Looking beyond the obvious that La Posta De Acapulco needs no drive thru. Just to review, it seems to me that their known for popular menu items like: Menudo, Beans, and their famous bacon breakfast burrito with beans. With that said, in this Yelp review I want to highlight that the experience while at La Posta De Acapulco Mexican restaurant was good overall. The seating areas were clean, and the service was good. The food was hot, and flavorful. I opted for the #16 and the #10. Portions are decent, and prices are fair; expect to spend twenty dollars per person, don't forget to ad tax. Enjoy

The California burrito was excellent-great flavor, decent portion, and I'd definitely order it…read moreagain. However, for me, salsa is just as important as the burrito itself. A great salsa can make an already good meal exceptional. Unfortunately, the red salsa was a letdown. It tasted like a watered-down tomato sauce with almost no flavor or spice. It lacked the fresh, bold taste I'd expect from a good Mexican r. If they improved the salsa, this place would be an easy 5 stars for me. As it stands, the burrito was fantastic, but the salsa kept the experience from being outstanding.

It also felt like the torta was mostly just chicken, without much else going on. The menu said it came with Oaxaca cheese, but the cheese seemed to be cooked onto the bread to the point that it was crispy, so I really didn't get the flavor or texture I was expecting from Oaxaca cheese. I understand that I came later at night, but I still expected the food to be fresh and enjoyable. Overall, the torta was disappointing, and based on this first experience, I'm unlikely to return.

They're too small of tacos to be charging that much in my opinion. But I frikin love this place, their tacos are good but you have to realize that this isn't a good long term solution. If the tacos were $1.99, I'd still say it's worth it because they're good tacos. Prioritize Chicken, Al Pastor, Carnitas as $1.50 or even $1.99 and the Asada as $2.50 and I think that will retain business here for Tacos. At the end of the day I hope that they realize it and stay in business, I love this place, this is coming from a good place!

It also came with grilled onions, delicious rice and other items. It didn't have salsa and didn't need it. The peppers were spicy and added a nice heat. So good. Family had pollo asado tacos with guacamole that could've used a little more placer, but the chicken was flavorful. Hubby tried shredded beef rolled tacos packed with meat and covered in cheese, sauce and guacamole. Hubby also had a surf and turf quesetaco with carne asada and shrimo. All of the food was delicious, made to order and piping hot. Kind of a whole in the wall and a hidden gem. Thanks for the heads up Yelpers.

We love City Tacos and will continue to visit on a regular basis.) We love City Tacos in La Mesa. We come here often. Normally when you order the carne asada tacos they are made from perfectly charred seasoned beef. I recommended them to my husband and said everything else pales in caparison as a beef eater. What we received tonight was a shredded beef taco with pieces of pork rinds on top. I was so disappointed. If this was an attempt at a replacement or trying something new the cashier should have said something. Please just be honest as to what you are serving for the night so we have the opportunity to make different choices if needed. I'll be back, but now I'll have to ask a lot of questions before ordering since I don't trust the menu.

I don't even know where to start except WOW. After trying an amazing mariscos food truck the day…read morebefore, I was hooked and it was all I could think about. I wanted to find a sit down spot that could deliver that same citrusy, flavor packed experience and this place was everything. We came in pretty close to closing without realizing, and I hate doing that because I know how it feels working in food service, but the staff still maintained such a great attitude. We were told to seat ourselves and while the inside was way too hot to sit comfortably, the outdoor patio was perfect. Our server brought out water and menus almost immediately and even after realizing they closed at 8pm, we never felt rushed at all. The menu is full of mariscos classics like ceviches, aguachiles, tostadas, and larger plates. Prices range from affordable to a little higher, but the portions definitely reflect that. My husband and I both got tostadas to start. I got the La Special and he got the aguachile tostada, and thinking the portions would be small, we also ordered carne asada fries and a California burrito... which we definitely didn't need... BUTT I am glad we got them because YUM! The tostadas were a 100/10. The portions alone felt more than an appetizer/snack. The La Special was loaded with raw shrimp, cooked shrimp, and octopus, all super fresh with great texture. I just wish there was a little more avocado. The aguachile had that perfect citrusy, spicy kick that makes it addicting. Incredible, and I mean it. Our server also brought out a variety of sauces like chipotle crema, green salsa, red salsa, and sour cream. I added some chipotle sauce to the carne asada fries, which already came with guac and sour cream, and it took it to another level. The portion was huge, especially compared to places charging $20+ for fries. These were around $15 and came with crispy fries, flavorful meat, and a good amount of cheese. The California burrito was $12.99 and really filling with carne asada, fries, and cheese. The tortilla was soft but held everything together well and it hit exactly how a California burrito should. I seriously left with no complaints. The service was amazing, the food exceeded expectations, and this is definitely going into our regular rotation.

I use to come to this JIB all the time, now today's visit was because I felt like having a Jumbo jack. I ordered 2 without cheese. What I got was both with cheese. Of course they re-did my order, but I wasn't even offered a refund for paying for the cheese. Now this is not the first time they screwed up my order. In the past I just let it slide, today's experience is being posted on Yelp. All of the employees are Hispanic and probably 99% of them don't understand English.

I have been to lots and lots of jack in the box restaurants over the years. They are more or less the same. The food is identical, naturally, it's a franchise. And the overall look is also identical. The difference is the people. That is what makes on place different from the other. It is the friendly smiles and the great service that makes on place more outstanding then the other. That is why I am placing a review and giving this place 5 stars. Good work guys. read more
