This place feels so familiar yet so far away. I once had her by my side, but now have wandered astray. My sweet Koti can fill me up and knock me down all in one elegant gesture. Like Fred savage used to do to all of us young, hip, savvy boys and girls back in the early 90's. Man i long for those days...

1st time here & we loved it! Carne asada chip (no nacho cheese), carne asada quesadilla, bean burrito & 5 roll tacos with (American) guacamole! So good! I loved the red salsa, she loved the green - neither are too spicy (red is mild) but full of flavor!

This is my daughter's favorite place. She is obsessed with it. They know her order and her name. They are the nicest people. Her favorite is the Bean & Cheese with French fries inside. It's actually really good.

I have long been coming here for years . . . once last year, once the year before and once the year before that, etc. They have my all-time favorite Pollo Asado burrito. It is a fajita-styled burrito and is excellent and rather large. They also have great carrots and salsas too. That's just about all I ever get. Maybe a quesadilla too. Super friendly staff and speedy too. Stop by here "too" . Dicks

Love the sopes deal! Always a good place to go when you want to eat like home. Must try for anyone visiting or any local looking for a new spot to eat. They always have my business!

I ordered a breakfast burrito this morning and it was indeed a 3 pound burrito. I scooped some sauces from your sauce trolly and by golly the green sauce burned my lips and face to a frenzy. I saw Jesus and mexican Mary selling sombrero's, I heard laughter from a siracha Chile in a tuxedo, overall great visit! Thanks De Cobija! ...

Been in So Cal all my life. I love Mexican food. I love Mexican inspired cuisine. And I love "dive" mex. Dive Mexican food might have a bad connotation, but let me be clear. This is simply the type of Mexican food cooked by Mexican chefs, generally in a tiny kitchen, and usually in a small space. This place has a decor of all yellow walls. It plays music you'd hear if you were in Mexico. It's in a strip mall area. There is nothing fancy about it. So if you need fancy, you probably shouldn't come. The food is where they shine. Their burritos are enormous and amazing. The carnitas are the best I've had (crispy, flavor, amazing). Their tameles are solid. Big Tacos are big and tasty. Pretty much, pick a meat, and it can go in a taco or burrito (including lengua if you dig that). They have both the (imo cruddy) style of guacamole with sour cream in it and mexican guacamole (so ask for that if you want the good stuff). The price is great. You're getting big burritos for 5. We're talking about something you can cut in half and have leftovers the next day (especially the California Burrito). Drink refills do cost, so get the large. If you're willing to try something out that usually you might not consider, try this place out.
