Reviews
"I paid 70 dollers for 2 Micheladas and 2 breakfast entrees.....I paid 3 dollers for this small sauce cup of beans. El boracho burrito was good small portion. My girlfriend got the "chilla killas" which makes it sound like the dopest chilaquiles ever. I've seen chilaquiles look like a boquett of flowers. This dish looked like soggy tortilla chips."
"Some really good Mexican. Will stop here again when I'm in San Diego."
"We had the Divorciados with eggs and Logan with Carnitas. Also we had a Michelada with candy! We love the Chilaquiles here, efficient, friendly service ."
"This place was awesome. Tacos were unreal. Great outdoor patio in the back. Love the old style feel upfront. Que bueno"
"Stopped in here for a late breakfast on the way home from the airport. Everybody was very friendly and the food was great. I got a small Menudo and it was delicious. Family got some burritos and they love them. You get one free refill on the aqua Fresca, not something I usually see."
