    Absolutely incredible restaurant with even more wonderful owners. The man behind the restaurant is Isidro. He began at the bottom of the restaurant food chain and worked his way up to where he is now. His son works alongside him in the kitchen whipping up a mean Super Burrito as big as a house with flavors I’ve never experienced before. The chicken nachos and tacos are pulled meat and taste magnificent. Isidro also smokes his own bacon and puts a dash of love into his food. He told me he’s never afraid to try something new. :) Amazing breakfast burrito as well. If you are visiting the area just look for the giant ROOSTER. :)

    It's a family operated taco shop where the father cooks, the wife serves and the son does everything else. Everything is made from scratch. I asked the owner/chef why the cheese is not as salty as most cheese served in Mexican restaurants. He says he uses jack cheese instead of Mexican Cotija. The restaurant is built from an old Taco Bell unit. The owner of the property has neglected the parking lot and something could be done to clean up the general appearance of the property. This is not the fault of the restaurant operators. They are not flexible at all in their food presentation. Don't ask for anything offered in the burrito to be placed on the side. Don't expect the pricing to match the menu board and don't be surprised if they limit the salsa. Pinching pennies is not always good business.

    California burrito was filled with beans and rice and only sprinkles of meat. Was just expecting fries, meat and pico. Also got carne asada fries and it came in one big block from the cheese they used. Nothing had flavor . Saving grace was their salsa which was pretty good. Will not come back.

    The lady at the register who took my order would not allow me to have a glass of water . I ordered a meal for dine in. The lady was completely rude and couldn't even give me a cup of water out of curiosity. In fact she wanted to charge me for a glass of water and said " we don't give free water here " I walked out and cancelled my order. Horrible experience for my First time ever coming here for a meal in marina ca . They don't even deserve a star !

    I am shocked that anyone would eat at this restaurant. The sheer and blatant rudeness from the female owner is disgusting. The food is well below being edible and it’s just gross. I gave this restaurant a try and definitely won’t be returning again. Seeing so many other reviews mentioning this woman shows me that she has a problem. I don’t know how they manage to remain open for business because I didn’t see any other customers besides myself. Huge parking lot that was completely empty because of the lack of customers.

    I came here on lunch with my son, knowing that it might be a little while wait. We started out in the drive through but the line was really long so I decided to go in. There was one person working front counter and drove thru. I ordered 4 tacos. 25 minutes later and after someone came in after and got his order I politely said "I'm sorry I have to go back to work." This Apparently was the wrong thing to say, because she got an attitude. Telling me that I'm going to have to wait anywhere to get my food as though I don't know that as a grown woman. The Fact is a customer very politely told you they had to go, after that you don't need to say anything else. Then she didn't even have the right ticket for me, which would explain why I never received my food. My issue is not that they were busy, my issue is not that I never got my tooth. My issue is in the level of service I received after I told her that I had to leave. I Understand people getting frustrated. I would have never written a review if I had Just gotten my money back

    So glad I stopped in. Server recommended the California burrito. Beans, rice, sour cream, guac, choice of beef, chicken or pork. Got beef. Served with two great salsas. Real salsas that someone put some care into. Beef was nice and crisped. Loved it. Definitely going back tomorrow to try something else.

    Small portions. Bland food. High prices. I come here when chevos is packed if im desparate enough. Im honestly surpised they are still open. There are plenty of better options out there like Michaels, Laz Cazuelas, or Papa Chevos.

    It’s crazy how there’s so many reviews about the same lady being blatantly rude and unprofessional. Come to find out she’s the owners wife, so makes sense why she is entitled to act this way. Her name is Leticia. My second time coming, ordered very clearly and she gaslit us both times because SHE got our order wrong after we confirmed at the drive thru speaker with her and she follows with snarky comments “this is why I repeated your order”. She made this comment to my dad who was nothing but friendly today. Her behavior is disgusting. Our family gave her family business $140 on a single occasion and she treats paying customers like this.

    Heard they had the BEST breakfast burrito in town so on my way to fish in Marina I stopped at 730am. I ordered the combination breakfast burrito it came with green or red salsa I had the green. Drive thru was nice didn't have to get out of my jeep and I was greeted with an amazing Buenos Dias! Didn't get the name of the youngster working he was great, good service. The burrito was very good. I will definitely stop here again.

    The food is awesome.... I used to frequent this place 2-3times a week. Recently, I made the mistake of asking for extra salsa 😔. I was even willing to pay, just wasn't given the opportunity! It kind of baffles me that all my money spent there , all my small business support means nothing!

  • 5/5 Gia M. 10 months ago on Google
    The lady is always nice to me & my kids. I think she can’t hear through the drive through window is all. The food is so good too 💗 I think maybe they should re locate because marina has 3 drive thru taquerias on the same street I bet if they relocate to seaside/Salinas buisness would thrive! 💗💗

    This will always be my favorite breakfast burrito stop 😋 Their sausage breakfast burrito is the best! So filling for a college student and affordable. Don't forget the homemade salsa! Mr. and Mrs. Isidro are always nice and welcoming to everyone.

    We stopped at isidro’s Today on our way back to LA, I gotta say the michelada was Really Good 👍🏼 Only bad thing a lot ice 🧊 , I order 2 “ chile verde “ tacos thinking i was getting some “ pork in salsa verde tacos” 😂 i was wrong, but all good, im not a fan of “ Mexican-American” style Tacos so they were decent, - Al Pastor Burrito Pretty good 👍🏼 - and the big surprise was the “ shrimp tostada” Expecting a regular cold style tostada we got something better a fajita shrimp tostada with bell peppers 🫑 👋🏻🙌🏼 that’s a must 🤌🏼
