This place is flavor central. The food is always prepared with care and consistently delicious. It’s a MUST stop whenever I visit my beloved San Diego. Thanks for another terrific meal.???

I didn't rate atmosphere because I've never stayed. Also, that's kinda a good thing, I always take out and it's like a few minutes and then I'm off right after ordering!!! These guys are insanely fast and it's hard to tell if they did anything at all but I have my food so...

Burrito very large... ingredients mediocre at best. The burrito was wrapped so poorly that as soon as I opened the wrapper, it all fell apart. Not fun when you're eating in a car.Take it from this local guide... go elsewhere.I just called the shop to check on pricing for what I ordered a couple days ago as I was reviewing my CC charges.Someone must have decided to write themselves a nice tip! Congrats Castañeda's. You have a thief working for you.My order:Cali burrito add sour creamTotal cost $17.66.Absolutely wild. I called the restaurant to order the same thing... $14.XX.I'll be contacting the restaurant again about a refund, or worst comes to worst... this was paid on a CC, I'll report the theft.Did my due diligence here with an honest review.Stay away!

If you are a fan of carnitas, you are in for a treat! I ordered Carnitas fries it is delicious! The meat is seasoned well, fries could be cooked a lil bit longer but its my preference. Got it with everything on it! Fully satisfied and will be ordering again.

One of the very few places that stayed open during covid and still 24 hours to this day. Good food, good service, and I always appreciate a business that is 24 hours

Excellent breakfast burrito with bacon (subbed for chorizo), potatoes, eggs, cheese and pico. Great salsa selection. Vallarta has the best breakfast burrito I have had in San Diego but this is a close second, losing out on a bit of size (still PLENTY large!) and worse beans. It was well hashed and mixed. Connoisseurs should be pleased!

I went through the drive-thru, the speaker was loud and clear. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon. The tortilla had nice coloring, & the bacon eggs and potatoes inside were out of sight. They have a good hot sauce selection. My personal favorite was a spicy green, and the red. They also have fantastic pico de gallo!! Super fresh. The service at the window was very friendly. The price of burritos is always going up, so I would say this place cost just slightly higher than others. But you definitely get your money's worth! Quality, size, and flavor. Definitely my new breakfast spot near work.

I’m a regular at this place. Normally I don’t ever do reviews on a restaurant. I got off of work to go get late night drive thru and ordered a conga burrito. The burrito was good on my first bite. But on my second bite it seems like I bit on a rusty piece of metal, where I had to spit out my food. The problem here isn’t the service, it’s the quality control which is understandable considering people have those bad days at work. But please try to be more consistent with how food is being prepared, this piece of metal could be potential harm!
