Mexico Express

I’m addicted to carne asada from growing up in San Diego and having taco shops around every corner. There, the carne asada is fairly consistent in style (though quality varies) and this Taqueria Mexico Express is similar (right color, seasoning, grilling and not too wet) and excellent quality. I have a hard time finding carne asada burritos that I like outside of San Diego so I was thrilled to find this place and I have been coming back ever since! I just have to tell them to hold the beans and then add guac and pico then they are perfect. (They also come with cheese so I leave that in too.) To me, beans, rice and lettuce are just fillers and have no place in a burrito.
I also like the large carne asada quesadilla though I have to tell them not to cut it up and I add guac and ask them to put it inside for me. The end result is a hefty, gooey, wonderful mess!

Affordable, and very tasty. I have a little Litmus test when it comes to ethnic food places: are there people of that nationality in the restaurant? If so, you’re off to a good start. At Mexico Express there were quite a few Latinos, so I felt pretty sure of the product.
Turns out, I was right. We had a lunch special, and my fajita bowl was very good. It had some sauce I’d never seen before, but tasted OK. The chicken flautas were also good, and you can’t beat complimentary chips and salsa (also a tell-​tale sign of a decent Mexi joint).
They have a drive thru, which is useful because the space is pretty small. There are not a lot of big tables, and any group over 4 would be hard pressed to fit. But if it’s just you and a friend, come on down.

It is small little café style restaurant. The food is very good and the service is good. I like the breakfast and the lunch is pretty inexpensive but very filling. It’s not much to look at but the food worth the stop.
