They have perfected a way to wrap a burrito to eliminate filling it with meat and will stuff it with anything other than meat. You get mostly folded over tortilla and fillers. I ordered a double meat Carne Asada burrito tonight without guacamole to test this theory. It was the size of a regular burrito but it was $15. The quality was good but the portion of meat I received was the same size as a normal burrito. I will not be buying any food here anymore. I have noticed this happen multiple times, but keep trying to give them a chance. I am not doing it anymore. I'm tired of wasting my money. Ponchos at the bottom of the hill will get my business because they give me what I pay for.

Catered food for my daughters 18th bday/ Grad party. Service way beyond expectation! Food was so good and in abundance for what I expected! Jose delivered it all right on time, very hot, fresh, 3 kinds of salsa, guacamole that he even brought extra! Limes, corn and flour tortillas, taco veggies, rice (which I’m not much of a rice person, this was really moist and yummy!), carne, and pollo abodabo. We also had churros, and Jose even surprised us with (sorry if spelled wrong) buenalos? The yummy cinnamon sugar fried flour tortilla chips. Would totally use La Cresta Taco Shop again! Thank you so much for making it all so easy and overall GREAT!

Great food so far every time we've eaten here. Breakfast burrito (supreme) was delicious. So nice so close to home. Rolled tacos are excellent. Can't wait to try some more delicious food!!

The best street tacos! I'm so happy we have such a delicious restaurant in Crest. We also love their bean and cheese burritos.

Great food, family run. Live music on Friday nites. Meet and greet my neighbors and friends.

I love coming to this place on my lunch breaks, the food and service is always great, apart from that there are typically day drinkers in there who in my experience look to insult those who enter. They have typical bud light shooter attitudes. If you frequent this place you'll need to learn to pay them no mind

Staff was pleasant and helpful. I generally order a bean and cheese burrito from any new place I try because if the beans are good then the other items are also. They delivered a great burrito. A little out of the way to stop by but worth the drive.

Really great burritos, especially the conga, they're always friendly, and not too far away. Unfortunately, the hot sauce leaves much to be desired. Often times it comes out like gelatin. Occasionally, I will get the salsa, like for the chips, but they typically charge and it isn't much better. I have been coming here since my favorite place had burned down but honestly the hot sauce is hard to get over, so I only pick up food if I have hot sauce or salsa at home.

Great little Mexican spot, the food was outstanding. The ambiance was perfect. The people were friendly.

2 blocks away from excellent food!! Love La Cresta Restaurant. We've been here over 25 years and the restaurant has changed hands many times, these people got it goin' on!

Been coming here ever since my boyfriend introduced me to this place. I love getting our usual carne asada fries, and out of all the Mexican shops I've been to this one is my favorite to visit

Great food, great portions, and great service! Such a family oriented restaurant! My favorite is the California burrito #2!
