Please support this great family owned deli run by 3 generations of women. I'm a meat eater, never eat veggies, but their veggie wraps and salads are so delicious I usually eat vegan there although their Mexican food is as good as any I've had on either side of the border. I eat a ton, even I get stuffed for $8 here, I can't even do that at Jack in the Box nowadays. BTW, try their mole (a traditional Mexican dish pronounced mo-lay), it's one of the best things that isn't on the menu

Sam’s Kitchen is home to some of the best San Diego Style burritos. It has both excellent breakfast burritos and California burritos (Carls-good add sour cream and pico de gallo). They have an excellent selection of sauces as well as homemade habanero and Carolina reaper hot sauces (for the brave). Hope to make this spot a regular on my lunch rotation.

Carls Good Burrito - fat burrito - good guac Chips - a little stale - has some lime - salsa isn't too spicy

★★★★☆ 4.0 Monica London · Feb 2026

Been here several times and I really love the food options, healthier but still so good, which is tough to find for breakfast and lunch between work meetings. The only thing I observed is that every time I come there isn't really anyone before me and it takes a while to get noticed and to get the food. This would make sense if there was anyone else besides me. The food and cost far outweighs this slight hiccup with service and speed.

Small family business worth supporting! Great family service, nice clean environment, absolutely fire food. Go-to are El Camino and La Bomba. Love that they make bowls and burritos both as options. Servings and quality are worth the price.
