  Good food. Probably the best in Santee. Not my go to because it's a bit further for me to go to but if I have the time and order ahead all worth it

  I have been coming to this taco shop since I was in High School. Now I am in my late 30's. I don't live in Santee anymore but when I am there I try to sneak in a burrito. Today was one of those days. I got my standard Cali Burrito, add Mex Guac, and extra Pico. Which they charged me .90 for extra Pico, seriously? Although I was super happy to see the burritos are still massive, I was not overly impressed. First, where is the beef?Literally...where is it? I got the tiniest amount of carne asada, and what was in there was so bland!  Where is the flavor?! Also, I added guac, and paid for it and I had to squint to find it! Like I would be surprised if there was more than a tablespoon in the entire burrito! Finally, the fries although cooked nice and crispy tasted like they were cooked in old oil! Yuck!
  
  And maybe the most disappointing part of all is their sauce was just gross! It just tasted off! That used to be my original driving force of this taco shop! I used to feel like I could drink their red sauce by the gallon, not anymore!
  
  Overall I am really sad to see that my gold standard taco shop has failed me! You can totally tell they are cutting corners. With so many amazing options in the area and in SD in general I won't be coming back.
  
  It is really sad to see that this spot has gone so far downhill.

  The food is great and I am a frequent customer but won't be coming back. The lady at the front normally has a bad attitude but I don't pay attention to it. I come every Saturday To order for pick up when I get really close to work as my job is right across the street.
  
  I googled the location and ordered for pick up and when i got there the lady explained to me I called the wrong location. I said ok well can I please order a burrito because I'm late for work and don't have time to drive up there and she said no.
  
  She explained she can't take my order because I already ordered it at the second location and was so rude. I explained I didn't have time and would like to order and will make sure I call the right place next time now that I know they have two locations.
  
  I have never experienced such rude customer service I feel like there should be at least be a system in place confirming which location customers are calling as it was a very frustrating experience.
  
  They have two locations same name on the same street so I think it's important to confirm location when ordering take out or at least being kind and taking an order and explaining to the customer hey we have two locations now that you know please check before placing an order.

  My family will officially never come here again.
  
  1. They ALWAYS overcharge. It's been a laughing joke among our family but it's gotten so old. Every time we point it out, the person goes "oh sometimes our machine messes up". The other day, a girl walked in and ordered her burrito, and she even told the person it's normally like $3 cheaper and just left cuz it was too expensive. You'll get a different absurd price every time you go in.
  
  2. 8/10 times, not even exaggerating, they get your order wrong. Most times, I don't call or make a thing of it cuz it's not worth driving back. But a couple days ago, they gave me beef rolled tacos and not potato. When I called, she basically called me a liar and told me to bring it in before they'd replace them. After the 30 times I've let it slide, I finally call and that's why I get.
  
  We only ever come here when the other Estrada's by pathways is closed but NEVER again. They are beyond unethical and we will never support their business again.

  Just go to the one up the street. The service is better. Lady overcharges (I never get charged extra for beans any other time except when she is taking my order- I ask for no cheese fwiw), shes super stingy with sauce and she isnt the nicest person to interact with. I either go to the one up the street or go to cotijas. No point in coming to this spot.
