The burritos are amazing, the fish tacos are the best I've had period. Visited my sister for a few weeks, ate at least four times, within walking distance. Happy I tried it. Did I mention they have a four pound burrito?

I ordered the Kitchen Sink. No doubt the best fry combination at any taco shop. We snagged food for the office and everyone was on board with CTS being the designated taco shop.

Very good menu of filling well prepared selections. Great salsas that are hard to beat. Free carrots for dine in : ) any burrito can be chimichanga style. If you're really hungry Cali burrito is excellent one of my best burrito recommendations

The cashier Karla is really rude and has a bad attitude. She also doesn't welcome costumers and ignores them. She also doesn't have any manners like being polite and saying thank you or you're welcome.
