Its been a couple years since I last visited and felt like inside the place has gone downhill. I visited last week when it was 90 degrees out and both doors were open and no AC. It felt like 80 inside with a breeze at times from one of the doors if you were standing in line. I felt for the cashier and cooks as the kitchen had to be alot hotter as I felt it when at the cashier. Prob in the 90s in the kitchen. Staff was friendly. Food price for a taco that was slightly larger than a street taco felt a lil overpriced for what little you got. I also ordered the chips and salsa which was hot and didn't like and not worth the $6 w/taxes. The tortilla chips were bland and I think cooked in the oven and barely a pinch of salt. Will never order the chips and salsa. Any other fast food mexican restaurant has better tasting chips prob because they are fried in oil. I feel Chronic Tacos and Chipotle have better tasting tacos, chips and salsa/Pico de gallo.

I know inflation hits us all, but 20 bucks for a tri tip burrito is outrageous, especially when it's not nearly as good as how you guys made them in 2020/2021. Also your spicy salsa is no longer spicy. I can't speak on the other items, maybe they are all as great as they used to be, but it feels like quality has suffered, while (not your fault) prices have gone past that of what is fair for a burrito (no chips, no drink). Hate to give a bad review, but I felt robbed on all fronts. Will come back in a year or so next time I'm in town. At least you keep the little guy in the trash can smiling.

Came in on Memorial Day after a long day at the beach. The staff was so friendly and the decor of the place was really fun! So Chicano and a bit kitschy but in the best way. The real highlight was the food! The meat in the tacos was divine and the guacamole was seasoned perfectly. So delicious and flavorful and it came out about 10 min after ordering. Very impressive cause we ordered a lot! I will definitely be back again soon, can’t stop craving that surf and turf burrito!

Portions good, food was tasty, atmosphere has a lot going on. Unique art all over walls and some for sale. The flounder taco was just okay, fish was supposed to be grilled but felt more like it was baked. Enjoyed the Skrimp taco had big meaty shrimp beer battered. Carnitas burrito was flavorful with Spanish rice, pinto beans and tortilla was grilled to keep it together with option of red or green sauce. Everything is a la carte. The drive thru was closed, speaker issues it said on a written note.

Was in the neighborhood and nearly missed this place driving bye. It is a hole-in-the-wall kinda funky joint nestled up on a strip mall in the middle of nowhere. They appear to have 8 locations throughout OC and N. San Diego and have made a name for themselves with their eclectic vibe and gringo style mexican eats. The atmosphere was true funk and was interesting to admire all of the trippy art around every corner. The menu has some unique concoctions and provides some basic ingredients mixed with a little voodoo funkalicious blends. The Cali burrito was tender meat infused with some delicious crunch. The Verde sauce was the best choice with this mix of burrito ingredients. The fish taco was delicious, but the meat and sauce mix on the O.G was a little odd for their tastebuds to truly enjoy. Not a bad little joint… Would definitely try this place again or even a different location to compare goodness with. Could have spent a few more minutes shooting this place for more photos, but it was busy… Next time!
