    Small spot with big flavors! I got the steak breakfast burrito from the urging of my coworker and man was it a good choice! The size was good and the textures added to the experience (potato's were crispy and crunchy).

    I will be going back!

    Loooove this place!!
    This little hole in the wall packs a punch with flavour and price! Try them, you won't be disappointed!
    Steak Quesadilla... The BOMB!!
    Great value, best Mexican food I've had so far.
    Great service too!
    Been coming here a few months now, and the guys behind the counter know what we order, and go right ahead and order it as soon as they see us.

    ... Every Saturday morning, I pass by here at ~8 am.  The line literally is almost onto Carson St. ... so today's the day... I had to stop to see what all the hype is about.  #BreakfastBurritos!!!  Bomb!  I read some reviews on Yelp and everyone is talking about them!  I had the "Mix" burrito which was a little bit of everything.  Nice added touch to put in a dollop of their refried beans, which are bursting with flavor!!  The burrito is just the right size, too, and less than $5.

    This place needs to respect customers not just because their not Latino or Mexican.
    I was trying to make an order DON PUTO behind the counter tells me to wait I did not say a word did not say a thing just waiting 5-10 minutes passed by another customer Latino  approaches the window and DON PUTO immediately asks him for his order just right in front of me. I was so disgusted I just left I will not pay good money for arrogant disrespectful people maybe that's why he will be in a taco stand for the rest of his life enjoy your days their DON PUTO...

    Don Ruben's really hit the spot for this tired girl coming off of a night shift. How can I resist a breakfast burrito that is sooo good and under $5? Bring your ca$h - they'll accept card but it comes with a surcharge.

    It's a tiny hut of a storefront, standing room and take-out only. There is a parking lot next door so you don't have to scrounge for street parking.

    = F O O D =
    + GIGANTE BURRITO ($3 and some change): Filled with beans, potatoes, salsa, rice, eggs, bacon, and cheese. There's no doubt a disproportionate amount of rice in here, but it is heavy and comforting, like a blanket. Did I mention it was $3? You can't get a burrito that is this large and tasty for $3 at Del Taco!

    = S E R V I C E =
    Probably would be better if you can converse in Spanish! It also took quite a while for my burrito to come out. Well worth the wait, still.

    I will be sure to test out more of their yummy burritos in the future.
