5 Stars for their Chicken Soup. They keep it authentic and it tastes just like I love it in Mexico. The soup is my go-to every time seasonal colds ravage my casa. Thanks amigos for keeping it real!

Oh my gosh the fried fish tacos sent me to heaven. I literally said "oh my gosh" after each bite because I would forget how good it was. This place is close to the beach, affordable, and so darn delicious. If you are looking for food to fill your belly and heal your soul you have to come get a burrito from here.Vegetarian options: You can have your meals made however you like. Mexican food is always a great option for vegetarians and this place is delicious.Parking: The parking spaces are a little small but there is a lot of street parking and its an easy walk.

Chicken soup was excellent. Nice people at the restaurant. Stay away from the Carne Fries. The carne was good, but our fries were raw. It was pretty gross. Went straight to the trash.

Came here Sunday morning as a part of our quest to find the BEST breakfast burrito in North County. Love Lourdes and have been coming here for years. Super cute and next to the water. They are always super nice and accommodating for my modifications and you can't beat the price! My HUGE burrito came to 10$ even though I added avocado AND bacon. AND they give you free chips AND have a huge salsa bar! The quality of the burrito was great. Large enough to eat one half for different meals. Not greasy either! The tortilla was beautiful. Wasn't homemade but that's okay because it was warm and toasty and perfectly wrapped and not too much extra tortilla Beautiful ratio of ingredients but wish it had a tad more avocado. Sadly, the flavor was a little lacking!! It needed lots of salt and pepper. But with those additions it was great. Lastly, can we talk about the distribution!? It was perfect! Overall solid 8/10 breakfast burrito. Sadly my roommate got the bean egg and cheese burrito and was totally not a fan. Her beans ended up all on one side and all the eggs on the other... :( beans had great flavor though!

With all the visits we've made to Lourdes over the years, I can't believe I haven't left a review. Lourdes is a must-stop when we visit Cardiff. We have camped at San Elijo State Park often over the years and would really get excited about lunch at Bull Taco. The view was what made it. However, if we had been completely honest with ourselves, we would have to admit that Lourdes, across the street, has hands down better food. I'm a chile relleno fan and their plates with beans or the Chile relleno burrito are to die for. And the chicken soup..... oh my. The best flavor and oh so filling. We stopped in for breakfast on all three days of our visit to Cardiff and shared the chorizo burrito, the chile relleno burrito and the chicken soup. Each entree was delicious; I personally enjoyed the chile relleno burrito the most. I must have made four trips to the salsa bar trying their amazing flavors. We returned on Taco Tuesday and shared three tacos: shrimp, fish and spicy pork. The corn tortillas were strong enough to hold in all the filling yet soft. They are medium size and enough to share. Each two had wonderful flavor and veggie-accompaniment to the meat. Delish. The ambience is casual and has that beach-worn feel. The staff are always friendly and seem happy to come to work. Prices are very reasonable for the area and portion sizes are enough to share. Come hungry and leave very satisfied.

I tried a quart of the Spanish rice at a price of $7.00 . I don't mind the price if it's good rice. But I know good Spanish rice, & Lourdes makes her rice very tasteless, she can get a much better recipe on line.

Limited parking in the front. Several tables inside and out, but inside can get chilly with the garage door open. Service is friendly and efficient. They do ask for a tip on the iPad while order, but it's self seat, pickup, drink. I'm not sure what the tip is for. Everything is self service. Burritos are BIG. Food is decently priced for the area and portions are larger than average, so that makes it a good value. The food is tasty as well. The carne Asada is tender and delicious. Decent food, friendly service, would definitely go.
