El Cajon
Your neighborhood spot on Jamacha Road — where the food is always fresh, the welcome is always warm, and the Hot Cheetos Burrito is always worth the trip.
A Menu That Surprises You
You won't find the Hot Cheetos Burrito at just any taco spot — packed with crunch, spice, and cheesy goodness, it turns first-timers into regulars on the spot.
Your East County Cantina
Cold beer, wine, cocktails, and sports on TV — this is more than a taco spot. Settle in, catch a game, and let the laid-back cantina energy do the rest.
