Juan Bertos Mexican Food

I have been going to this place for 20 years. It has good food. It is not the best Mexican food but it does have the old school salsa that I love. Their red salsa is what all the taco shops had when I was a kid. This part of the allure of the place for me anyway. They do a decent job with their food as well. It has the best Mexican food in the Miramar/​Mira Mesa area.

If I gave Juan Bertos any less than five stars — Jason would disown me. He’s been having a love affair with their carne asada burritos for twenty years. And anytime we’re in town to visit family, we have to make a stop and this little hole in the wall mexican restaurant. According to Jas, nothing in this place has changed in twenty years except for the prices, which is to be expected. We always order burritos and they are always delicious. Yesterday, we ordered carne asada burritos with guacamole around 10 AM and we didn’t need to eat again until we made it to Reno, 7 hours laters. I know some have complained about the prices, but if you’re getting two meals out of a burrito, then it’s a good deal! They have a small seating area around the corner from the counter and you can order canned sodas with your meal too. Juan Bertos — it’s safe to say we will be back on our next trip to SD.

I was stationed at NAS Miramar from 93 – 96 and this place had the best carne asada burritos in the world. Especially after drinking. I revisited 10 years later and they were still amazing. Another 10 years go by to present day and they’re still friggin delicious. Going there now for another trip down memory lane.
And for those crying about the prices get over it. The burritos were $ 2.50 in the 90s. Very appropriate prices for today. NOM NOM NOM.

As of I have said before, I only come here for Mexican food emergencies. I REALLY hate paying their prices, but when you’re in need, they are better than most.

I got a breakfast burrito there while my car was being fixed about a block away. The burrito tasted good but I got sick later that day and spent the afternoon on the toilet. There is a chance that it was not the burrito but I would not eat there again.
