This place is legit. I was at first taken aback by the astronomical price of their burritos even the tacos seemed expensive. However, once the food comes out you understand why everything is so pricey. A 20 burrito is absolutely massive, ...

Al Pastor tacos are amazing and rival any other al pastor Ive had in Mexico or SD, including tacos el gordo downtown. One taco is a meal in itself and comes double wrapped in fresh homemade corn tortillas. I live 15 minutes away and will gladly skip my closer taco shops to drive here for amazing food!

Unbelievable portions, pretty decent pricing and a welcoming atmosphere. My ALLTIME favorite taco shop in SD that blows everyone else out of the water. Would rate 10 stars if I could for the one guy who runs it and his dedication.

Ordered the Pacquiao fries ... they were absolutely the best fries I have ever had SO big and the bottom of the fries was still covered and sauce and not dry like pretty much any other place. And the price for it was unbelievable. Definitely going to keep coming back for more !
