Average at best. I don't know why this place has a high rating. The cooks are lazy. Meat has no flavor. Tastes like they unpacked the meat and threw it on the grill. And it's chewy. I only came here because I dropped someone off...Read More

Food (CA burrito with guac) was great, red sauce was pretty good, customer service was absolutely horrible. Two employees standing near the counter (Saturday 8/31/24 - 845 am) completely ignored me when I walked up and said hello, and continued their private conversation for another...Read More

Food was decent but the service wasn't good! Why they put lettuce on a cheese enchilada? And a taco next to enchilada, making everything soggy! Chips and hot sauce are good...
