    Shredded Beef Taco
    Tracy H.

    Very small hole in the wall. From the outside you would not know the deliciousness that is inside. Was a chilly morning and we craved soup. Arrived right after it open. The place was clean and staff were friendly. However, the either has the A/C or the heater wasn't working, because it was freezing inside. No worries, we were having soup for breakfast. We ordered two chicken and rice soups and a shredded beef taco. The soup was hot and delicious. The best part is taking some of the chicken& rice & avocado and putting it in the piping hot tortillas they give you & making a chicken burrito. Slurp. The taco was good and the meat was clean, no fat. My only complaint on the taco was it seemed that there was more lettuce & cheese than meat. It was still tasty. This place better never close.

    Stumbled in here while on a quest with a friend. The service here was fast, the food was good and it was affordable and quality. A family feeling place anyone would visit and be happy. Would come again!

    I found this place from an online search for caldo (mexican soup) because I was feeling under the weather. This place prides itself on caldo de pollo, so I wanted to give it a try. The building itself is fairly unassuming - when I walked in the atmosphere was incredibly authentic. There were beautiful colorful paintings and decorations along the walls. I called in the order to go because I didnt want to get anyone sick, and the lady who answered my call was the one to check me out at the register when my food was ready. Fast and kindly service. When I got home, I opened up the soup and started to eat. The stock was really good, and there were big chunks of chicken. This is where I was disappointed- there was no chayote, carrot, corn, zucchini or potato. ONLY chicken, rice, three slices of avocado, onions and cilantro. It was quite empty as far as the usual caldo that I'm accustomed to. It still tasted good, but I thought that it needed a little more sustenance instead of being just mostly broth. Granted I didn't order any other item, so I can only review based on the soup - if I order more, I'll update the review. But for now, I unfortunately won't be ordering the soup again.

    Their chicken soup is seriously healing. Sick? Lourdes Cold day? Lourdes Hot day? Don't care, Lourdes! I typically order the soup online to-go, but the dine in experience is also nice. Super local Escondido spot with warm & cozy vibes inside. The soup is delightfully simple with broth, rice, generous amount of chicken, and topped with onion/cilantro/avocado. Asking for it "extra spicy" adds the perfect flavor boost in my opinion. Truthfully, their other food is only okay, but their chicken soup is so good that it still deserves the 5 stars. Staff is also very friendly. I will continue to be a regular here. :)

    I travel 5 1/2 miles just for this soup! I will buy two large caldo de pollo (no rice) especially when I'm sick. Hands down, it's the best around here.

    This is a sad excuse for a California burrito honestly, I've never had such a small burrito. The chicken soup is very good though

    How long is to long to wait for soup it's been 50 minuets?

    Hmm... I've never had to wait that long! Things happen, it wouldn't hurt to ask the nice lady at the register about your order to make sure your order wasn't accidentally misplaced or something. ¡Buen Provecho! Enjoy your soup, you'll love it!

The shrimp burrito was enough to honestly feed two people. The fries alone were enough to feed 3. There was only two of us to tackle these orders. That being said, you definitely get what you pay for. Sayulitas offers great value for the price. Our total came out to about $42 for all the food. They give a slight discount if you pay in cash. The bolt fries had curly fries, longanisa, guac, cheese and sour cream. Those were my favorite. The flavors blended well together. The shrimp burrito was ok. The rice was hard and old so it was difficult to eat. I would probably recommend skipping the burrito, hence the 4/5. There is plenty of seating in the restaurant, and there is plenty of parking in a shared lot with other businesses. This spot is great for munchies.

I'm not sure what changed in the kitchen but I pretty bummed on the last 5 times I've gone. I get the California every time I go and add guac for reference, I'm a simple guy. Under-seasoned meat or not enough meat, soggy or dry/stale fries, light on guacamole when added sometimes, missing cheese. The consistency has been really off unfortunately for a pretty simple burrito. My last time I went I ordered the usual California burrito no sour cream add guac, got the burrito and it had sour cream and guac.... But no meat???? It was a big tortilla with sour cream and guacamole only in it lol. I laughed at the mix up and the customer service was great getting a refund (didn't request it they just gave it to me) and replacement burrito. Still decided it was my last time going there after that as even the replacement tasted like the meat had no seasoning on it. Writing this review to hope they turn things around some time in the future, I miss coming here but can't justify spending that much $ for a burrito I'm worried to be bummed about....again.

There's almost always security outside which brings peace of mind that the employees and factory workers are well looked after, a safe place to work and to shop for basic essentials in addition to their amazing tortillas such as ripe avocados and other produce, hot sauces, dry rice and beans, sweet treats and pastries, a beverage cooler, and I hear their prepared food is good, too.

As soon as I stepped foot in the store a woman steps in front of me and says I can't come in with my scooter.

Imagine turning away a potential long time customer because of some weird store policy. Pushing a scooter is the equivalent of pushing a stroller and I guarantee they don't kick out people that may come in with strollers. Guess I'll never know if their food is any good, but judging by the attitude I got at the front door it isn't.

