry milk) in Japan. I highly recommend this place a will be going back when I'm in SD.

I ordered a California burrito and asked to swap in adobado pork. No hesitation, no side‑eye, just a nod and a "you got it." That alone puts them ahead of half the shops in the county. The burrito itself delivered. The adobado came through with that deep red glow and smoky tang, the kind of flavor that feels like it's been tended to, not rushed. Fold that into fries, cheese, and a tortilla doing quiet, reliable work, and you get a bite that hits all the right notes. Rich, bright, salty, satisfying. It's a simple thing done well, which is exactly what you want from a neighborhood taco shop. Chuy's isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. They're just making a damn good burrito and treating you right while they do it.

Unfortunately they ran out of agua fresca so I got a soda and I like that it was all glass soda bottles. They have bathrooms in the establishment which is always a plus!
