    1 2 Taco Combo
    Candace R.

    This was a-ok. Stopped here for dinner after flying in to town and after learning the burritos didn't come as I wished (rice, beans, salsa, etc) I opted for the taco combo and a horchata. The service was great and we didn't wait too long for our food to come out. We also got a fresh batch of chips which were tasty. My plate was fine, most of the flavor came from the salsa they have available on the side. B enjoyed his burrito and we both liked the horchata. I'd probably try out other spots before returning but there was quite the dinner rush after we sat down so they're doing something right!

    Robertos is our go to Mexican food place in Encinitas! The service is great and the staff is so kind and quick. We love the burritos and rolled tacos with guacamole, but they also have great tacos and quesadillas. The ambiance is clean and friendly and the restaurant is beautifully painted and decorated.

    1/2 the size of continents across the street. $16?????? And now they want a 20% tip for to call my name? Go across the street.

    The expiration on the bottle

    Went to eat here and bought a bottled drink along with my food. Noticed it tasted bad so I checked the expiration date and it was VERY expired. When I told the cashier about it, he was rude and annoyed that I brought it to his attention. He didn't offer us a refund for selling us an expired soda, even though we had only taken a couple sips and it was basically full. He started talking bad about us to his coworker in Spanish making it seem like we are dramatic. Once he realized we understood spanish he looked embarrassed. Cashier doesn't understand that selling expired beverages is a health code violation and he was acting like its no big deal we had to insist on a refund of the drink. Be careful if you eat here because if they sell expired products in the front of the store, imagine what they've got behind closed doors.

    Chili relleno burrito! #makesmewander

    Just saying, Los Angeles does not have Mexican food like San Diego's. Whenever I come down I immediately look for any restaurant ending in "bertos" and they never disappoint! I found Roberto's while I was out shopping for a party and this was right on the main road of El Camino Real! Plenty of parking, line to order was just right, everything cooked fresh and I could quickly eat there. I ordered a Chili Relleno burrito and I couldn't help it, I ordered a crunchy shredded beef taco also. Way more food than I needed but totally worth it! The huge differences with what Roberto's does right is the Cotija cheese blended with yellow cheese the amazing tortillas made the right way and not hiding the flavors in too much sauce or filler. The flavors were distinct and fresh in the red salsa was a great addition to every bite. I will definitely be back! #makesmewander

    Chicken tacos are the best in town! Whatever sauces they cook chicken in is da bomb!! Chicken flavor is amazing. Taco shell is perfection.

The parking lot has plentiful parking but was completely full as I was leaving around 12pm. There were tons of order pick-up spots and 20-minute max parking spots that help with the flow. The restaurant was impeccably clean with a growing line of lunch-goers. The workers were very efficient and the line moved quickly. I also noticed the apparent owner/manager talking to regulars and greeting customers as they walked in, which I really liked to see! I was served my order to-go in less than 10 minutes and ended up unexpectedly using the other 10 minutes after taking my first bite--after that it was hard to stop. The burrito was the perfect size (not too large and not too small). My original breakfast burrito was wrapped in a fresh hand-made tortilla filled with fluffy eggs, the perfect amount of bacon, cheese, soft fresh potatoes, topped with the avocado salsa verde which went perfectly with everything. I even ended up sipping the salsa (it was that good) between bites of the burrito. I was also blown away by the clean and fully stocked salsa bar. So many options (including non-spicy ones for those with gastric limitations too!) and they even offered radishes, carrots, and pickled onions individually wrapped with care. Everything tasted fresh and home-made. After 7 years being away from San Diego, Los Tacos delivered exactly what I had been missing. This location really blew me away and I will definitely be back to see what else it has to offer.

Got to the restaurant and the hosts were too busy messing around to properly greet us. Once I got their attention I let them know we were there and they said they'd have us seated shortly. A LITERAL HOUR later we got a table. Seeing that it took so long to be sat (well past our expected duration) you'd think service would be fast! Nope. Our server didn't check in with us for over 10 minutes. Next (finally) came the chips. We put in our entire order as soon as we could (as it was now almost 1.5 hours past when we thought we would be eating). Drinks came in random shifts, waters were NOT refilled. Now, to be 100% honest, the food was GREAT! Fantastic quality, great selection, even our pickiest kid was happy with her meal. So I do give credit where credit is due. The food was fantastic. But the customer service was incredibly lacking. Visit at your own risk!

Having set my Apple Maps before reading the description of the restaurant, my wife and I set our course on the way back from the San Diego Zoo. I didn't want to get home too late and the parking situation for the better restaurants near the zoo didn't look promising so we decided to go further away from San Diego to find a place on the way home near the 5 freeway. Cancun may not look like much but the food is pretty freaking amazing. My surf and turf burrito filled with generous amounts of shrimp and carne asada was incredible. Adding sour cream and guacamole just put it on another level. No burritos like this near my home. My wife's shrimp plate was also a winner. Lots of shrimp. My wife's only gripe was not enough rice and beans. Even the side of corn tortillas was moist and tasty. I'm not sure if they make their own tortillas but it seemed like it. Even the french fries are incredible. Nice and crispy but not dry. I thought I'd still be hungry after just the burrito but I had no idea what a monster it is. Even after eating 3/4 of it, the remainder was still heavy. The older lady working the register is so sweet. A little hard to understand since she has a thick accent but very nice and helpful. The cook was cool too. Very happy when I stopped before leaving to tell them the food was "delicioso". Don't let the gas station scare you away. The food is jammin'!
