I had not eaten since yesterday and I was hangry. I stumbled across Rolando’s, picked up a fish taco plate and was in heaven. Love the rice and beans too. Friendly service!

It's a hole-in-the-wall taco shop. With the best carne asada burrito in San Diego! The Angus Burrito. It's worth it.

I had the crunchy shredded beef tacos and they were fabulous. Juicy, well seasoned meat and tons of cheese/lettuce. They were huge. Should've ordered one! :)

The best Mexican food you can ask for. 12 for this monstrosity, so good! Delicious steak, so much toppings, generous amounts of guacamole, moderate amount of sour cream ‘not too much’, lots of cheese on top with a chip layer and fries on the bottom so they don’t get soggy. Worth every penny. Tip well here, the food is worth it. 5 tip at the minimum when I go here, the food is that good.

First time here today. I tried cabesa taco special. Too much water/liquid in the tacos. Should drain cabesa better. Corn tortilla gets soggy with too much liquid. Good thing I ate it there. I probably wouldn’t order again. I also tried carne asada burrito. Good size for the price a lot of meat. My fault for not clarifying what comes in the burrito. Should say carne asada all meat burrito. If I would have known I would have asked for rice and beans. I hate getting a burrito with only meat so boring. Should say on menu or inform customer. I did ask what comes inside the burrito, she said guacamole and pico de gallo. My fault for not paying attention and asking if it only comes with meat I wouldn’t order the burrito again. I would consider trying a bean and cheese burrito if I go again to see if I like it to see if I will give any other menu option a try. As for my first time getting food here spending about 25 I feel dissatisfied.

My go-to Mexican spot. Pics aren’t great bc I went to work on my food but it’s delicious. I’ve tried other places and it just doesn’t hit the way this place does. The BOH staff is so nice but the cashiers aren’t too friendly, which I don’t care since they’re usually professional and they get my order right.
