We love to camp at Dixon Lake and mountain bike at Daley Ranch However, we have been driving into San Marcos for Mexican food, big mistake. We have driven by That Mexican Place at least 20 times, never again. The shredded beef taco and chile relleno burrito were both amazing. Probably gonna have to go back again tomorrow because I can't wait for our next trip. Not a ton of tables, but we were able to grab one. No problem in the service was friendly and quick.
Carne asada fries, loaded and always hits the spot! Fast service. The sauces are delicious- perfectly compliment the fries, with some kick too!
Some of the best Mexican food I've eaten in Escondido. The restaurant is so cute on the inside and the service is spot on!! Ordered, sat down, and was eating within 10 minutes. Love this place. Always a happy customer.
Good food Good service I will be be back I had the Carne Asada burrito Yum yum yum
Stopped at that Mexican place for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. There's a small salsa bar to have with your meal. The surf and turf burrito was the size of my forearm and filled with carne and shrimp. The guacamole was on the smaller side but very good.
I have eaten in and taken out here before, but it's been a while so I had a refresher visit. Food: I had a grilled chicken taco and shrimp taco. They were both good and good size. $12 for both, I wish they had grilled fish. Food was not too salty, which was a plus for me. Tasted fresh. There were different kinds of salsas and sauces available to flavor the food the way you want. Chips and red salsa if you eat in. The wait for the food was reasonable. Ambiance: Super clean everywhere!! The dining room was good size, well-decorated and welcoming with real flowers on each table! The dining room was a bit dark and "cavy", but the bright decor was bringing it up. The tables were separate enough. A large screen TV was silently playing sports. I could feel the pride of ownership in how they kept this place clean. They use real utensils and plates for eating in. No plastic forks and plates here. It definitely made me feel that this place was more than a takeout joint. Service: The young lady at the counter was nice and friendly. A couple of ladies came around in the dining room, and asked if everything was fine. Very nice touch! This is like a real restaurant for a takeout price! This is a great neighborhood place. I'll be back for sure!
Stayed overnight at Harrah's in Funner, CA and was heading home. On our way home we wanted some authentic Mexican food and decided to try "That Mexican Place" and we were not disappointed. Upon walking into the store, we could smell how fresh it was and the food was just as delicious as it smelled. We ordered the: -Sausage, Egg and Cheese breakfast burrito ($8.65) - really good! Lots of cheese, sausage and egg in good proportions. -Carnitas Burrito ($10.75) - wish there'd been some beans or rice in it, it was literally a ton of carnitas with pico and guac but nevertheless, it tasted delicious! -Two Chicken Enchiladas ($12.45) - not bad, chicken was a little dry but the beans and rice sides were great. Had a family-owned feel with friendly vibes. Will be back if I ever return to Harrah's!
