“ This place serves up the best breakfast burrito in San Juan Capistrano! Eggs, beans, cilantro, onion, cheese, red or green sauce, and the choice of one other item! I always get the potato with it and the red sauce! It’s so good! Go check it out if you are looking for an amazing breakfast burrito! Careful though other people have figured this out too as the line can get long on the weekends! ”
“ I usually do not like to stand in lines, but it is worth the wait here. On a Sat at noon I waited about 20 min. Probably less on other days and times. I love the breakfast burrito with machaca beef wet with verde sauce. It is not fancy assembling most dishes from steam table and griddle, but it is consistently tasty. ”
“ Was on my way back home from Tijuana and decided to stop in and get a bite for the road. I'm glad we did. I ordered the combination plate (#6) . It came with 4 taquitos de res (you choose the meat) with rice and beans. Btw, the rice and beans were absolutely delicious. The service was fast and the staff was friendly. I even ordered a mangoneada off of their frozen cocktail specials. I absolutely recommend this place. ”
“ Authentic Mexican food with huge portions and great prices. The mole chicken was our favorite dish and is a must try. The carne asada fries were amazing and loaded with meat. And the beef sope was delicious and also large. We also tried the crispy chorizo & potato tacos, (2) for 2.49, crunchy, spicy and cheesy, again delicious. ”
“ Great food made fresh. I had the chilaquiles and the were some of the best I’ve had. ”
