Mexican restaurant run by non-Mexicans with tasty and generous amounts of Mexican food. We shared the nachos carne asada with half no cheese because of my dairy free son. Lotso food and tasty meat. Chips stayed crunchy all the way to the bottom. Also had the machaca burrito and taquitos. Yummy. Great service. Friendly and very accommodating! Plenty of inside table seating. Glad they have a self-serve soda fountain. Next time we're in Santee, we'll be back.

The name is what grabbed my attention to want to a Breakfast Burrito since we were in the area…read more I got a Bacon Breakfast Burrito and it was a great size for a burrito. Evenly portion with the egg, cheese, potato and bacon. The main reason why I can't give this place five stars is because the lack of flavor or seasoning. It was tasteless. I thought the salsa would help with the flavor, but even the salsa was on the bland side. I had really high hopes for this Mexican Shop, but maybe it was just this day for the lack of flavor. Other than that, the service was excellent. They had a long time of cars so I would assume the other items on the menu must be tasty. We ordered through the drive through so we didn't go inside to check it out, but we did like the double menus outside. One to look over what you want to get and the other to order at.

Here's a polished version you could send as a review or message to the shop:…read more My dad is obsessed with your fish and chips -- tender, crispy, and always freshly made! We've really enjoyed coming in, especially on weekends with the family. The only reason he says he won't come back is because there's no malt vinegar available. He mentioned that most fish and chip shops usually offer it, and for him it's part of the full experience. I even offered to bring our own, but he's still pretty set on it. Just wanted to pass along the suggestion because we genuinely love the food and would love to keep bringing the whole family in. Hopefully malt vinegar is something the shop might consider adding!

Have had perfectly wrapped protein style burgers, other times it's a few small pieces of lettuce on top and bottom. Same with whole grilled onions. Either perfectly cooked/sweet (like a real "grilled" onion), or hardly grilled, borderline raw. The employees always say if your order isn't great to go back in, but if you can go back and they'll fix it, but once you've been in the drive thru lane forever- silly to go get off the car and go inside. Nice to sit at their patio when it's a warm night. Employees are all nice and attentive.

She either cooks or I cook and bring him delicious, nutritious, and creative meals to help him feel satisfied and happy with great-tasting along with healthy meals that he needs to heal during the recovery process. I was originally going to head to In and Out Burgers in Santee, but after driving there I quickly changed my mind. The drive through was so long, it made me reconsider. I decided to tryAnny's Fine Burgers. I ordered a regular burger with lettuce and tomato plus onion the way my Dad likes, oh and pickles too. I decided to get one also prepared the same way. I normally do not eat red meat because I am a chicken, shrimp, and fish lover but on occasion I will make an exception if a restaurant knows how to make good burgers. I ordered for both of us, but I had to quickly eat mine so I could write this review and satisfy my raging appetite . The girl behind the counter was so friendly and helpful. She brought me a plate and my bag of food. I opened the wrapper and my eyes were in awe because this bigger was large in size and looked fresh. I bit down thinking there was no way I could eat it all. But, I did! I devoured it in five minutes! It was fresh, delicious, and juicy! They seasoned it to perfection . So glad they do not overly salt their burgers. I also ordered a homemade lemonade and a side of fries for my Dad to enjoy. I better go now as I need to deliver this deliciousness to my Dad! Oh I almost forgot, they keep the place so clean and I love the music in the background . Drake was playing! This is on my favorite burger list!

Today I found myself in Santee running an errand and stumbled across El rancho cantina and grill. Since I was hungry I figured I would give it a shot and while am I glad I did! I ordered the chicken mole with flour tortillas and it was the best mole I've ever tried. And I've tried a lot! I'm still thinking about it and I literally licked the plate clean, if you don't believe me see the pictures! I don't make it to East county very often but I'm already thinking about making the trip back for more food, I was planning to order the chicken chimichanga but decided to go with the mole instead and wow!

Plenty of seating, great for parties, nice outdoor seating and okay parking lot with parking on the street options. Food is pretty decent as I tried the Chachi Burrito. I wish they offered bigger sized bowls for the salsa as the server would make multiple trips to replace them, which brings me to the service. Service was very slow and had to ask multiple times for salsa and chip replacements. I had to ask several times for water refill and Jamaica drink took over 15 minutes to get. Food was nearly done and finally brought it out to the table. My only complaints other than that the food is great. Chicken Mole had some nice spice to it and tasted delicious.
