Hilberto's Mexican Food - Santee

By far the best California burrito in San Diego County!!! The staff is always friendly and the food is amazing! Definitely my favorite taco shop!

This is my go to spot for breakfast burritos in the morning out here in Santee. The red sauce is delicious, and they don't charge extra if you ask for more. They also have excellent chicken tacos. In my opinion, their sister location in Rancho San Diego has slightly better chicken tacos, but they say it's the same recipe. Added bonus, it's right next to a 7-11 so you can go inside order your food, swing into 7-11 for a Gatorade or whatever your beverage of choice is, by the time your done getting your drink, your food is ready. This is exactly why you see so many commercial work trucks and vans in the parking lot in the AM. Everyone knows this is the spot to get everything you need.

I was on my way home when I decided to stop by the restaurant. I felt so overwhelmed that I thought I might pass out. It was quite an experience!

I picked up a few breakfast burritos for a safety meeting to treat the crew, but unfortunately, my experience was a bit disappointing. I tried the carne asada breakfast burrito, and it fell short of expectations. The meat tasted as if it had been sitting in a container in the refrigerator for the past couple of days, lacking the freshness you would hope for in carne asada. Overall, I can only give it 2 stars for being poorly made.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and ordered the beef taco combo, which came with rice and beans. It was absolutely delicious! The green sauce was incredibly spicy but packed with flavor, and the red sauce was also very tasty. I highly recommend the beef taco combo!
