My go to place for Mexican food. Love their burritos and quesadillas. Also the longer running hours is a huge plus for late diners like me.

If you're looking to get some quick Mexican food, this is a go to for me. I don't need the fancy plated food, I want to eat some good ol' burritos and carne asada fries. Every time I've gone it's been a good experience. I think their proportions to price is decent and they're very filling. I will admit that their birria tacos are very questionable because I personally didn't like it and I'm not sure if birria tacos are supposed to have beans in then. This place is more for take out than dine in.

I've been looking for decent Mexican food in the Poway / Carmel Mountain area for a bit and this is probably my favorite. I've been here 7-8 times so far, typically for lunch, and the food has been fresh, quick, and tasty. The service has been friendly and I haven't had any issues. It's basically a shack with a drive through, but honestly that's probably a good sign for a nearby spot to grab a burrito.
