El Taco Caliente - Escondido

I've only been here once, and I had the chile relleno burrito, but I thought it was tasty for what it was. The place seemed clean, even a bit sterile for your average taco shop. Overall I was happy with what I got, but I'm not a regular...

This cozy little spot is a hidden gem! As a first-time customer, I can confidently say I’ll return. My friend and I ordered California burritos, and I chose the pollo asada—it was an excellent choice! The salsa paired perfectly with the burrito as well. Plus, it was easy on the wallet; we got two California burritos for around $12. Thank you, Taco Caliente!

I used to visit this place some time ago and often left feeling disappointed. However, I was pleased to discover that there appear to be different owners since my last visit, and everything has significantly improved. The food was delicious and prepared quickly.

Since the ownership changed, the food is outstanding, and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend the buche tacos; they are delicious!

Tacos are affordable and good! Salsa is good and spicey
