Eat Mexican Food

Food is ok but they have the SLOWEST SERVICE EVER! Not just once, but every time I come here. You’d think I would learn. They also run out of hot sauce all the time! How does a Mexican restaurant run out of hot sauce???

I love Mexican food and I think their food is pretty good here. That is, when they get the order correct. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come here and they’ve somehow messed up my order (drive-​thru and in the restaurant). Other than that very frequent annoyance, I keep coming back because I like the food.

I have been eating at this location since it was Santanas but obviously it is not them anymore but they do the semi-​same work. I ordered a meal and quesadilla the other night drive tru. The sprite was out so I went inside and got some lemonade instead. When I got home the burrito was freezing. I called and complained and said I would be back the next day, which I didn’t because I don’t have time for that.
They refunded my complete order which was super nice. I was not expecting that at all which they didn’t have to do but I GREATLY APPRECIATED IT. The food isn’t bad. just order the right thing and make sure it is up to «your» par.

I tried this place for the first time ordered a Carne Asada burrito and a bean burrito. Not as good as most taco shops just average run-​of-​the-​mill beans and low-​quality cheese but what really grossed me was the cold carne asada. So I called the establishment and they said they would remake me a burrito if I came back and took my name.
I came back two days later and they made me a new Burrito it was half as big as the first one and the meat was cold in it too. I think they treat their Meat like cheese and don’t heat it up to order they just keep it in a bucket

The rolled taco’s with guacamole and cheese on top are great! If I ever need some fast food, I stop by to pick up some rolled tacos. My friends and I all love them, so sometimes we get mass orders.

It’s not bad like the reviews suggest. It’s not super amazing 5 stay either, and that’s ok. It’s a drive thru, and it’s easy, and the food tastes good, it’s fairly healthy in comparison to higher rated burrito shops.

I’ve been eating here for the last 15 years at least once a month. Never disappoints and never had to take anything back. Staff are often quick, polite and cool. Solid stop for Mex on the go.

Worst california burrito i’ve ever had. do yourself a favor and spend the 5 extra minutes to drive somewhere better.

How can you f-​up a freaking bean and cheese burrito? Well go here and you will get it. Did drive through for two burritos. Got home and they taste like ass. So I tried to call them and number is disconnected. Green sauce tasted fire hot, but no flavor. Now trying to get that horrible flavor out of my mouth. Major FAIL.

Had a decent number of negative reviews but a friend recommended it so I went. Got their Carne Asada breakfast burrito and it hit the spot! With some salsa verde and guac sauce… so good!
Customer support wise — they weren’t your chatty bunch but weren’t rude either. I’d recommend coming here if you’re in the neighborhood and want a good breakfast burrito.

Horrible customer service (especially drive-​thru) and the food is blah — I won’t ever go here again I’ve tried to give it to many chances… DONE !!!

this review is based on a one-​time drive thru experience for a breakfast burrito.
I live close by and pass eat Mexican at least once a day. it looks less than inviting from the outside but don’t many good quick Mexican shops? I usually stick to adalbertos which is .3 miles away but didn’t feel like parking, waiting in line, etc. so figured I would give this drive thru a shot. I wasn’t disappointed.
the breakfast burrito was big (14″ tortilla) and filled with bacon, eggs, potato, cheese, salsa. I added beans and sour cream which did cost a bit extra but the total was less than $ 7. I was impressed with the red salsa they serve.
service was mediocre; not friendly but not rude and the drive thru process was extremely quick. peeked inside and it did look a bit beat up and dirty but doesn’t bother me when I’m not leaving the car. I’ll definitely be back for another breakfast burrito in the future!

This was a difficult choice in rating this establishment. I’ve been coming here since it was «Santana’s». The food is about a 3 star. It’s good but not outstanding. It’s good to satisfy the midnight crave. The red sauce is 5 stars. Customer service 1 star. So the menu has the basic stuff most Mexican restaurants have and it’s made pretty quickly. The customer service needs an upgrade badly. On Christmas Eve me and a few friends tried to go through the drive thru. The lady on the other end answered «Can I help you.» We tried to give our order but she was not confirming she heard us. So we drove up to the window and tried to get someone’s attention. This tall ghetto looking angry Hispanic dude walks up… opens the window… and says, «I’m not cooking tonight, have a goodnight.» And slams the Window and walks away. This guy not only looked like a serial killer but he was rude and didn’t even let us ask a question. I can not believe they hire people who lack the basic customer service skills to represent a business. So one star for overall representation. I will not be back and I recommend you use caution.

The la Paz burrito is delicious. I had to add guac of course. It was a bit expensive for the pequeno option but worth it.

This chain used to be Santana’s Mexican Food chain, same female owner but had to change their name due to a divorce from her husband.
Food is consistently very good for quick Mexican food, beats the standard chain Mexican fast food restaurants. Nice that there’s vegetarian options too. Good pollo asada burritos & 2+2 burrito is a nice breakfast option.
Currently offer daily specials (M-​F).

I love Taco shops, I stopped here for the first time and had the Carne Asada Fries and a large Orchata, I give them credit for the fries, they are good, I may stop here for some more, plenty of Asada on the plate.
The orchata was another story, it tastes like they poured some cleaner on the drink dispenser and forgot to rinse it.

It does the job late at night when you just have to have some Mexican. The tacos are good. The service is Meh. The location is shabby and a bit dirty. Overall the food is good, but there does not seem to be much love for the location. Where is the passion of the business owner?
Use the drive through.

