Best carne asada fries in sd!
Caroline B.

Been going here for over 10+ years, their carne asada fries always hit and their hot sauce is my favorite from any taco shop I've been to (and you can trust this because I'm born & raised SD)- spicy and flavorful! The owners are so sweet, go support your local taco shop guys!! BRING CASH- cash only :)

The food is amazing here! And their all natural drinks are so delicious and refreshing! The service here is excellent! One of the ladies that run this restaurant are the most sweetest nicest ladies ever! We will always come back here because of her, the staff and the delicious food! It's a very clean comfortable place to sit down and enjoy your food. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants some good Mexican food! Thank you guys!!

3 rolled tacos with guacamole

CASH ONLY! Chorizo and potato breakfast burrito. Solid burrito. Everything you want in a Breakfast Burrito. They use French fries for their potatoes, the thicker ones that give a great mouth feel for a burrito. Well mixed chorizo, eggs, cheese, and potatoes. Red salsa is not too spicy and adds just right amount of heat. Called in order and was ready in about 10 minutes.

I've been trying to find new local spots to support around the area and get out the habit of only visiting my usuals to give other small businesses a chance. The cashier was so nice, patient, and communicated really well! The place was small but a few other customers were in and out ordering and picking up orders. We ordered the California burrito, carne asada burrito, fish burrito, rolled tacos, and cheese quesadilla. Everything was pretty good! The carne asada meat was not bland or salty so it was perfect. The fish burrito was good too but nothing impressive. My only complaint is the rolled tacos. I got the basic that came with just guac and cheese which I'm fine with. I'm normally used to the lettuce, pico, and sour cream but it didn't come with it and I didn't feel like adding. My pet peeve is when I order rolled tacos and they put it in a small tray with aluminum foil cover then proceed to place burritos on top of that foil. Therefore squishing the cheese and guac to be all stuck onto the top of the foil. Like why won't you guys just put it in an actual container if there's a topping? So all my cheese was on the foil instead of my rolled tacos. It also was soggy. I probably wouldn't get that again but everything else I ordered was good. Their hot sauce was nice and spicy too! Hot carrots were cooked perfectly with a crunch instead of being soggy.

Wet burrito beans and cheese, carne asada fries and mini tacos  they always have some good food

The food is always delicious , the service is always good and hey are so friendly and keep us coming back.

WHERE THE F IS THE CHEESE!!!!

I asked my buddy to go and get me a bean cheese burrito and add Carne Asada. I gave him $20. He comes back with five dollars and an incorrect order! Mind you a bean and cheese burrito is $7.50. So to add Carne Asada is eight dollars ? They apparently told him they made a Carne Asada burrito and added beans and cheese. Out of curiosity who told them to do that when simply a bean and cheese adding Carne Asada it was all that was asked for. This is completely unacceptable and a shit show for customer service. This will be the last time I'll be returning here and it's unfortunate cause I've been coming here for over 20 something years. Do better!

Given two kinds of salsas. They are spicy.

CASH ONLY. Support small businesses. I live down the street and remember trying this place when I moved here in 2019. Did not return until today. Sister in law commented how yummy it was and we made a mental note to revisit. Great success. Arrived and man in booth starts calling cashier to come help me. No other customers in booths. Very quiet. Ordered carne Asada fries with sour cream, guacamole, and cheese and a Carne Asada burrito with everything on the side. Given two kinds of salsas. Meat was so bomb that we could only conclude they source it from Bonita Market next door, which is where we buy our meat. Meat was tender and flavorful. Will be returning considering quality and proximity. We found both salsas to be very spicy. Recommend!

Bean cheese burrito

Having that Mexican food craving all day long found this spot and I have to say great food. Carne asada fries are on hit packed and I mean packed with carne tender and flavorful full of cheese sour cream and avocado two thumbs up. Roll tacos order of 6 with guacamole and melted cheese the meat was flavorful and wifey approved. Bean and cheese burrito was a bit on the small side but the cheese was melted and the beans where on hit bomb dot com as my little one puts it. All in all good spot will be back Garcia family approved!!!!!

3 rolled tacos $3.80, perfect accompaniment to your Carne asada, machaca, or chorizo burrito!
Daniel P.

I've been coming here for over 30 years and the food remains the same. Incredible. Always flavorful and delicious. This is one of the many family owned Mexican food restaurants in Spring Valley but overall most consistent when referring to flavor, customer service, and experience. They also cater large parties depending on size as my family friends, and neighbors have used them for numerous occasions, graduations, ceremonies and celebrations and they always make the party a memorable success. The food is always delicious. Give them a try next time your in Spring Valley.

Carne Asada Fríes I asked for extra crispy fries and extra crispy meat

I decided to try this place as it was my lunch time and Taco Bell and Jack in the box were full…read more I didn't really expect much since all the taco shops around here are poor to mid in quality. But to my great surprise this was different waaay different. I had the Aporreado which is like machaca con huevo with beans and Mexican rice. It was EXCELLENT. Very tasty although just a tad bit salty. The beans were delicious and you could tell the were not canned. Real refried beans. Yummy! And the tortillas!! They were not those flimsy cornmeal tortillas, they were authentic tortillas de maize. Handmaid while I waited for the order. Delicious. While I was waiting for my order the gentleman I talked to said they had taken over the restaurant 5 months ago. So new owners. If you're in the area of Paradise Valley Road or Spring Valley area you should definitely give this little place a try. I will definitely be back and next time with friends.

I got the mole with beans and rice, the chicken was so tender and the mole was so rich flavorful and perfectly spicy. But the beans somehow became the best thing I ate in a long time, best refried beans I've ever had in my life!!!! And the agua de piña was so good. This restaurant and the chef's cooking is incredibly special I highly recommend!!

I have said this before. Being in Southern San Diego we are just spoiled when it comes to Mexican…read morecuisine. We have so many taco shops in the area. So many that they even outnumber 7-11's. So we have a lot of options. Rambertos is a taco shop that has been in the Spring Valley area very early on. It has lasted the test of time. Since then years later, a Jack In The Box was built next to it and after that just recently a Yoshinoya on the other side. One of the reasons Rambertos has lasted so long is the consistent tasting food. The quality control is very good. Right now it's my family's go to taco shop. With a large menu, there are a lot of choices to pick from. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, sopas and carne asada nachos are among the things you can order. Early morning to late night; you don't even have to leave your car. Just use the drive thru window. With so many taco shops around. What makes Rambertos so special? Well first they have been here for years. So they have to be doing something right. With so many changes all around. Rambertos still remains a constant. Secondly, the taco shop serves some of the best Mexican cuisine in the Valley. Thirdly, with everything from gas to groceries. Everything is expensive. Rambertos is affordable and won't break the bank. So support local businesses especially the good ones. Rambertos is exceptional.

I've had the food here before it's OK. It's nothing great. But it's OK. However, this evening was…read morequite surprising to me. A carne asada burrito and a cheese quesadilla cost me $30. That is expensive. I usually pay about $30 when I do Delivery. But this was a big disappointment. Not sure that I'll frequent this Taco shop in the future. In addition, they charged me for using my debit card. I don't think that's legal. I know they charge you for credit, but not debit. The lady at the window was kind and courteous. But I can't see myself spending $30 for a Casa burrito.
