I go here all the time for the salsa & Pico de Gallo sides. 😋 I can honestly say they have great customer service and they do establish in a busy area for the parking but overall their food is delicious & the prices are reasonable. … More

Ordered delivery and the service was great. The food however was highly disappointing and expensive for what we got. The 'carne asada' burrito was more like ground beef and not good at all. The beans and rice were just as bad. The only thing out of my order that I revommend would be the chips and salsa. Would never order from again. More

17$ for 2 tacos and a medium drink is outrageous. It is disappointing how much your overcharging your community and on top of it the quality of the food has went down tremendously. More

1st things first tacos are amazing buttttt… it’s very expensive & the excuse is “prices are going up” but to charge someone 30+ for 6 tacos and 1 horchata that is outrages. Especially in the community they are in, I understand your food is … More

I’ve had them before and I noticed they prices are too high. Some of their portions are kids size. Not worth it.. only reason I came here was because of the holiday and nothing was open. I don’t get why people like this place. I guess driving out is too much for some.

Their California burrito is delicious. We buy these often and they are consistently good. They are filling and freshly made. It’s a little bit pricey. This order was $11 which is substantially more than a $7 chipotle burrito. The staff is friendly and helpful. Mostly Spanish speakers but good enough English to get your food right.

The very best tacos ! They are super hospitable and give chips and salsa while we are waiting for food. Have been there many times (my favorite - shrimp tacos with avocado) and also introduced friends to it. Tastes great and is beyond affordable :)

Overpriced and overcooked. Steak burrito with rice and beens $17.50. Pricing not listed on menu. Beans are watered down. Steak was cooked till it was dried up. Factory made yellow chips. Slow service. Pass up this one!! More
