"An amazing hole-in-the-wall with some of the most authentic Mexican food in town. With a family-run staff that has been there for decades, this staple serves the traditional favorites as well as the more trendy goodies like California burritos and pollo asado. Oh, and the diced carrots are a great addition to any plate." - Fifty & Fifty

The food is average, and in a prime location if you are downtown. They need some better hot sauce and some spice. The fish and shrimp tacos were okay. The huevos rancheros were okay. If you want something mild/bland its ok.

AMAZING birria and fish tacos. My husband really enjoyed his enchiladas too. Unassuming, authentic food at a family-run place - order at the counter, cash only.

The best Mexican food I have had outside of Mexico. It is a small downtown spot perfect for lunch. Great downtown atmosphere with outside seating available. The food was perfect. The salsa is wonderful flavor and just hot enough to make you stop and rest every 3 or 4 chips. If you are in Downtown San Diego you must stop in.

The restaurant is an average tasting fast food diner. Cashier was polite. The overpriced food prices are not posted on the wall menu, which I am guessing that they are going for a"market price" atmosphere. We ordered our food at the counter and dined in. The best part is the downtown location.

This is a small place in the downtown area. The food was good, but when you go to a restaurant (at least me), you expect a little more. First of all, there are no restrooms. The lady taking the order was a little rude and inattentive. We stood there while she chatted with the kitchen staff. We asked for coffee, and she gave us half full cups. She said it was a medium coffee in a large cup. There are no real plates or silverware, and if you are lucky, you get one paper napkin. Again, the food was good, but everything else, not so much. I ordered the menudo, and it was tasty but little substance. More broth than meat or hominy.

I’ve been going here for years. This place has really changed to the downside in many ways and is a shadow of its former self. This was a happening place with a beer license. I recently ordered an Al Pastor Burrito, it was terrible and had no taste. I suggest the owner and manager walk around the corner where they actually have a line to place an order. Get the same item, and taste 👅 the same burrito 🌯 at that “you know who” restaurant and check out their salsa bar. I will not be back📢Good luck 🍀

Was eating an egg bacon and potato burrito and there were eggs in the burrito at least 2 times didn’t finish (probably a lot more) would not recommend them for breakfast

Was much better years ago when located on Market Street, place was much larger and atmosphere was superior. More expensive now with smaller portions. Overpriced can of soda, they used to have fountain drink free refills. Counter lady was a little rude and inattentive like a previous reviewer said. I get it, rent is more expensive everywhere so restaurants charge more now. Lackluster experience. I won't be coming back.
