Chalios 24 Hrs

If you were ever sitting there with time to kill charging your EV at the Electrify America and across the parking lot, you see this place and ask yourself if you should go there the answer is definitely yes. You’re welcome. My order was ready in no time. You can sit and eat there, but I recommend just grabbing your food and walking back to your car.

Oh. My. Goodness. All these years I've given myself to In n Out, McDonalds, and Taco Bell, and there was this hidden gem right across the street??? First - we tried out a few different meats: lengua, carne asada, and cabeza. All were so tender, juicy, and flavorful. The burrito and three tacos we ordered were very well constructed. The burrito.was HUGE! I shared the burrito with my college age daughter and we both walked away fully sated. The decor is.... minimal. But don't let that deter you. You come here for the good food and decent prices. I've always felt fancy decor was just a restaurant's way of diverting your attention away from what matters - the quality of food. This has become our new midway food break destination. So glad we found it!?

My go-to spot whenever I have to drive I-5. I love the breakfast burrito with potato, but I don’t think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. I’m always on the hunt for a good vegetarian Mexican meal and this place hits the spot and is better than most fast food options along the route. The beans and rice were really flavorful. I wish they put a bit more salsa in the burrito but it was served it on the side and it was delicious. Like others said it could stand to be slightly cleaner inside, but it’s not a deal breaker. They have bathrooms, a spacious inside area, and even an option to sit on the patio. I’ll see you on the way back Chalios!

Look no further!!! OMG the best tacos I’ve ever had. So authentic so much flavor, the sauce!! I’ve had my share of lots of tacos but not like these. God bless their business, they seem to put God first with bible verses in the front by the register and have an amazing attitude and willingness to help. Such a lovely dinner, thank you so much for your hospitality!

Must stop by and try out this hidden gem! If you want authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price, right off the I-5, look no further. Super friendly staff!

Skip the busy palm treed burger spot down the street, this place is a WAY better choice. I tried five different tacos, they were all great. The stewed chicharron taco is a classic you don’t see very often where I live now, but I grew up with them & this place does them right. Lengua & chorizo are also great. My tacos came perfectly pre-dressed with cilantro, onion & salsa. One HUGE advantage for travelers staying at the motels nearby is this is easier to walk to than the BBQ spot & the burger chains across the highway. I will most certainly eat here again, it’s perfect.

When you least expect it, this place by the I-5 serves delicious, authentic Mexican food! One of the best I’ve eaten at in California. I recommend their Barbacoa and Adobada tacos. It’s finger food so it’ll be a little messy, but their bathroom is quite clean and every time I visit they’ve had hand soap refilled. what a relieve!

This place looks like it really has potential on being a good place to hang out given the space in side and the small stage for music bands. I'm curious as to how it is there when it's busy. I'm giving the food a 4 star due to the fact that I ordered a burrito and it came out pretty dry. Their menu is pretty decent. I guess I can give it another go if I'm ever traveling back to Sow Cal.
