Cesar was outstanding and provided excellent service. He was very attentive, keeping water glasses full and making sure we didn't need anything else. Delena, one of the general managers was awesome too! She checked on us a couple times and even gave us a tour of the dry aged steaks in the refrigerated cabinet! As I already said I can't wait to come back and try one! The decor and feel was so cool too. The inside was very nice with great wall art and decorations, and the patio, where we sat, was cozy and comfortable. Even the menus were nice! Wood and leather bound and very classy. Strange to say at a Mexican restaurant, but the hamberguesa was maybe the best burger I've had. The flavor was so good and the waygu was fantastic. Can't wait to see you guys next time!!

At the end, we were all satisfied with the amount of food there was and the deliciousness of the takeout meal. Highly recommend.

I stopped by on a Monday afternoon around 3:39 PM so the restaurant was pretty quiet with no other…read morecustomers. You order at the counter, and the woman who took my order was very friendly. If you dine in, they provide complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were warm, but had no salt or seasoning, and the salsa was pretty spicy. There isn't a salsa bar with different options available. I ordered the: *3 Mini Adobada Tacos: they were decent, but they didn't have that flavorful, authentic street taco taste that reminds you of Mexico. Very mediocre tacos. The restaurant itself is very spacious with plenty of indoor seating. It's also dog friendly, which is a huge plus. They even keep dog treats at the counter! After ordering, they bring your food to your table, and guests bus their own tables afterward. Since I had my two dogs with me, one of the employees was kind enough to clear the table for me. They also serve alcohol, have a complimentary self serve cold water station, and offer an extensive menu with lots of options. Overall, it's a cute spot with excellent customer service and a welcoming atmosphere. Parking can be a little challenging, and while the menu has plenty to choose from, the food didn't quite deliver the authentic Mexican flavors that San Diego is known for.

The only thing I can think that compares is Cholo's in LA. Where I'm from burritos are 20 bucks, and like I said they're decent, but you can tell level of care and competence at Tapatio's is on another strata. The tortillas are fried to a perfect crisp. The cheese is melted perfectly. The chili rellanos exquisitely dipped in just the right batter... the salsas are smoky sweet. Don't miss Tapatio's!

The orders are made quickly without sacrificing quality and they package everything so that it's all secure during transport.

It's a family and biker-friendly setup but cannot host large parties unless you're down for tailgating.

Service was amazing, so quick to come out with fresh chips and salsa (FRESH! as in they made the chips in-house... rare trait to come by these days IMO). Quantity of food was incredible. I can't speak for the menudo (dad got this) or for the 3 egg platter (not really sure why my mom got this) but $16 for a carne asada burrito as well as the beans, rice, and veggies on the side was such a steal. Especially in Anza Borrego. I would've thought it would maybe be more expensive since it probably costs a lot to bring out the best ingredients in the desert but somehow they have it all figured out. The carne asada burrito meat was top tier. Smoky flavor, soft with charred edges, so flavorful and overall the quantity of the burrito was way more than I was expecting. Lastly, I'm just so happy my dog got to sit outside with us. They have a shaded patio with a couple tables. I think other pet parents followed suit, as this seems to be a hit for dog-friendly spots here in Anza Borrego. I'd highly recommend. What a great find by me. Go me!! This is truly a hole in the wall that needs more recognition. You won't be let down!

However, our driver named CLEMENTE, suggested to my spouse we go here, La Cocina de Doña Esthela. It came with a Michelin Star, but that seemed questionable. We went there on the advice of the driver, CLEMENTE. It was decent food and fairly well priced. COST FOR 3, including driver initially $75.00. I chose the 3 ENCHILADA DINNER, as did my partner. OUR DRIVER ORDERED SHEEP!!! As we waited for the car, the waiter came running out looking for us, mumbling something in Spanish. When my partner returned minutes later, he had about $25 in hand in PESOS!!! He said, after that whole thing, they said that they had admitted to OVERCHARGING US!!! So: $50.00

Despite being very busy, we were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. The space was a bit warm inside, but the incredible food and overall experience made it completely worth it. I had their famous Hotcakes de Elote (corn pancakes), and they were easily my favorite dish of the meal! They were unique, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I also tried their Machaca con Huevo, which was another standout. Everything we ordered was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. Their homemade tortillas and salsa were the perfect finishing touches and added even more authenticity to the meal. The service was excellent -- our waiter was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a wonderful atmosphere. I also noticed the staff singing "Happy Birthday" to guests a couple of times, making it a great spot for a special celebration. I would highly recommend stopping by if you're visiting Valle de Guadalupe. This is definitely a place worth experiencing for the food, hospitality, and unforgettable flavors!
