About

Los Rancheritos Mexican Food operates a counter-service Mexican kitchen in Lakeside at 10205 Lake Jennings Park Road, building a menu around oversized California burritos, carne asada plates, and fresh-made enchiladas since 2010. The breakfast-through-dinner format runs from machaca and egg burritos in the morning to chile relleno combination plates at dinner, sharing the Lake Jennings Park Road strip center with Wow Donuts next door. The San Diego County Department of Environmental Health assigned the kitchen a 97-out-of-100 inspection score, certifying cold-holding, hot-holding, and handwashing compliance across all prep stations. A house-made green salsa receives consistent praise for its balanced heat, and the guacamole is prepared to order from fresh avocados. The Lake Jennings Park Road location draws a steady flow of morning commuters and weekend visitors heading toward Lake Jennings campground and fishing area, two miles east. The California burrito wraps carne asada, french fries, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream into an oversized flour tortilla, producing a two-meal portion that anchors the counter's highest-volume ticket.
