Armando's Mexican Food

Been coming here for years. Always getting a burrito, it’s really good and sometimes okay. I guess depends on who’s in the kitchen. Still recommend tho. Location is kinda sketchy, a lot of homeless loitering outside but I still come here tho.

Heard about this place on TikTok but I live in North County. Finally I was around the area and I was able to get here. Also this place is 24 hours which is great. There were some people there who it looked like came from partying, probably TJ. Anyways I got a Carne Asada Quesadilla for parents and I got Carne Asada Fries. The Carne Asada Fries were one of the heaviest I've ordered compared to other Mexican spots. As for the taste, it was really good. Nice mix of the guacamole and Cotija cheese. No complaints and great food!

This little hole in the wall had one of the best burritos and steak fries I have ever had. I've tried a ton of Mexican food prior to my visit to Armando's and I have to say that this was some of the most unique flavors for Mexican food. I'm definitely going back anytime I'm back in the area. Awesome food!!!

Armando’s is one of my favorite taco shops in the world. I’ve traveled all over, and I still come back here when I visit San Diego. I will feature this place in one of my future thriller novels. I grew up in this neighborhood, and the rolled tacos plus carne asada burritos are one of the best food deals around. The portions are huge and hearty. You could literally feed four people with this carne asada burrito and 12 rolled tacos. That’s one thing about the carne asada burritos in San Diego - lots of meat. The San Diego style of carne asada burrito is unmatched in my humble opinion. The rolled tacos are an absolute feast of finely grated cheese, guacamole, and crispy, crunchy tacos. Plus, Armando’s gives you all the salsa you could possibly want, in both green and red. The salsa comes in little cups, which is absolutely perfect for dipping your rolled tacos into. That’s a definite bonus. They are next to a busy 7/11 and trolley station, so parking is a bit of a challenge. But the people are in and out relatively quickly, so you can almost always find a space. One bummer is that they started charging a credit card fee for transactions. But at the price of California food, I can’t blame them. They were probably taking a quiet hit on fees. Most people pay cash here, and that’s always the best way to go.

CA burritos were amazing. Carne Asada was seasoned very well, still juicy and tender. Great fries to meat ratio. Fries weren't used as a filler to skimp out on the meat. Parking is very very limited in the lot. Was easy enough to find street parking on the side street near the trolly station.

Super California Burrito is very big, full of carne asada, fries, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Super tasty and the price was right. Rolled tacos were excellent and stuffed with meat. Red and green salsas were great. The cashier was very friendly and confirmed your order up front - I appreciate that. Great job. Highly recommend Armando's.

Wow! Due to the portions, we ended up sharing Armandos breakfast burrito (10 out of 10), one huge al pastor taco (one taco the size of 3-4 Street tacos - and also delish), and 3 rolled tacos with cheese and Guacamole...cooked nice and crunchy with lots if cheese and Guacamole! Side of beans to try and also tasty! Jamaica was perfect - not too sweet. We are definitely coming back to this gem! Soooo good! And their prices are fair for the portions received. They do charge 3.99% for charging- suggest bringing cash. And no public restrooms.
