Mary M MottaJanuary 28, 2015I love the frozen margaritas - my bf loves the rocks margaritas. decently priced and can taste the tequila (not weak drinks). they have specials before 6pm for drinks. food's decent, not dirt cheap.
Homemade chips&salsa are some of the best Ive ever had, which keeps me coming back along w/the decor despite the food going from great to good. Order the burrito w/fries - not on the menu, just ask
Jess MireauOctober 5, 2015Rachel's is our go to. Flourless burrito or tacos mexicanos. I do miss the del mar buritto tho 🍤. Tasty margs...go for rocks with salt.
Kev SkinnySeptember 11, 2014Chips and salsa are good. I tried the chicken mole burrito. Give it a shot. Many dont realize mole sauce is amazing. Peanutty almost chocolatey. Stuff your face with that asap.
Margaritas are cheap and strong. Food comes out in less than 10 minutes, and it's delicious. Most entree's come out in HUGE portions, so be prepared. Forget the haters. Just enjoy!
Nate FolkertApril 13, 2015rosarito surf and turf - skirt steak, grilled shrimp, beans, rice, guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream
Harris DeckerAugust 8, 2011Probably some of the best fagitas I've had. This place is not afraid to spice up their dishes, very hot stuff at Rachel's. Also, the Watermelon Juice is the perfect thing to cool your pallet in betwee Read more
Rachel B.September 6, 2014Everything..only tip I have is if you are sensitive to extremely s picey food...ask about your dish...spicey-ness is not obvious....but no matter...GREAT FOOD!!!!!!
I just got arrived and the are having electrical problems so NO Grilled food at this time.. I am so disappointed. I do have my pink lemonade marguerita and it is pretty good..
Bill MurphyMay 1, 2011Get the Enchilada al Suizas with Carnitas! Its like the classy reincarnation of the old style San Loco Pork Pipian Enchiladas (from me that's basically calling it god-like)
Meg LewisJuly 18, 2015Rachel's is my favorite guilty pleasure. Get the lemonade margarita and enjoy the sugar rush!
Autumn RayneMarch 19, 2015Fish burrito was good can't say the same for the beef enchilada rice was dry. Guac was delicious and drinks are on point.- Carlos ValleOctober 2, 2014The Outrageous California is a small child disguised as a burrito. It's very tasty but it will make you will feel fat.
Jessica ImbertOctober 11, 2014San Diego fries. Sangria, mango margaritas, pineapple pina colada very strong & so good!!!
EM WrightOctober 13, 2013The Frozen Margaritas are to die for. I'm so coming back. Make sure you have Zac as your waiter. Big Tip
My favorite spot...great drinks, great food, great service. ..who could ask for more? !!!
Frozen mojitos and margaritas are the best. Burger Buritto to die for ( fries and burger inside burrito!!!)
Cheap drinks, giant burritos and a laid back vibe, hard to go wrong here.
TV Food MapsAugust 29, 2014Check out Rachel's Taqueria as it was featured on Food Paradise for Mole infused burrito. Read more
If you want attentive service, come during the day time. The servers are great. You can practice your Spanish.
The pink lemonade margarita is awesome! Coconut not so bad. Leave the passion fruit flavor alone!
Ryan HamiltonApril 27, 2013If Guy Fieri birthed a Chipotle that served decent $5 24 oz beers, you'd get this place. I kinda like it.
Amazing grilled shrimp! Switchbitchrecords.com free sampler cd: switchbitchrecords.bandcamp.com
Daddy's Sunshine!!January 8, 2012Very good food!!! Omg.. Delicious! The Margaritas.. Not the best but, they're drinkable. Great decor as well. =)
- Matt CottomSeptember 4, 2011Some of the best Mex food I've ever had. Great service and drinks too. I love this place!
The BBQ menu items are actually on point, not just a taco joint.
LaurenJuly 11, 2011Love the healthy-ish burritos like the "park slope vegetarian" and "venice." Counterbalance being healthy with a delicious pomegranate marg!
Sabrina MajeedJuly 26, 2015I know this is a Mexican restaurant but hear me out: the cheeseburger was really good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Probably not why you came here, but the burger with Oaxaca cheese is really good!
Park Slope Vegetarian Burrito is awesome! Yogurt instead of sour cream.
Margaritas, chips, salsa, and burritos. That's all there is to it.
- The dinnertime service is below their usual standards. No one greets you to seat you. The severs take way too long to greet & take your order. Saturday night must be when they train newbies.
JamesOctober 27, 2013Restaurant half-empty. Plenty of two-tops and a four-top were available, and yet they made my party of three wait 20 minutes for the ONE three-top to open. Painful lack of restaurant management.
Brianne SperberNovember 13, 2011Try any of the frozen margarita specials. Taco platters win, always.
Edward ORourkeJanuary 9, 2011Crazy busy, drinks are good, Guacamole is made table side to your taste, extensive menu of burritos.
Robert PalermoMarch 28, 2011Get the outrageous Cali burrito. Worth the price cuz you can take home left overs.
IT'S USUALLY PRETTY LOUD IN THERE. Doesn't matter though because the food is so good.
Lauren HansenJuly 10, 2015The food is alright, although a little on the bland side. Margaritas are pretty unfortunate, and the "spicy" guac wasn't close to spicy.
