Efes is the Turkish name for Ephes…
This was the first time my girlfriend and I ordered from this restaurant. Sometimes you just don't know what the quality or taste of the food is going to be when scrolling thru so many choices. We were both happy with the price, quality and taste. Her chicken bowl was flaky and she gobbled up everything and she is an extremely picky eater. My fish tacos were simply yummy. The beans made the tacos a little wet but the slight mess was worth the taste. Would order from this taqueria again.

Prawn Fajitas arrived cold; the fajita vegetable medley was good and included mushrooms, zuccini, and bell peppers. The addition of onions would make it even better. Fresh Salsa & Chips included both spicy (Left compartment in pic) )and mild salsa (right compartment) in the same carry out box but separate comparments. Recommend separating or providing options to choose one or both. Caution that Spicy salsa was very hot!

This SF taqueria used to be one of the best back in the days when burritos were so big you had to hold them with both hands. Tonight I tried this place again with high hopes of tasting the familiar deliciousness of the past. Unfortunately, it tastes nothing like that goodness. I went for it spent the extra money and ordered an all meat carne asada burrito. With the price and the lack of meat (and mostly all beans), it left me feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. I was left to wonder, "where's the beef?" I suspect that this will probably be the last time I eat at la Cumbre.

The Regular Burrito is a family favorite. So flavorful. The perfect ratio of meat, beans, and rice. Very filling - the portions are huge. The ingredients taste fresh.

I ordered a Super Nachos and regular asada taco. The taco was good and exactly what I wanted. The chips in the nacho were thin and got soggy quickly, I also wasnt expecting the cheese to be a sauce. Good tasting food at a reasonable price.
