Was J R at Mac Taco a mag?
I like their food. Love their damn Quesos lol! Foods made typically fast. U can order it. Never had any issues here. It’s kind of hidden cause of the location an the shopping center lacks luster. But over all the foods always been good. Family is nice. Prices are decent too. View all feedback.

What Julián Yáñez dislikes about Mac Taco:
don't waste your time or your money. eating was disgusting. ordered a chalupa and a teller with asada, guacamole was watery and fake. I would rather go to taco bell on the street or not eat at all. View all feedback.

The only authentic California Burrito in the area. My only suggestion would be to wrap them in paper instead of foil.

I had a great experience when I visited this restaurant on a Tuesday by accident. It happened to be taco Tuesday, so I was able to get one taco for only $1.10. I must say, the Mexican women working there were beautiful, and the food was delicious too. The cashier was friendly, and they even offered student discounts. I especially enjoyed the pulled and cooked pork option, although I'm not sure of the specific name.

Wow, the staff was friendly. The chef put on a show, and the server knew the menu well and took my order perfectly. The food was excellent with fresh ingredients and all the right flavors. I ordered 2 super burritos and 9 tacos. Everything was top quality.
