Best chicken burrito in San Diego is the El Zarape burrito - big claim to make but this juicy chicken + pasilla peppers + creamy cheese PLUS the amazing red sauce is my go-to stop every time I visit SD. Love love love (also the House burrito with chicken+mole is amazing! Green sauce is great too!)
My first time eating here. My boss raved about the food, and detoured off the 5 Fwy North back to Orange County just to get takeout for our ride back. I wasn't disappointed. I ordered a steak and shrimp burrito that was damn good. Fresh ingredients, tasty, and worth the price. I would detour again to eat here.
Giving one star for the worst customer service The staff is rude and also we have been here multiple times. They decide to close shop 1hr earlier than mentioned time on the door. Wide range of options Great Mexican food. Best salsa Don’t order chips as you already will get it with the burrito PS: forgot to click burrito as it looked very delicious
