“ Posted on Google a while back and then updated today. Everything about this place is AMAZING...starting with the staff taking orders to the limes and hot sauces with our phenomenal meals! Please do yourself the favor of trying the Birria Ramen!!! Holy smokes!!! Fantastic! Thank you guys!! Update 2.28.2025 Still a 5-star joint! I experienced a little bit of a messed up order and we order lunch so often from Bad Hombres that it's shocking how many times they get it right! So I contacted management and they refunded part of the order making it right immediately. I just want to say that every time I have someone (family, friend or otherwise) visit San Diego one of the first places we hit is Bad Hombres Santee! And if you want a little laugh...read the items on the kid's (Bad Ninos) menu! ”

“ No pictures cuz who got time for that when you got one of these thick ass burritos in your face. I'm more of a Northern California burrito guy with "filler" ie; rice and beans.. so I got the surf and turf with beans , sour cream, guacamole and boy o boy.. finally a delicious burrito. Every component of the burrito tasted amazing. The cheese was melted, the rice and beans intertwined through the meat and shrimp and the sour cream and quacamole was a delicious cold contrast to the hot rice and beans. Ordered the food and they were quick and didn't hesitate to take my complicated order. It's a well oiled restaurant that is fine in and drive through. Everyone was nice and I can't wait to go back and in the meantime I'm having my leftovers for dinner! That burrito was hella big! ”

“ Great taco shop in Santee. Their Cali burritos remind me of the old school burritios. They come with quality asada, fries, cheese, and sour cream. I do think though I'll add pico to my burrito next for some acidity. Considering all in all fair pricing and good quick service ”

“ Wow! The Birria red tacos are amazing! I stumbled upon this taco spot while scrolling through photos online and thought, "This looks pretty fire!" I decided to give it a try, went through the drive-thru, and ordered 3 Birria red tacos, 2 Bad Hombres tacos, an elote, a Surf and Turf burrito, and a medium horchata. Everything was great! The crispy Birria tacos with melty cheese were perfect...messy, juicy, and packed with flavor! The horchata was a good too, it tasted homemade, not like the ones from those soda machines. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this drive-thru taco shop. This place is definitely worth checking out! Not bad at all! ”

“ Visited 12/6/2024 I was told this place had some tasty tacos so I had to check it off my Got To Try list. I ordered one each, A Birria Red Taco, A Fish Taco, a Surf & Turf Taco and a Bad Hombres Taco. The menu is simple but has a good selection to choose from. All four of the tacos I ordered were very tasty and the House Made Corn Tortillas were to die for. Made By Hand Fresh Every Day. Very special seeing they are in the same parking lot as another well known Excellent Taco establishment. This place does a lot of takeout and one of the few in SD that has a Drive through. Definitely one of two best Taco Places In Santee. Highly Worth Visit. ”

“ 12/2/2024 - I went through the drive thru and ordered a breakfast burrito, carne asada burrito, and a carnitas burrito. Breakfast burrito was average and not flavorful. The other two were good. Took just 5 minutes from ordering to having the items. These 3 items to feed 6 people. Cars in front of me as well. Nice customer service. A total of 4 stars. ”

“ I've been hearing about this taco shop on social media but it's so out the way I never made time to come out this way. I'm glad I did though because it was worth it!! I only tried the carne asada fries so I might be a little biased but I'm willing to come back to try something else! ”

“ I think I've found my new favorite Mexican spot in San Diego! This place is truly amazing, and I can't recommend it enough. The Surf and Turf Fries are a must-try. The shrimp was cooked to perfection while the meat had some really good char/flavor. They drizzle on a generous amount of sauces and cheese, which adds to the indulgence, but I'd suggest adding some extra hot sauce if you like spice. Another huge bonus is the drive-thru, which is a lifesaver on those hot summer days when you want something delicious without the hassle. Service was top-notch--definitely a 10/10. You can tell they really care about their business and the experience they provide. Would I go again? Absolutely! ”

“ I'm so glad that i got to try @badhombresgoodmexicanfood , it will change your perspective positively about the authentic mexican food. The portion is huge which is perfect for foodie people I loved the surf and turf fries so much, i wished i don't get full so i can have it all You can tell the burrito and red taco is different story I recommend you to try their drinks bc the three choices that we got are so delicious and refreshing, perfect for this weather ”