    I'm giving this place 3 stars for now because my first experience was genuinely great, but my…read moresecond visit was disappointing enough that I almost rated it 2 stars. The first time I visited a few weeks ago, I had a really positive experience. The location was a little hard for me to find, but once I got there, it seemed worth it. I walked in craving a breakfast burrito and was helped by a very nice, slender gentleman at the counter. I asked for a ham, bacon, and sausage breakfast burrito and also requested that it be cut in half. He was friendly, said no problem, and within minutes I had exactly what I ordered. That burrito was delicious. The salsa station was stocked and convenient with self-serve cups readily available, and the atmosphere was nice. The people around me were friendly, and one gentleman even mentioned this was the place that used to be near Peterson's Donuts. Overall, it was a great first impression and I left happy, already planning to come back. Fast forward to today, Saturday, April 25, 2026 around 10:30 AM, and unfortunately, my second experience was the complete opposite. This time there was a young woman working the register, and from the moment I approached, she didn't seem very welcoming. I told her I wanted to order a breakfast burrito but wasn't sure what kind I wanted today. She told me the only options were bacon, egg, cheese and tater tots, or egg and cheese. I politely asked if I could add ham and sausage and pay extra, since that's what I had ordered before. She immediately responded that they "didn't have that type of breakfast burrito." That response confused me because I had literally ordered one there before. I wasn't going to argue, especially because her tone and attitude made me feel like I was bothering her just by asking questions. I then asked if the burrito could be cut in half and never really got a clear response. I also noticed the salsa station no longer had the little self-serve cups available, so I had to ask for those too. The same cashier asked how many I needed, and I said two. A few minutes later, another woman called my name and handed me the burrito. I sat down and realized it wasn't cut in half like I requested. At that point, I had to go back up and ask for a plastic knife and fork just to cut it myself. Which was not a problem or issue for me. I ate half of the burrito, but honestly, it wasn't nearly as good as the first one. The taste was underwhelming, and by the time I left I was just so disappointed. I ended up throwing the other half away after I left. Consistency matters, especially when the first experience set the bar high. The food was great the first time, but the service and quality were lacking the second time around. My honest opinion: if someone is having a bad day, they probably shouldn't be the first face customers interact with at the register. I may update this review depending on how management responds, because I know this place can do better based on my first visit.

    I've been to Mi Guadalajara in Escondido a handful of times now, and my wife and I keep coming back…read morebecause, overall, it's a solid spot for Mexican food in North County San Diego. It's got that classic, welcoming family-owned vibe that's been around since the '80s, and we always leave feeling satisfied--even if it's not always perfect. The interior is pretty cool and distinctive. Think big, spacious dining areas with vibrant traditional Mexican decor: colorful murals on the walls (some really elaborate ones that give it almost a resort-like feel), solid wood furniture, chandeliers, and that open, multi-level layout that makes it feel grand without being stuffy. It's large enough that even on busier nights, you rarely have to wait long for a table, which is a huge plus. Service is one of the consistent highlights here. The staff is friendly, quick, and chatty in the best way--they remember little things, keep the chips and salsa flowing, and make you feel like regulars even if it's just your third or fourth visit. No complaints there; it's fast, accurate, and genuinely warm. Now, the food: it's always fresh, which I really appreciate--no skimping on ingredients or anything that tastes like it's been sitting around. Portions are generous, and when it's on point, it's really good. We've had some great meals here that make us think, "Yep, this is why we come back." But I'll be honest--there's some inconsistency from visit to visit. The flavors don't always match what I remember from previous times. Sometimes the seasoning is spot-on and bold; other times, it's dialed way back. Our most recent dinner was a perfect example of that. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, hoping for that rich, comforting flavor, but they came out pretty mild--almost under-seasoned, lacking that punch I was craving. The rice on the side was a bit tough and dry, like it had overcooked or sat too long, which made it harder to enjoy. It wasn't terrible by any means (nothing was inedible, and the rest of the plate was fine), but it just didn't hit the high notes we've gotten before. It's frustrating because we've had better enchiladas and fluffier rice here on other trips. That said, the inconsistency hasn't been bad enough to turn us off. The highs are high enough, the atmosphere is enjoyable, the service is great, and it's a reliable option when we're in the mood for Mexican without venturing too far. My wife and I still enjoy it and will definitely be back--we're hoping the next visit brings back that memorable flavor we love. If you're in the Escondido area and want a big, festive Mexican spot with friendly people and usually tasty food, give Mi Guadalajara a try. It's worth checking out!

    Gave this place a second try during happy hour and didn't change my mind…read more Service was decent. We were at the bar area this time. Again liked the decor, they need to curate it down a little. Music and better lighting would elevate it so much. We got two different menus and got confused but apparently one was the old menu. Drinks... 6/10. My mangoneada needed more mango and tajin, it needed more flavor. My friends thought their drinks were also just ok as well. One had to ask for more hot sauce for her michelada, they only had tapatío. She said it was bland. Foods also just ok. The birria tacos were the best part, def would order again. Tortilla didn't split, good portion and the consomé was good. Cheese dip tasted like velveta. Nachos with beef were decent. Fried ice cream was not good. I've had this dish many times and it was stale and didn't taste fried. Idk if the cereal was stale or the ice cream was so frozen but it was not good. The salsa that comes with the chips is more of a tomato based and we weren't offered other salsas. We asked and got two others but the flavor was just not there. Paid about 60 bucks with tip for two happy hour items, a mangonada and dessert. Again, if the flavors were there, it would be worth and I would be back. It's such a unique space, easy to get to, plenty of parking, beautiful art in the center portion, they are so close to getting it right.
