Excellent food and service. A little off the beaten path, but worth going out of your way to enjoy the food.

Ordered breakfast burritos with sausage. They are huge and very yummy! The salsa/hot sauce is perfect! Just enough heat!

Came to this restaurant after being in the area with my family. This restaurant did not disappoint, food was delicious and is authentic Mexican food. The place is clean and well kept. The only reason I have it a 4 star is because I like my food to be extra hot, but the cook was kind enough to warm it up for me since food was a little lukewarm.

Such great food! I usually take it to go, but have eaten on the patio before and it was very nice. They also have a salsa bar with delicious salsa and carrots. It's my favorite Mexican food restaurant. My favs: rolled tacos, enchiladas, chorizo breakfast burrito, California burrito (obvi), and the carne asada burrito.

The authenticity here is pretty top notch! I'm really surprised how good the Mexican food is here. The menu is huge too, and they still are able to pull off good quality food! I was super impressed! Any questions we had, the lady at the front counter was quick to answer all the questions and explain food items more in depth. It's a little spot, with outside seating. I got the chilé rellano burrito, and it was dummy good! I've had the carné asada as well and that was fire too! Also a salsa bar, with free chips are always a big win. We can not wait to come back!

A burrito that stands upright on its own is a legit Burrito. I got a machaca burrito with Cheese. It's so big and tasty I couldn't finish it in one sitting. My co-worker and I have been coming here a lot on Sundays and getting different items for time to time. I got the grilled fish taco before and its huge! you only need one. I've also gotten the Carnitas burritos, Chorizo burritos, asada tacos, rolled tacos, crunchy tacos. Pretty much everything I have had was good. We will most likely be back next Sunday lol.

Came back here after a long time. The guy helped me so much! I wanted to order the mojarra Friday plates but they were out so he told me they had fish filets so i ordered 2 of those. I ordered a California burrito and a grilled chicken burrito without sour cream. The food was really good but my fish was salty. Good thing the veggies and tortillas helped masked it. I bought chips as well because they're my weakness. I'll be back because everything tastes good and they have the salsa bar back with hot carrots! They just need piña agua Fresca and they'll be perfect.
