A classic Mexican spot in Clairemont with a wide selection of items. The supreme (veggie), bean & cheese, chile relleno, and California burritos are pretty good. The salsas are quite good as well. The only thing is sometimes they almost make their food too fast, and the cheese doesn’t have time to melt. You can end up with a burrito that has hot meat with cold lettuce, cheese, tomato, etc.

Best damn menudo. I need to try their other food but I always want menudo. Service can be rough and lacking, and it’s always hot inside, but I come here for the food, not the white glove service. Top notch menudo.

Great flavor and great value. These burritos were huge and stuff full of meat! You know those other places that the burritos look but but it's filled with nothing but rice and beans with tiny morsels of meat? Not this place! I'd definitely be coming back when I'm in town.
