“ Just Wow! I have high standards when it comes to taco shops. I want alot of food for a reasonable price, amazing flavor, and friendly staff. This place hits all those and more. First off, the shop looks small and given its location i would dismiss it easily. If you skip this place you will be disappointed. Ok The food. Surf &Turf Fries. If you don't order this you are wrong. Large great tasting shrimp, perfectly cooked steak, topped with beans, cheese, and guacamole. One plate easily feeds 2 regular people. Even a fat guy like me didn't quite finish it. Definitely worth being a regular place for great food. ”
“ went here for date night with my wife. i drive past here often and always was looking to try it. food definitely did not disappoint. i ordered a california burrito and my wife got a bean and cheese burrito. first thing i did notice when i stepped it was the restaurant was huge and fit the vibe. prices were okay, pretty normal nowadays for mexican. the service was not all that great, i typically don't care too much about service as long as the food is good. the guy taking my order just kinda seemed to be over it, which i understand, and just was listening to music. 7/10, he did his job so again the service isn't too concerning for me. when we got the food i noticed both of our burritos were huge which i loved because that means i get all 14 dollars worth of one burrito. and the best part, they throw in a free bag of chips with every order. those chips were good, very addicting and they were fresh. the salsa that they offer, a basic red and green, was VERY good especially the green salsa. better than at most places i have and went great on my burrito. and the burrito itself was very very very good. hands down one of the best california burritos i have had in a while. i swear the burrito was at least 6 inches long. my wife loved her bean and cheese burrito very much as well. it's kind of hard to mess up one of those, but she said it was a very flavorful burrito. i would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for some mexican, not burro and fries and not cotija's, la casita's mexican is the place to go. i was very pleased and will be back next time for a dine in. ”

“ I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The salsa was perfectly hot, adding a delightful kick to the meal. The portions were not only delicious but also generous. Their beer selection was impressive, served cold and refreshing. There’s plenty of seating inside, and the ambience is enhanced by excellent decor, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommended! ”
“ Service is always great. Very friendly staff. The rolled tacos are some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. I always make sure to stop here when I visit San Diego. ”

“ If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, this is it. Although I’m culturally familiar, I come from a completely different background and was welcomed like family at the celebration of the life and legacy of Antonio Abarca. Gracious, friendly, and inviting alone don’t do the atmosphere justice, and the food??? You’ll just have to see for yourself because I don’t think I have the vocabulary. If you’re looking for a home away from home, this is it. ”
“ Ivan and his family have the absolute best burrito shop in SD. Their ingredients are always fresh and every burrito I've ever had was top notch. Won't find a more authentic or delicious burrito anywhere else! ”
