    15 mins on hold listening to them move forks around and clean dishes. Lmao

    Very UNPROFESSIONAL. No reason I should call for takeout and be left on hold 15 minutes enough time for me to leave my house drive to your restaurant see that the line and the restaurant is empty place my order and still not getting a response on the phone that is WILD. so I let the cashier at the front know AS I'm placing my order hey I'm still on the line with you guys. Do you know that you guys put someone on HOLD 15 minutes ago you guys are missing orders for one you guys are not even able to take one customers order who called that a certain time because you guys are just negligent and then the girl at the front just smiled and says "Mhm" like you guys are Hella unprofessional and I'm not spending my hard earned money there like I don't care you guys need the money I don't I can easily go up and down this railroad street and find 5 to 10 other spots just like you guys so I'm not understanding why you have cashiers with attitude like you guys don't care about the customers when you guys actually need us. And yep I turned around and walked out. I'm not paying you a dime

    Carnitas Tijuana is a hidden gem with authentic Mexican cuisine right in the heart of its community. Great carnitas burritos, wit perfectly seasoned pork that melts in your mouth. Wrapped in homemade tortilla, each bite delivers a burst of flavor, complemented by fresh toppings that elevate the dish even further. a great start to your day, their breakfast burritos with a beer or 2 these burritos provide a satisfying meal that will keep you energized throughout the morning. The balance of flavors and textures is simply superb. What truly sets Carnitas Tijuana apart is the friendly service. And it's amazing environment and the atmosphere Carnitas Tijuana promises delicious food that will keep you coming back for more!

    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.

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

    Breakfast burrito

    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.

    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!

    #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.

Just please slow down a bit and don't make people feel rushed to leave.

And when we did order our desert we asked for the CARAMEL churros and she brings us it with Chocolate....when I asked for the caramel and not the chocolate she said "oh we don't have caramel, but it still says that on the menu" not even really an apology either to that. I did start out to give this a 4 start but due to the experience of feeling rushed, I'm giving it a 3 star. Food again was cooked so so well! Yea after careful consideration and not being the only one who noticed lol this place is kinda racist. It was VERY obvious how my mother in law and i were treated compared to the other customers. WE WILL NOT BE COKING BACK.

I must admit I was jealous of her tacos as they were still unbroken after removing them from the wrap they're served in because it seems every time I've ordered their crispy tacos the shell always breaks open and splits at the bottom. Very disappointing. The taco salad was very tasty with all of my favorites included. We enjoy eating here and my only real complaint is their carne asada soft taco that comes filled with whole pinto beans besides the meat. I don't understand this and to me it really doesn't add to the taco. I didn't know they served them like this or I would have requested no to the beans and I love whole and refried beans, but not in my tacos! Their restaurant is colorful with wonderfully painted or printed images of Mexican life. The staff always seem quite friendly and they are usually very busy. Plus they serve carveza! Their salsa bar doesn't do it for me though, whats supposed to be their mild, Pico de Gallo is too liquidity and as much as I use to enjoy spicy food my 68 y/o body just cannot tolerate it anymore, especially on the way out one day I hope to order their anaconda burrito to share with some friends

    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 is an update to my previous review. I really wanted to continue supporting this establishment…read morebecause it's conveniently located and the food is good, but unfortunately the last few visits have been disappointing. I usually call my order in ahead of time, but yesterday a gentleman answered, put me on hold, and never came back to the phone. I ended up driving there and ordering three super carne asada burritos with no pico. The order was simple, and I paid $52. When I got home, all three burritos turned out to be regular burritos with only rice, beans, and meat. They were missing the ingredients that make them "super." I immediately called the restaurant, and the girl at the front--who already knows me because we're regular customers and we've had previous issues with incorrect orders and her attitude--answered the phone. Instead of apologizing or trying to resolve the issue, she became defensive. She told me to bring the burritos back, but it was already late and I wasn't going to drive back out. She then said she was going to check the security cameras to see whether the cooks had added the ingredients, which made me feel like she was accusing me of lying. The problem wasn't just the incorrect order--it was how I was treated. Good customer service means listening to customers and handling mistakes professionally, not becoming hostile when someone calls about an order they paid for but didn't receive correctly. I hope the owner has an opportunity to see this review, as I'd like this feedback to help improve the customer experience. I truly wanted to continue supporting this business, but after multiple incorrect orders and the way this situation was handled, I won't be returning. My picture is below for reference.

    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.
