California Mexican Food

This would be three stars but given the bold claim that it's "California Mexican Food" and I am a bona fide born & bred Los Angelino you'd best be delivering the goods to call yourself that. Sadly, they do not.I tried a Carne Asada burrito, some cheese enchiladas, and a beef taco, and all three of them were very underwhelming in flavors in the manner than only the PNW can truly accomplish. In some ways eating food from here was sentimental given that the availability of higher quality Mexican American eats (Tacos Chukis, D' La Santa, Jackolope... just to name a few) has been improving dramatically in the last ten years in Seattle -this definitely was a throwback to bland disasters I tried when I first moved up in the late 2000s. If you have to choose between this and Taco Time then sure. But personally I think I'd even drive a block or two down the road to Taco Bell instead of eat here. YEAH I SAID IT!

I will forever be a patron of this drive thru! I usually grab a bacon, egg, potato & cheese burrito but I've had the carne asada fries, nachos, and a taco salad with beef. I always grab a jamaica. It's not super quick but it's always worth the wait and is more cost effective than traditional fast foods. I haven't been inside just through the drive thru but it always looks clean & someone is always cleaning areas from when I peak in. I didn't care for the beef 100% in the taco salad but it did the job with the piled on veggies. That's one thing that I enjoy is they will pack you down with the food you order.

Food to go....stopped in for our Mexican American food fix. ordered the usual...5 tacquitos, California carne asada burrito, and a side of chile rellenos with flour tortillas. However, when I arrived home....discovered they didn't include the tortillas...so disappointed, especially since I don't live close by'. Urghhhh

Being a California native and a lover of breakfast burritos, I have to say that this place nailed the Chorizo breakfast burrito (double whammy that it comes with beans already- most places here make you add it and charge you for it). Their salsa bar reminds me of those CA taco stands where you can help yourself to any available. Loved a few of them, but definitely loved the avocado verde salsa. The vibe was like any other taco shop with lots of seating. We were there late at night so a few unhoused people were there, but they didn't bother anyone. The staff was fine while taking my order and they were quick. My husband got the California burrito and I don't think he was as fond of it, solely because it comes with avocado sauce and not guacamole. I'd definitely go back again for a breakfast burrito but also they are open 24 hours!!!

I still love their location, you can read my previous review about it but I have to drop my score because they keep doing this annoying thing at the drive thru window.Why are you giving me a clipboard to sign in the drive thru window?All I see is a last ditch attempt to shove that tip line in my face one last time in hopes that I would give extra money. PLEASE I don't want to touch this clipboard and pen that everyone has been using, I know you're not wiping it down. Beyond that, I just want the ease of handing you my credit card and getting it back just like every other fast food drive thru. I would rather have you raise your prices by a few dollars than attempt to get tip from me for going through the drive thru. At that point I would probably not come as often either though because one of the reasons I come here so often is because the prices are unbeatable, but I'd rather come occasionally than leave every time knowing the restaurant desperately wanted another few bucks from me.There was one time when I ordered through the drive thru and no one handed me a clipboard and I thought, FINALLY they fixed whatever process was broken, but it started again and it's been several months now, this has to be intentional.

I like that they are open 24 hours a day, have yummy flan, and options for vegetarians and vegans. I work graveyard shift and I'm also usually awake at night on my days off, as well. There's not much open at night, so I would say that's the biggest thing they've got going for them! With that said, I'm only giving 3 stars because this place is really not very good. At first I thought it was decent enough, but I've been increasingly disappointed with each order. The vegetarian burrito is huge but nothing that special. The vegan burrito is slightly more money because it's supposed to come with guacamole. When I ordered the vegan burrito it had only 3 ingredients!! (Beans, rice, lettuce. NO guacamole OR salsa.) I don't know if that is normal, but I'm not feeling like I want to chance it again. It was so dry and bland I could only eat half of it. Basically, the only reason I would be back is if it's the middle of the night and I have no other food options. Or possibly just to get my flan fix.

If you want a MESSED UP order, GO HERE! EVERY TIME we've gone here the order was incorrect! Sorry but last time we go here.

Very similar to Me. G's, my favorite place to eat in Yuma, AZ. Lots of food for the price, but most importantly, YUMMMMMMMM!!!! The loaded taquitos and chile rellenos are excellent and OMG the shrimp platter is hella delicious! If you're a person who loves Arizona and California Mexican style cooking and you miss it or even if you're sick of this PNW weather and want the sunshine-y flavors of the Southwest, EAT AT CALIFORNIA MEXICAN FOOD!

Overall I'd say my experience is a 3-3.5/5. I ordered and only went in the drive thru. I ordered the pictured three items and it's a lot of food for $20. That's a plus. These soft tacos are loaded and have a lot of meat, including the shrimp.Burrito: carne asada burrito was ok the main issue I had is the carne asada was very dry and didn't seem to have much stand alone flavor. I really liked the way the tortilla and burrito was grilled though. It was fairly good in size and portion as well. 2.5/5Shrimp taco: flavorful rice and lots of shrimp and it's huge for the price. The shrimp is a little dry but has good flavor. I think this is a strong item to get for a fast casual sort of shrimp taco. Cheese is melted well. Tortillas have a nice cook/char as well. 3.8/5Adobada: lots of meat, fresh guacamole. Meat again is a little dry. Flavor is just ok. Give it a 3/5Sauces: tried all three of the sauces they offer. Habanero sauce is flavorful but super spicy obviously. I enjoyed it as a secondary sauce. Add a drop or so every other bite with the green and red sauce. If you like heat, get the habanero!Overall it's a mid/slightly above mid food for price and amount. Service was good.

This place was pretty good when it first opened. Their breakfast burritos were very good and inexpensive. We always got drive through which took a lot of time, but it was worth it. Since then, the food quality has declined and my last chicken burrito had gristle - never a good thing. We won't be back. There are just too many other places to go that are quicker and less expensive.
