This place deserves better visibility as well as some seating. It's drive-thru and walk up only but it is amazing.

Came here with my fiancé looking for seafood, we ordered shrimp bowls because they are gluten free as well and I also ordered a potato taco. These bowls were properly loaded with shrimp beans rice and lettuce , along with sour cream and fresh guacamole. I’m so full and impressed with both the quality and presentation. The potato taco was perfectly crunchy and delicious. Sorry no pictures because I decided to write the review after we demolished all of it ?.Dietary restrictions: All corn tacos are gluten free as well as their bowls.

We love their street tacos for Taco Tuesday or their weekly discount until 5pm. The BEST! And their creamy green salsa is delicious.

I was looking forward an authentic Mexican food drive thru. It is expensive. I order ONE crispy beef taco and it was awful. The shell was like rubber, it had been fried before and sitting out for hours, the meat was SMALL, no limes, no radish and a bean and cheese burrito. The cost was $13.00! so it was 6.50 each! The taco was worth $3.00 at the most and the bean and cheese burrito maybe 5.00.Service is SLOW because the girl at the window is chatting with other employees.ambiance is ok. It is a drive thru. The place was clean on the outside.I was very disappointed!

Great fast Mexican food. I love that they have a drive thru. Would be nice if they had a seating area for customers that need to stop and eat. They have good daily specials under $10.

I had the street tacos and on Tues & Wed they are just $1.99 ea. Asada & Carnitas were great! Giving 4/5 since their guacamole is from a bottle and not fresh avocados.

Amazing authentic Mexican drive thru! Taco plate got me living the dream! I'm so glad they opened a Temecula location. Love the horchata!

I wanted to hate this place, my wife tried it once and said it was good.I was hesitant at first, given the low reviews. It looked expensive, but my memory is still pre Covid pricing. I suppose it is only a tad higher than avg. I ordered one time and the food was really good. The amount of meat in the burrito was a lot. Just ordered again a few weeks later, I really pleased with the food. My wife... she grew up in Ensenada, she was right. It really is a great place to grab some Mexican food. Her words... it has a drive through, it's fast Mexican. If you're looking for that next level of food, eat at a restaurant. But the food here is good and the portions are large.

Presentation is everything!!! I ordered a breakfast burrito and the portion was substantial, so much so that I asked the server if the burrito was cut in half and I then asked if he would cut it in half. He did, he took my bag and he seemed indifferent which was fine, however, what I received back conveyed a different message. I'm not in food service but I know that if you cut a sandwich or burrito you then wrap the item to keep it in tack. When I opened the bag the sauce was spilled all over as well as the insides of my burrito. I feel like he was servicing me scraps from his table. So much more I want to say but I digress. People do better.

Customer service is horrible. I was trying to order on doordash, and the menu had no details. For example, it would say "combo #1" and wouldn't explain what that comes with. I decide to call the store, and the lady picks up and goes "Cojitas"... not asking if she can help me or if I would like to order. Anyways, I ask my question about doordash. She didn't seem interested in helping me figure out the menu. She just said "oh yeah idk why it's like that on the app". So we get off the phone, and I proceed to place my order, and it wouldn't accept my order. I kept trying to press order on doordash, and it would reject it. I ask my friend to try on his app, and the store didn't even pop up on his search. So what they did was they turned off their doordash tablet because they didn't wanna deal with the hassle of a delivery order. Pathetic business. Most likely employee ran. I bet you the owner doesn't know that this is occurring. It's no wonder this place has such a low rating.

This will be our last visit. Food was actually cold to the touch. No flavor, guacamole is nasty avocado sauce. And it’s expensive. They’re not gonna make it at this rate.
