"I have gone there for over ten years and have loved it and the employees but I went last week and the cashier prepared my food without wearing gloves, washing her hands or even using hand sanitizer. I asked if she could wear gloves and she said they never wear gloves and that she used hand sanitizer. She lied because I watched her the whole time being that it's an open kitchen. She never cleaned her hands and she had at least 10 customers in the restaurant. She had a really bad attitude and so I just asked for my money back. Also the cook was not cooking food but rather taking food from the refrigerator and heating it up in the microwave or toaster oven. I have never seen her or her co worker there so they might be new. They were both young during early evening shift. I think it's disgusting when someone prepares my food with dirty hands, especially during a pandemic. Gross!!! I don't think I will go there ever again."

The California burritos are amazing! Sometimes the guac isn't the freshest. But I've eaten here hundreds of times, it's usually great.

These guys are fantastic! It took them a bit longer than usual to prepare my order today, so they gave me nearly double the amount of food. Excellent customer service! View menu

The customer service is excellent. The red hot sauce is the perfect blend of heat and flavor. This place is definitely a great choice. The experience is absolutely worth it!

Prices went up so it's $13.90 for a carne asada plate with tax. Very tasty and you fast cooking time. Waited less than 5 min at 12:00p on Saturday. Their flour tortilla was fantastic. Ordered the 4 carne asada plate.

"I adore this restaurant. Golden Hill is filled with many many quality eateries, and Counterpoint anchors the neighborhood with it's fun atmosphere and dedication to quality. They recently renovated and the new space is open, airy and provides a variety of seating options: bar seating, restaurant seating, and upper balcony (I use this as a quiet place to WFH during the week), and an outdoor patio. I'm partial to the biscuit and gravy for breakfast, but the brined chicken and waffles or breakfast hash always makes me smile and sends me unto the world with a better outlook on life and a doggie bag. When it's hot, delicious crunchy salads are on the lunch menu and the craft beers and unique slushy flavors change. Counterpoint takes the quality of food and libations seriously. The craft cocktails rotate as the bartenders are encouraged to explore and grow. The owner and team are always warm, welcoming and make sure you have a good experience. Did I mention they are DOG friendly? Definitely worth the trip up the hill from downtown if you're looking to wind down after an event or precharge and eat before a baseball game. I love to bring my friends for a snack (try the olive selection) and chat on a twilight night. Space heaters outside if you get cold. Fans inside if you get warm. Honestly if you live in or are visiting the 92102 area code you should go to Counterpoint: good food, really good cocktails, and great company. It is clear that this establishment cares about quality, cares about your comfort and loves if you have a good time."
