El Papas Fritas Taco Shop — Restaurant in San Diego

Carne Asada Burrito Review

Summary: "Can't go wrong" – A good-sized burrito at a standard San Diego price of $14.81. The tortilla is fresh and tender, and the meat is juicy and lite flavor. The taste is satisfying, though it could use a bit more flavor for those who aren't fans of hot sauce. The variety of hot sauces available is a great bonus. Hole in the wall with seating but would only take togo.

Time of Visit Visited at 8pm. The place was empty, no other customers around. There's no drive-through, but street parking is available right in front. Like other reviews, I saw only one guy in there busy cleaning and is the cook so he might not hear you coming.

Highlights: The meat is juicy, soft, and cut into small pieces, making it easy to eat. A lot of meat. Come with a tad amount of pico de gayo and guacamole 🥑. Self-serve station with a variety of creamy and regular hot sauces (green, orange, red), along with chips, a big sauce container, and radish condiments.

Suggestions: Add more flavor to the meat for those who prefer not to use the complimentary hot sauces. -some folks may want a bit more pico de gayo or guacomole -May need a customer bell to get the attention of the ...

The gentleman that helped me at the register was extremely rude. I ordered an order of rolled tacos with ONLY cheese and guac for my daughter. I get home and realized they put the works in there so I returned and told them what happened. Instead of remaking my order, he begins telling me that I didn’t say anything and that I was lying. To which I said I did because it’s all I ever order for my daughter and she hates sour cream so I definitely make sure I say it. He keeps insisting that I did not say it over and over again. And I just tell him that it’s very unprofessional to be calling people a liar and that if he didn’t hear me then that’s ok but that he can stop calling me a liar. After being so rude I didn’t even want him to remake my order because who knows if he would do something to my food. So I just got my money back. Which by the way… $12 for rolled tacos?! I went to a different taco shop where I paid half that price and were way better. I will not come back there again purely because of this...

A fly was in my food… food has always been great, cannot complain at all I would give 5 stars if it wasn’t for the fact there was a fly in my food. It’s hot so it’s understandable there to be so many flys in the restaurant but I got a take out order so I know the fly was in there as my food was being prepared as opposed to it flying in afterwards. The fly looked like it was mixed in with the melted cheese so perhaps it flew in and landed on bare fries then was accidentally covered with cheese and baked into the mix. Even after seeing this fly I kept eating because it was so good. I just want to see something done about the fly’s in the kitchen. Also there was a dog in the kitchen so idk...
