Taqueria Pepitos - Santee

I wanted to try a new place for Mexican food and I wish I did not go here. I ordered a shrimp burrito and when I picked it up, it was instantly dripping and falling apart. I took a bite and the shrimp was raw! There was barely any rice and no flavor. It was more of a soup than a burrito. The fact that it was $13 is insane when other local places are cheaper, cooked, delicious and the burrito doesn't fall apart. I ended up tossing everything away. I would not go back or recommend this place.

HORRRIBLE!!! PLACE HAS GONE WAYYY DOWN HILL SINCE NEW OWNERSHIP TOOK OVER! MY LAST FEW VISITS WERE NOT GOOD! CALIFORNIA BURRITO TERRIBLE HATD THE NEXT DAY, NO SPUR CREAM TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE TERRIBLE FOOD THEY SERVE! NOT WORTH IT! WASTED TOO MUCH HERE! BUYER BEWARE!

Absolutely AMAZING! We had a nice variety of tacos (Adobado, Birria, and Carne Asada) all were suuuper flavorful juicy with very fresh toppings. Even the Horchata was creamy, with great notes of Cinnamon and Vanilla. Staff were fast, friendly and patient with our choosing. All around suggest and will be back.

The rice in my burrito was completely inedible, it was hard and appeared small like it wasn't throughly cooked or dried out and made the day prior. Consome for the Birria tacos was very bland and just looked and tasted like canned beef broth with cilantro and onions added it to it. The plain old carne asada burrito was ok, but there was some bits of chewy carne asada in there. Lastly the prices listed on the menu compared to what I was charged were off by about $2 per item.

One of a kind salsa is unique and delicious. Very good food. You should try it. Also the decore is original. I haven't seen any decorations like this in the other shops, they all copy the one spot down to the art work. THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC.
