Rolando's Taco Shop — Restaurant in San Diego

Top notch local hole in the wall type restaurant. Out of all of San Diego, this is where I get my burrito fix; specifically with the surf & turf. Today I tried their Big Breakfast Burrito and although it was delicious it was too much meat for my liking. The roll tacos, flautas are yummy and so are the sides of orange Mexican rice and refried beans. They have tasty red and green salsa plus pickled carrots and jalapeños. They offer a variety of traditional stews, caldos, as well as tortas and other traditional Mexican dishes. We also tried the chilaquiles today and those were approved. Basically, everything we've ever tried here we have enjoyed. The taste and food quality is consistent. The staff is sincerely friendly and helpful. Been coming here for ages. And there's a Cafe Moto cross the street. Oh! And a local small bookstore too. Jeje hehe great...

The cashier lady was so rude and said if I wanted to switch I would have to pay an extra $2 dollars... hmm I was super confused and asked to talk to a manager so she said just for this one time she would switch it for another burrito. I get there and she and the cook argued with me saying it was a great seller and I was nuts. Wow all that to get authentic Mexican Food... no bueno so I argued back and they gave me a Surf and Turf Burrito. Wow now that was awesome! Not like that nasty chicken buritto: tortilla and huge chunks of dry chicke! That's not a burrito! That's a huge taco! No salt, salsa, veggies, or anything like that. BAD customer service GREAT surf n...
