" Cazadores is a gem in Santee! I have been here several times now, and every visit has been consistently good. The carne asada fries are a highlight for me – loaded with cheese and guacamole, they are a filling meal on their own. What keeps me coming back is the staff; they are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome right from the start. I appreciate that they make sure my order is correct even when I make special requests. The establishment is always clean and well-kept, which is nice to see considering the fast-food nature of the place. While the food has been great, I have noticed some variance in portion sizes. I had one experience where my burrito felt smaller than usual. However, this hasn't deterred me from returning. Overall, great place, recommended for anyone looking for solid Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Cazadores after hearing so many great things, and I was not disappointed. The enchilada plate was stuffed nicely, ample cheese on top and flavorful sauce. Service was prompt and friendly, which is always appreciated. My only issue was the atmosphere; it can feel a bit cramped if you are dining in during peak hours, making it less enjoyable. But overall, the food more than makes up for it. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found this hidden gem while searching for decent Mexican food, and it did not disappoint! I tried the shrimp tacos and they were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable. One small hiccup was my order took a bit long to come out, but the friendly staff made up for it with their cheerful demeanor. I can see why it's popular, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for good eats! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently dined here and was excited about the breakfast burrito I had heard so much about. While it was a decent size, I was anticipating more flavor. It was executed well, but not as spicy or seasoned as I prefer. The service was excellent; they were friendly and attentive. I noticed the ambiance felt warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal. Although the food was good enough, it did lack that wow-factor I was expecting. I'll likely return in hopes that different items on the menu will provide what I'm missing! Overall, I would rate my experience as good but not exceptional. " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s a reason why this place is packed every visit. The food truly tastes fresh and authentic, compared to other Mexican restaurants. I ordered the cheese enchilada combo, and I was blown away by the flavor. Everything was seasoned just right! The downside was the wait time during peak hours, which can stretch longer than expected. However, I’m willing to overlook it since the food quality was top-notch and the staff worked hard to keep things moving. Looking forward to trying their breakfast menu next! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in for a quick lunch and was wowed by the California burrito! It had everything you could want — carne asada, cheese, guacamole, and fries. Pair that with the green salsa from their bar and you have a culinary delight! The dining area was buzzing with energy, though it can fill up quickly during lunch spikes. I appreciate the staff’s courteous service, making sure everything was okay. A very satisfying experience, and I intend to return for more soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I'm quite picky when it comes to my Mexican food, having grown up in Southern California. But Cazadores holds up fairly well! The carne asada burrito was flavorful with plenty of meat and guacamole that truly added to the experience. I was happy to find out they also offer a salsa bar, which is easily one of my favorites! Even though the restaurant can be a bit crowded sometimes, it adds to the lively atmosphere. I had to wait a little longer for my order, but the friendly service made it worth it. Definitely returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)
