Food here is absolutely stellar. Originally was a bit worried when I came in and saw no one around. Was pleasantly surprised by both the price and the delicious food!

Love this place! I've never had a bad meal here and my order has never been wrong! I honestly have never had refried beans that I liked, but their refried beans are delicious! Try the burrito especiale or burrito al pastor. You won't be disappointed....Read More

Love this place for lunch, or to grab chips and salsa for the office. Gets packed on a Friday for lunch so we go before noon. Everything is good and lots of food for the price.
