" This place has the potential to be great, though I have encountered service inconsistencies. The last time I visited, I was disappointed with how dry the cemitas were and the lack of the fresh Papalo leaves I love. I know they have it in them to improve. I’ll keep coming back in hopes they recover their previous quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not bad, but not great either. The food was decent but lacked the wow factor I was hoping for. I might give it another chance but for now, my experience didn’t live up to the hype. Service was good but could use some improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" A cozy spot with a family feel, Cemitas Fandanguero serves some of the best authentic cemitas in North San Diego. The freshness of the ingredients truly shines through. I appreciate how friendly and welcoming the staff are. Could have larger portions at this price point, but still a fantastic place to dine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Cemitas Fandanguero! A friend recommended the carne asada fries and I wasn’t disappointed. There’s something special about this restaurant, like the food was made with heart. You can taste the authenticity. The atmosphere is warm, and I felt immediately at home here. " (*Curated Review*)

" The cemitas here are unmatched! I love the unique Pueblan flavors and the homemade touch that makes every bite feel special. The staff were very accommodating and patient. The overall vibe is laid back but vibrant. The only downside is sometimes seating can be limited during peak hours, but it’s worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with my partner and we each got different types of cemitas. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor! Unfortunately, the wait time was a bit long due to the crowd. It’s clear that this place is a local favorite. I look forward to returning, hopefully during a less busy time! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I've received amazing food here previously, my last order was a disappointment. The al pastor burrito lacked flavor and was delivered cold. However, the staff were polite and apologetic, which was appreciated. I’ll want to give them another chance because I know what they can do when they’re on top of their game. " (*Curated Review*)
