Sorianas Mexican Food on Santee's Cuyamaca Street has prepared traditional Mexican plates since 2003, building a taqueria menu around carne asada, machaca, and hand-rolled tamales at the 9470 block. The kitchen substitutes hand-cut home-style potatoes for standard french fries in its California burrito, a regional preparation also featured along the Cuyamaca corridor at Emma's Mexican Food and its birria-forward lineup. Breakfast burritos built from chorizo con huevos or potato-egg-cheese combinations ship in oversized flour tortillas sized for the East County morning commute. The salsa bar runs from mild pico de gallo through a habanero-grade house recipe, a heat spectrum that pairs naturally with the import cerveza and mezcal inventory at Golden Eagle Wine & Spirits on Magnolia Avenue. The full carne asada program involves marinated skirt steak grilled over open flame and chopped to order for burritos, mulitas, quesadillas, and the signature five-piece rolled-taco plate with guacamole.
