    It's spicy some people don't like spicy food. I need drink more water and next time say no bean on it

    Service was good and the food in regard to the meat in the tacos was actually very flavorful. The appliance of the tacos could have been better and a little more crisp, but the taste was good. Ambiance was a hometown feeling.

    Even grilled jalapeños upon request

    We had been here once before and I was delicious longtime family owned business. So delicious I tried something called a Gordita Mexicana but forgot pictures . So we are here again I couldn't remember what the name was of what ordered Evelyn immediately remembered us and told what we ordered 3 weeks before. That kind of friendly face and her memory . This kinda customer service is A+ awesome . The super Burrito half carnitas and half steak was so flavorful and packed full of meat my Partner loved it Even though he is Italian Burritos are his favorite food ever!

    Breakfast burrito
    Daniel M.

    The only thing I care about finding in my area is a good, affordable breakfast burrito and I found it here. Carnitas Tijuana has what I currently consider to be the best breakfast burrito that's actually less than $10 in the Pittsburg/Antioch area, which is impressive considering it used to be cheaper and has avocado in it. I'm torn on whether I consider it to be the best breakfast burrito for under $10 in East Contra Costa County since I like El Farolito in Concord a lot but this is geographically much closer to me so it has an edge in convenience. Burrito size is hefty and about the size of my forearm, which I like. What separates this from El Farolito's breakfast burrito, other than ten miles, is that Carnitas Tijuana opts to use hash browns as their filler starch of choice instead of rice to soak up the oils and juices from the protein. I like potatoes so I have no problem with this. I don't think it inherently makes it objectively better or worse than El Farolito's breakfast burrito but for me, it does make it slightly less heavy so I don't completely hate myself as much. From what I could see, everything is freshly made to order and isn't sitting out on a heater like most taquerias I've been to. This means the wait for food can be longer, especially if you pick chorizo for your protein, but since I've always gone when there's no line anyway, it never mattered to me. Long story short, this is my new go to spot for breakfast burritos for the time being. Good stuff and very affordable. That's all I've ever wanted from my area.

    #1. Tacos Combo

    Food was alright. I definitely brought my appetite and it was the first time I tried a Mexican restaurant on this side of the bay. Unfortunately, my tacos were under seasoned and a bit on the soggy/warm-ish side. The interior was definitely pretty and well decorated though! I thought for sure that the food would be just as good when I walked in but probably shouldn't have come in with high expectations. Maybe it was an off day for the chef?

    Wet Carnitas burrito

    Great wet carnitas burrito! Carnitas was delicious! Salsa tip top as well. Friendly service. Clean bathroom.

    NOT AS ADVERTISED

    Carnitas platter is supposed to come with homemade tortillas. What I received was all packaged tortillas. Not that big a deal right? WRONG. The homemade tortillas price is a lot more expensive in the restaurant. For $30 I could've just bought so much more elsewhere. I felt super ripped off . Not going to bother coming here anymore.

    I love this place, but this visit absolutely sealed the deal all over again…read more We ordered the carne asada super burrito and it was perfection. It was packed with flavorful, juicy meat and had the ideal ratio of beans, rice, and cheese -- every bite was balanced and satisfying. No skimpy filling here. Just a beautifully built burrito done right. The chips and guacamole were just as impressive. The chips came out hot, thin, and perfectly fresh -- that light crisp that shatters just right. The guacamole tasted bright and fresh, clearly made with care and real ingredients. We also tried the pastor torta, and wow. It was loaded with tender, well-seasoned meat, and the bread was soft, fresh, and toasted perfectly. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside -- exactly how a torta should be. Every component worked together so well. And the piña agua fresca? Super fresh and refreshing -- the perfect complement to everything we ordered. We come here often, but this time we switched it up and tried the burrito -- and it did not disappoint. This is easily one of the best taquerias in town. Consistently delicious, generous portions, and clearly made with pride. We'll definitely be back (soon!) to try the quesabirria. So grateful to have a spot like this in town.

    This place was on my list to try. I'm glad I finally did. Ordered asada and pastor super burrito's,…read moreeverything. Super meaty! Meat was super tasty, super satisfying. Every bite. I forgot to ask for salsa, but I didn't even need it. DELICIOUS! Also ordered a pastor torta (that was eaten later in the day). Was STILL delicious even-though the bottom was soggy. I'm sure if it was consumed right away the bottom would not be soggy. Try this place out. You will not be disappointed. We'll be back for the other items on the menu!

    Thank God for another meal, because this place definitely did not serve one made with care…read more The experience started off confusing before we even got the food. We pulled up around 12:50, and the sign on the door said closed, while the lighted sign said open. Mixed signals right away. We literally had to call just to find out if anyone was even there. I ordered a super burrito wet, half green and half red sauce. I was told what it came with, but when I got the food, key ingredients were missing. No real sour cream, no proper pico de gallo, and barely anything that made it feel like an actual super burrito. I also ordered another super burrito and asked for ranchero meat, because that is clearly something they sell there. If you sell ranchero tacos, then obviously ranchero meat exists in your kitchen and should be an option in a burrito too. Instead, the burrito came in a box looking like they already knew it wasn't put together right. When I got home and opened it, I was honestly disappointed. The photos speak for themselves. This was not a super burrito. It was a sloppy tortilla overloaded with rice and meat, with almost nothing else inside to balance it out. No beans, barely any vegetables, no real pico, and no care in the way it was made. It looked like somebody just stuffed whatever was easiest in there and called it done. And before anyone tries to say I didn't ask for certain things, you can literally see tiny pieces of tomato in there, which shows some kind of veggie mix was supposed to be part of it. But overall, it was still mostly just rice and meat. That is not what people expect when they order a super burrito. The wet burrito was just as bad presentation-wise. It should have been smothered properly, with that melty, flavorful, put-together look. Instead, it looked rushed, sloppy, and halfway done. Even the cheese on top looked like it was thrown on without any effort. This whole meal felt like it was made with no pride. Confusing service, missing ingredients, weak execution, and burritos that looked more like a struggle meal than something worth paying for. Grateful to have food, always. But I would not come back for this. Here's a shorter, sharper Yelp version too: Pulled up around 12:50 and the sign said closed, but the open light was on. We had to call just to see if anyone was there. That should've been the first warning. Ordered a wet super burrito, half green and half red, and another super burrito with ranchero meat. What I got was a sloppy mess. The photos speak for themselves. These were not super burritos -- they were mostly rice and meat stuffed into a tortilla with missing ingredients and no care. No real pico de gallo, no beans, barely any balance, and the wet burrito looked rushed and poorly finished. The cheese on top looked thrown on, not melted and smothered the way it should be. One burrito even came in a box looking like it had already fallen apart. If you sell ranchero tacos, then ranchero should clearly be available as burrito meat too. No excuse there. The places was alone for it to be lunch hour . Not a lot of people Overall, this food looked and tasted like it was made with no pride. Grateful for the meal, but definitely not worth the money.

    Cutest little hole in the wall that's bigger once you step inside than you would even have…read moreexpected. Staff was super friendly and attentive! Our food came out in record time and was actually delicious! Believe it or not it tasted even better than it looked and it looked really good when it arrived. I ordered the cheese enchiladas and they were some of the best I have had In the Bay Area. Sadly most people can't even make a cheese enchilada but this place made it perfect! I can still taste that delicious sauce on the enchiladas. My hubby got the chicken quesadilla and although it looked very simple he said it had great flavor. We will come again soon!
