    Mango salsa
    Betty G.

    We have been going to this location for a long time but have not been back for a few months and totally forgot about them. Stopped by tonight for the National Burrito Day. Hubby had the Ultimo burrito with chicken and I had the Diablo burrito with chicken and without the tortilla. Delicious food, as always. Few burnt pieces of chicken but their grilled chicken is always so tasty. I cut out the burnt pieces. I usually do not like mexican rice but theirs was very good and not dry at all, like other places. The manager, which has been there forever, brought the food out quickly. The gal that took the order was nice and friendly. Told her I did not want the tortilla for my burrito but would rather have it in a bowl instead. She was quick to ask me if I wanted any lettuce with the bowl. That was great. Yes, please! And that's service. Their salsa bar is always fresh and clean, with a good variety of salsa. Great food. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

    For franchise, fast food; it's better than Taco Bell but don't expect to find a value menu here. - Big Aloha!

    Burrito Al Pastor - Rice, black or pinto beans, al pastor carnitas, onion, cilantro mix, hot salsa, grilled pineapple & cotila cheese. Burrito Baja Carnitas - Melted Jack cheese, fresh hand-made guacamole & pico de gallo wrapped in a warm flour tortilla and carnitas.

    I had a neighborhood party and catered from here. Carmello, the manager took great care in helping me to order the proper amount of food. All of my guests loved everything and it was the perfect amount!

    Americano Taco

    This is my go to restaurant. I seriously go once a week. The service here is amazing, everyone is so sweet! The food is always amazing. My go to meal is the Americano taco combo and it's the best! Definitely recommend!

    Clean and fully stocked. Thses two are working non stop. Cheers

    See all

    Staff: The young lady was really nice. I was very impressed…read moreby the service. Quality:Quantity: We got 3 California burritos which are huge. They are packed with cheese, French fries, carne asada, and sour cream. I've been eating these for years but it has been awhile since I've been in. Grabbed some of their famous red salsa. These burritos are huge. Value: A little pricey at $14 for a burrito but it is delicious and packed so worth it. Overall: Been coming here for many years and plan to return again when I am in the area. They have a nice ambiance, with plenty of seating, and remodeled fairly recently.

    Absolutely horrible!! WILL NOT, CANNOT, follow directions or…read moreread your order correctly to saves their lives. I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt multiple times (my bad) and they CONSISTENTLY get orders completely wrong. Tonight carne asada nachos had ZERO meat, the cheese was completely cold and not heated at all (not at all melted). Paid extra for flour tortilla underneath that was missing. Paid for extra condiments on the side that were missing. The tortilla chips were completely cold. We are down the street from this location and they have gotten countless orders from us over the years. They have slowly and consistently lost their quality, reputation, ability to read and/or pay attention/give a $hite about their customers or getting ANYTHING at all correct. Take my word for it and order from any of the other 200 Mexican restaurants in the area. The worse one you choose will be better than this dumpster fire!!! Not only will we NEVER return to this incompetent "establishment", I will make sure they find out just how powerful word of mouth advertising can be. I'm going to go make something edible for dinner now. Happy holidays!

    I came to Bienvenidos a Sabrosada Mexican Food looking for a good burrito under $10, so I'll admit…read moreI was a little disappointed when the total for the chili verde burrito came out to around $15 after tax. But wow--was it worth it. When it arrived, I was honestly shocked. This thing was massive--the biggest burrito I've ever seen. My plan was to eat half for lunch and save the rest for dinner. Then I took the first bite... and all plans went out the window. It was hot, perfectly seasoned, packed with tender meat, and bursting with flavor. Hands down the best chili verde I've ever had. The specialty salsas took it over the top--they were fresh, balanced, and addicting. I ended up finishing the entire burrito in one sitting and didn't regret a thing. If anything, I would've happily paid $25 for this masterpiece. This place is something special. I'm officially adding Sabrosada to my regular lunch rotation.

    What a great place to dine in the shadow of the San Juan Capistrano mission. Delicious Mexican food…read morewith many seafood choices as well. I introduced myself to the owner, Enrique and complimented him on what a fine place with great service. He was a gracious man and I could see the pride of 33 years in one location within him.

    Very disappointing experience at El Maguey Mexican Restaurant in San Juan Capistrano. We came in…read morefor a quick lunch and had to ask for chips twice, only to finally receive a half-empty basket. Then, when we asked for more, we were actually charged for additional chips, which felt unreasonable right from the start. It got worse when we saw a "split plate" fee added to the bill--even though we didn't split a meal. We simply asked for an extra plate and were still charged. That kind of nickel-and-diming really takes away from the experience. For a lunch spot in San Juan Capistrano, the food is also overpriced for what you get. The quality and portions just don't justify the cost. See the attached bill--the upcharges alone were nearly a third of the total. Two enchiladas and chips came out to about $35 before tip, which just isn't reasonable for lunch. Well, at least they didn't add a 3% credit card fee... maybe that's coming next. Overall, El Maguey Mexican Restaurant missed the mark on both value and customer experience. Unfortunately, we won't be back anytime soon.
