About

Sayulitas Mexican Food fuses Mexican and Filipino recipes at its Santee location on Woodside Avenue, running a multicultural kitchen that adds lumpia, sisig, and tocino to a menu already stacked with carne asada burritos and hand-battered fish tacos. The full-tray catering arm scales chilaquiles, enchilada platters, and churros to graduation parties and corporate events, a large-format prep operation in the same off-site meal space as Bellyful Meals across Santee. Breakfast burritos launch at early morning with machaca, huevos rancheros, and chorizo-and-egg builds that draw the commuter crowd before it hits the I-8. The surf-and-turf burrito packs grilled shrimp and carne asada into a single oversized tortilla built for post-workout refueling, a high-protein option that draws late-afternoon traffic from CrossFit Dark Side east on Woodside Avenue. The kitchen hand-batters its cod and shrimp for the fish taco plates using a beer-based tempura recipe that produces a light, crunchy shell around each fillet.
