“ Best cocktail ever!!!! All employees nicest ppl. Zeni the best customer service cashier and server in the county. ”
“ One of the best quick-serve Mexican restaurants in town. Excellent Adobada and Carnitas tacos that are very flavorful and lean with crispy bits and served with a pile of sliced radishes. They have one of the very few salsa bars in town with a range of five red and green salsas, from mild to very hot. The veggies include nicely pickled carrots, chile peppers, jalapenos, and red onions along with sliced cucumbers and plenty of limes. The chips are not only free which is a rarity, but they're freshly made, hot, and very tasty. I can't think of a better lunch, especially for 6.30! But they don't appear to have beer or wine. ”
“ My partner and I came in here randomly and really enjoyed the food! The business is family owned, and they were so nice. The food and horchatas were delicious, and they had plenty of seating inside. We will be back! ”
“ The first thing I noticed when I came inside was how clean and beautiful the place was. The young man behind the counter was so polite and professional; he was awesome. There was only one woman in the kitchen making food and she made our 2 California burritos SO fast! We also bought 2 medium horchatas and we loved everything! It all tasted so delicious. I highly recommend this place! They have plenty of comfortable seating inside to eat here, or you can get it to go. We will definitely be back! ”
“ We recently had a fantastic dining experience at Los Armando's in Escondido. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were incredibly generous. I ordered the steak quesadillas, which were loaded with flavorful carne asada. The serving size was so large that I couldn't finish it all! My wife had the steak fajitas, which were beautifully presented and equally tasty. If you're looking for a satisfying and authentic Mexican meal, I highly recommend giving Los Armando's a try. ”
“ Today was the Grand Opening and the food was delicious! I tried the surf and turf fries and I also got an Adobada taco. I get my stuff no sauces or Pico so my pics I'm sure don't do the place justice. Very yummy. ”
“ I don't know why more people talk about this place. Best burritos, fresh and delicious food and great service 10/10. Get the steak breakfast burrito. Thank me later ”
