Old school Taco shop located here in El cajon. I've been coming here for about 10 years and love their burritos! They also add in a side of spicy carrots and fried chilies as well for the burrito which I really like. I usually get the same thing every time I come which is a pollo asada California burrito. I haven't really tried other things on the menu since coming here but I decided to try the chicken California fries and they were pretty good. I also really like their red sauce. Service is usually quick unless there's a huge line then it can take about 10-15 minutes longest. There is seating inside or outside.

I've been coming here for 20 years, my parents used to take me here when I was a little kid and I've been coming back ever since as a grown up. I always order their breakfast burrito. It is rarely matched by anybody else. And they have one of the best red hot sauces in town. I have not ventured off and ordered much of the other items on their menu but I'm sure they would be good as well. I've literally been ordering the same breakfast burrito for 20 years. The only issue I have is that they changed their packaging of the burritos from Styrofoam plates with aluminum foil to just paper and aluminum foil which makes the burrito kind of soggy quick. But I will continue to come back!

I'm really happy I tried Silva's today for the first time. The place is clean and colorful with plenty of parking. I ordered the bacon california burrito and ate it there. This burrito was delicious and filling! Just the right amount of meat, fries, bacon and sour cream. I got the red salsa and it had a super tasty slow burn to it. They added a really flavorful green chili and carrot slice next to the burrito which was a delightful surprise when unwrapping, great presentation. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and you can tell that care and soul goes into the food. For all these reasons, I'm now a fan of Silva's and look forward to my next visit!

I was in need of a delicious burrito to help with a hangover and Silvia's California Burrito hit the spot! I can be picky with California burritos, but theirs is yummy. The carne asada is juicy and flavorful and the ingredients are well disbursed through the burrito. Plus they don't try to put any weird ingredients that don't belong in a Cali like some other taco shops. The red salsa was very good as well, I didn't try the green as I prefer red. Silva's is a no frills taco shop, there are some tables outside. Service is quick and friendly.