Came in here unintentionally when I attempted to go to the Starbucks next door but they were closed. I read the sign «Eat More Mexican Food,» which my stomach really agreed with. I had to pick up a friend from the airport and has time to spare, so I figured why not grab some grub? Got the Friday special Caesar fish burrito and drink for 5 bucks and it was not bad at all! Especially with a little lime and salsa, it was actually quite satisfying. Not sure if it was legitimately good or I was just savagely hungry. Either way, I think I should start walking into random food joints more often.

Came here around 11:30pm because I go to PLNU and college kids are always hungry! My friends ordered burritos which were decently sized (I’m from San Diego and I’ve seen bigger ones). I got the 3 chicken flautas with cheese and guac. It was pretty on point! I think the ambiance of the place was a little ehh but I mean it was midnight and the employees were probably pretty tired. I’d go here again!

I have never been compelled to leave a Unilocal review about any business before but this Mexican food business needs a honest review from a qualified source such as myself. I have visited this restaurant on and off again for over the past year. I suppose I was waiting for them to hire employees with better customer service skills and clean up their act as a business, that never happened.
I own a business 2 blocks down from them and feel it is important to support local business but I think it is time for a change. I have been treated horribly 100% of the time I have been there. They have messed up my drive through order 90% of the time and when I tell them the very next day they argue so they don’t have to make up for it.
Unbelievable how bad the customer service is. Then this is the big one, 2 days ago I ate there and I ordered a California Burrito and have been sick from food poisoning ever since, my doctor tested the bacteria and it was caused by one of the food handlers not washing his hands after going to the bathroom, that’s right they literally fed me POOP! I have since called the health department on them and now I am warning all of you, EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The smallest «large» order of super fries you can imagine. This place is a joke. Prices keep going up while size and quality keep going down. I hope this place goes out of business. The sad thing is… I’d be happy if a Taco Bell took the place of this lousy taco shop.

I’m no expert in Mexican but I found this delicious. Service was great, place was empty though :-/
Got my order to go.
A Cali burrito carne asada. — delicious and huge, great flavors.
A grilled shrimp taco. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and taco had great flavor.
Definitely stopping here again.

When this was Santana’s I ate there all of the time. I was addicted because it was all good. But, the last 6 couple months or so I’ve been going less and less.
First of all, half of the females that work there, obviously don’t like it. It’s like they’re doing you a favor by taking your order.
And now the food has gone down the tubes. The carne asada chips are so salty they’re inedible and the grilled fish cesar buritto is tasteless and watery.
I’m done because I’m quite sure there’s another taco shop in town I can visit that have friendly employees and good food!

Wouldn’t recommend if you want the best Mexican food for your money. :/​maybe I should have checked the reviews before stopping but, the drive thru was packed, and the inside was half full so I guess I assumed I could fill the empty pit that was my hungry stomach here. I don’t hold Mexican places to a high customer service level, well just ’cause… But I do hold them to an extraordinarily high food– quality level because we are in M-​fing San Diego!!! Well– non hot carrots and cold mini tacos «taquitos» on their menu… Sad experience and not the least expensive. Will never be coming back. There is enough competition in San Diego for me to visit somewhere that is exceptional.

This is the worst crap place in Pt Loma. The first time i went there i had a fish taco, it was terrible. The only redeeming thing about the meal was the caramelized onions at the salsa bar. The salsas themselves are tasteless. They dont always have the onions either.
Today i went there and there were four workers behind the counter not paying any attention to me or other customers. I waited for ten minutes and was completely ignored. Then i left. What kind of customer service is this? Four employees carrying on with themselves and ignoring the customers.
The owner should fire everyone including himself and close this disgusting rude crap hole down.
I dont know how any business can stay open with this kind of lameness.

THIS PLACE SUCKS!
i have been here 3 times now. Whoever the woman is working the drive thru at 1230p today, she needs to go.
Every time she takes my apparently difficult order of «4 rolled tacos with guacamole, add sour cream and xtra cheese plz» i get something different. wtf
please tell me the secret to getting my order correct???

Eat Mexican Food. OK, I’m generally OK with that mantra. Although, I would add «just not here» to that name.
Long, long wait each time I’ve been here. Seems like there’s never enough staff. the food is overpriced and underflavored even comparing it to other Mexican joints in the neighborhood.
Completely unremarkable and I don’t feel the need to waste any more of my time on a review than I’ve already provided this place while I waited for my food.

My friend and I had take out from this place yesterday. I just found out that the place changed from MXN to this (originally called Santana’s). We went through the drive through but through the windows the place looked as though the place had not changed. The lady on the intercom was nice. One good note is that the red and yellow salsas are still the same from when it was MXN.
California Burrito with Guacamole: I paid a little extra for the guacamole, but the burrito was really interesting. You can either pay for a 10 inch tortilla burrito or a 14 inch tortilla burrito. I ended up buying the 10 inch one because I wasn’t that hungry but I didn’t realize how small it would be. I’m not sure if they don’t put as much filling as it could fit, but this would definitely not fill me up and normally I would finish only half a normal sized burrito. I will have to come back to try the larger one. However, the taste was not compromised for me. The carne asada was tasty, but was not juicy or tender. I was pleasantly surprised that the fries were still crispy after getting home. The pico de gallo with chopped onion, cilantro, tomato, and jalapeño was fresh. There was a good ratio of guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, melted cheese, crispy fries, and carne asada.
Overall, I am a bit sad about the portions but maybe I got the wrong size. The food still tasted the same as when I last went to MXN and the intercom/​server was nice. I wouldn’t say this is my preferred place for Mexican food, but it’s convenient. I will be back again to see if the portions are different for the larger burrito.
