    The food here was good, we ordered the California burrito, the beef taco and rolled tacos special. The service was quick but I am removing one star because the food was not warm, even though they started making our food after we ordered. The meat was flavorful, and my rolled tacos were thick, cripsy and covered in sauce and guac. We also enjoyed their hot sauces, a spicy green sauce that was our favorite and a dark smokey sauce that did pair nicely with the beef taco.

    Large selection of foods.

    Loved this place, super authentic Mexican food. And I know authentic Mexican - I approve. The service was great and prices were good. The food was made quickly too. Overall great.

    Stopped in for a late night meal with my wife, got a free drink with our food order. This is your typical small Mexican place environment. The service was good and I liked their green hot sauce. The food may not have been as fresh as I would have liked (it was late after all) but it still tasted good. I would go here again. Another plus is they are not stingy on hot sauce as many places seem to have become. You get a whole bottle to use as you like! Will update this review later when we go back.

    The beans were so cold the cheese never melted on top.

    Lots of regulars in here loving this sweet little Mexican Food eatery. Tasting there food I can see why. I ordered their #2 Combo Plate: Cheese Enchilada & Chili Rellano with rice and beans. All very tasty. Came with a roasted pepper on top. Even the pepper was delicious. I'm not a fan of sweet sauces on savory items but the touch of sweetness in their Enchilada Sauce worked. My rice and beans were on the lukewarm side. Hence the lack of a fifth star for now. They kindly microwaved it though. Free parking. We'll be back!

    I don't know about the rest of their food but the rolled tacos are the best I've had in North County San Diego!! You can tell that they roll the tacos themselves because how they look and how thick they were. Also the green sauce that they put on the tacos is amazing! I will definitely be back for the real tacos.

    I've passed by Chito's a few times during lunch and one day finally came in. Located near Target right off the 78 freeway, you'll find Chito's Taco Shop. When I first walked in, I didn't expect for the restaurant to look big inside, but was pleasantly surprised. It was also well maintained. I was greeted by a friendly worker who took my order at the counter. Ordered five rolled tacos. Looked over at their flavored drinks and saw that the horchata dispenser was missing so I opted for a fountain drink. Their salsa bar already had individual containers of red and green sauce, a nice touch that seems more sanitary than your regular pour your own sauce bar. The guacamole that came with the rolled tacos was more of a creme versus your typical thicker guacamole. Wasn't too bothered by that since it was still flavorful. I also like how there was a substantial and equal amount of cheese and lettuce. It was a filling meal overall and a pretty good lunch option.

    Pico that they call their salsa with a nice chunk of mystery meat in it

    The chilaquiles were fantastic! The mole sauce was a little on the spicy side but really great flavor.

You enter and there is an awesome salsa bar with many salsas, Mexican carrots and onions, chopped onions, and so much more, Mexican soccer (ok, futbol) on the tube, homemade aguas frescas, and real cooking happening behind the counter. You should be convinced by now that this is the real deal. I beg you: please do not order a bean and cheese burrito here. The adobada burrito is wonderful. It is perfectly-sized and the meat is freshly-cooked, well-seasoned and delicious. I have no doubt every item on the menu tastes great, probably even the bean and cheese burrito. With your burrito, you get two small plastic cups for salsa and a baggie for carrots or peppers or whatever. It is 25 cents for each additional salsa cup, which seems a little steep. But whatever you do, make sure you get the chipotle salsa. It may be the best salsa in history. It is honestly that good. I drove 25 minutes getting there and another 25 minutes getting home in order to try this place out, and there is a taco shop a quarter mile from me that I happily passed. I would make this drive every time.

    Came in for an early dinner and to try this place out. Have heard many things via social media…read more For starters, we got complimentary chips & salsa. The salsa was good IMO, though the rest of the table thought it was too spicy. For drinks we chose a Mexican Candy ($15) and Hibiscus Margarita ($14). They were okay. I think not really worth the price (barely any buzz). I'll probably stick with a beer next time but that's okay. For food, we ordered the Chile Relleno & Cheese Enchilada ($20), Queso Birria Taco Plate ($18) and for me, the Fajita Mixta ($26). Everyone liked their food. For me, I've had better fajitas elsewhere (Mariscos Hualtulco is my fav) but these were still good (except no green bell pepper for some reason). I noticed the *new* menu price for the fajitas was $29 (Mixta), but on the bill it was still $26 (old menu price). So be aware, the new price is coming obviously. I want to try the Molcajete but $38 is a stretch! Atmosphere was okay. It was a Saturday and although it was early, I expected a more vibrant feel, but maybe that comes later in the night. There was plenty of seating. Parking was okay, but the lot was oddly packed however even though the restaurant was not. I would come back to try something else on the menu, but with so many great Mexican options in our area, they need that extra something to attract more patrons. A happy hour with $10 margs for starters would be nice.

    This place is great!…read more Wife and I came out on a date night to this local spot we've been trying to come to for months. It was on a Friday night, the place was packed, and difficult to find a spot to park. The line to order was almost out the door, but still fast to get through, and we were quick to choose what we wanted before struggling to find a spot to sit and talk. After about 15 minutes, our order was ready and we got to enjoy our food. We started with the Carne Asada Nachos, Refried Beans on the side. The meat was flavorful, very tender, and plentiful atop a pile of crisp and fresh tortilla chips. The cheese was nice and salty and the sour cream was warm to the point where it drizzled over it all nicely. All in all, it was a very tasty start to the night. The only two issues I had with it were that the guac was a bit overly pureed, making it kind of runny. And the refried beans had a very sour flavor, making me think that they were over the edge of going spoiled. I had to thank my wife's aversion to eating beans, helping us avoid having them spooned on top, which would have ruined this course. I also had an Al Pastor Taco, Craft Coast Style. The whole it was crisped up well, the cheese forming a great crust on the inside of the taco. The meat was sweetly marinaded, flavorful and delicious. On top of it was a good amount of beans, onions, cilantro, and guacamole, making for a good sized taco without any overflowing. It was pretty damn tasty. So, our first trip out here had more highs than lows, resulting in a very positive initial dinner. I'm sure those beans were just a one-off, at least I hope they were. And there's still hope that the guac may have had too much lime or had been overly mixed this time around. A second trip is definitely in the cards, with more of the family to expand what comes to the table.
