    Do yourself a favor and get a side of beans! Amazing! Wish I lived closer, this would've been my regular taco shop. Pedro was friendly and funny! Definitely coming back for more!

    I have to update this review. I cannot in good faith continue with a five star rating....it's with a heavy heart I announce the official rating of 3 stars....the food is still good but not nearly what it used to be. The owner/management seems upset and crustier than the meat they have been serving lately. There used to be a man in his 30s working the cashier at nights, a modern day martyr of the Mexican food industry. Unfortunately, I have yet to see him in my last few ghastly visits.

    However, fret not! Estradas right down the road will be receiving my 2019 east county south of the boarder award! They have 10/10 sauce and Mexican cuisines.

    Recommendation: Estradas: California burrito, destroyer burrito or chilaquiles.

    This is a cute taco shop located in a small shopping center . I've eaten here many times over the years . The food is average and the portions are on the small side . The thing that's above average to me is their salsa . I'm such a fan of their salsa . It's bomb . You won't be wowed here or disappointed.

    I decided to give one star instead of two because of the terrible way the owner treated me after years of being a loyal customer. He acts like he is doing a favor by serving customers when in fact he would not have a business if it wasn't for the customers.

    Coming from the name, you wouldn't really expect much from here, but it turns out the food is decent. The space is pretty large with a lot of seating, but it's not the most modern place to visit. The kitchen area is pretty small, the staff is alright.

    I got a breakfast burrito, with egg, beans, and cheese. It was made very quickly, the tortilla was soft and the ingredients tasted fine. There's 3 salsas that are okay. Overall, I don't think it should be passed up on if you're around.
