Hermanos Taco Shop — Restaurant in Chula Vista

Anytime I travel and return to Southern California I'm seized by the desire to go to every random taco shop I can find, convinced that greatness and a lunch under 20 dollars can be found literally anywhere in socal. This week I found myself driving to the Otay Mesa Detention facility to visit clients and checked Google maps for a Chula Vista taco shops, and picked Hermano's bc it had a 4.5, which, in my mind is the cut off for any well reviewed (100 plus) casual restaurant. 4.2, 4.3 is the average score, 4.4 is close, and it is rare to see anyplace with over 100 reviews clock a 4.6 or above. I think that's because for many people on Google Maps, four stars is their normal rating, the default.

This was a Tijuana style burrito i.e. the filling you get in a tj style taco (meat plus a guadamole/salsa Fresca mixture), placed into a burrito. That means no beans, certainly no rice. Here, the meat was outstanding, Carne asada and you could tell bc the asada burrito cost four dollars more than pork or chicken. The guac/Fresca mix was the normal stuff you get all over San Diego, but there was lots of it. Needless to say, I scarfed it down. Pretty rare that I'm the mood for a mid day Carne asada burrito, but Hermano's...

I love mexican food, and I have tried many different places. This place specifically is my favorite by a lot. They have the best price, best food quality, and best service. I have had hundreds of california burritos from here and I've gotten maybe 2 or 3 pieces of fat/cartilage out of all those burritos. It's the only place you can get a burrito and a quesadilla for about $10, and that's a cali burrito with meat, fries, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and pico de gallo. Everyone i show this place loves it as much as I do, and my family always goes here when we want mexican food because they almost never make a mistake.

Green sauce in my opinion is the best ever. And the workers are so nice and efficient.

I will continue to show this place to everyone I meet because it is hands down the best mexican food place I've...

Hola! My faithful google guide followers!

Oh! This is a treat! Very quaint, comfortable, and affordable. The food is delicious they don’t overdress the refried beans for those of you on a budget to been in cheese burrito is exceptional! The true test my friends? Is in the carne Asada. I’ve had it twice and the form of a burrito and a torta. Muy Bueno, Mucho gusto! I believe perhaps a slight upgrade in the quality of beef used, and I would make up an excuse to go here three times a week. But that’s not to say it wasn’t delicious. As a French trained Chef, hailing from Le Cordon Bleu, I looked for more than just taste I look for the bite, the chew, and the finish. That said, it was very good. Very good indeed. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The restaurant is always clean....
