Best al pastor I've ever had! Staff was very nice and helpful. Carne asada breakfast burrito was very filling, you could feed 2 for a lighter breakfast.

BEWARE! This place charges a 3.5% service fee, adds it to the surcharge! Compounds it with a 3% credit card transaction fee (Yes, you pay a "fee" on the "fee"), then compounds that into the sales tax! You pay a tax on the fee on the fee you just paid! No where is this disclosed! No menus, no website, no where! Prices WILL be at least 7% higher than posted anywhere, out the door. I brought this up to the attention of the restaurant in an e-mail and no response. I would file a complaint with the city/DA/local authorities, but I live out of town and it looks like San Diego only has paper forms for this type of complaint. I'm also very tempted to file a charge back with Chase. Best I can do is warn would be patrons not to make the same mistake we did! I'm all for supporting the local spots, but this is certainly a fast way to drive people away. You're better off just going to Chipotle, honestly. We paid over $25 for 4 tacos! And, the service was lackluster at best: they forgot my beer, no ketchup for fries, expected to "bus your own" table, prompted to "tip" on the machine, a door code you had to ask for for the restroom.... Taste was "fine enough" but again, no better than Chipotle and without all the attitude, junk fees and fuss.

The tacos were so good I forgot to take a picture. Highly recommended, especially the Camaron Enchilado was just incredible. I'll be back for more soon

When we used the restaurant, it received an A grade for its cleanliness. I only ate three types of tacos and ate them with various sauces.

Really wanted a breakfast burrito before we left San Diego. We looked around and ended up here. The food came out so fast and hot. The salsa bar was pretty cool and had a ton of options. I was very satisfied with my sausage and hash brown burrito.
