      There are many Mexican restaurants around our area but this place is the best! I'd give them 6 stars if I could.

      Good service. Everyone always nice and works hard. It's almost seems like most employees are associated with the owner's family.

      Excellent food. The fish tacos and carnitas burrito were the most tasty I've ever had.

      if i can rate a 0 i would. i am extremely disappointed
      i am a regular customer and today i was served this burrito. i asked twice for them to re wrap it and was just given a new paper wrapping no foil or new tortilla.
      pretty upsetting when you can't hold burrito without it falling apart should've ordered a burrito bowl at this point.

      This is my first time trying this place. After traveling, we came here after the flight really really hungry. My brother ordered a steak burrito and had no complaints except that it tasted different. I ordered carnitas nachos and we took it home. To my surprise, I got fries instead of chips. Normally I'd be ok, but I was really really craving nacho-nachos after not eating all day. I figured I'd still enjoy with the chips they provide. It had mozzarella but it gets hard once it cools. I was expecting even a little nacho cheese to balance. The top seemed ok. The orange-ish dressing they add makes it weird. It's like thousand island dressing, so it adds a weird sweet burger-reminiscent flavor, which threw me off. Could've used more onions,cilantro, and tomato as it was very light. I thought the green salsa was weird. One was liquid and the other like gelatin. The gelatin one tasted different from the liquid one.

      The main reason I gave it a 1 was because they should be ashamed of the meat they gave me. I ordered carnitas. They're supposed to be soft and succulent. I was given very burnt and super dry meat. I had to spit a lot of mouthfuls several times because it was burnt and dry like bark. It tasted bitter and was just awful. Then in one bite I hurt my tooth. I don't know if it was a small piece of bone or charred to stone piece of meat. I couldn't finish my food. I had to throw the food away. Too many black burnt pieces with brown shredded tree bark underneath. Not worth the $15 something dollars it cost. I'm never coming back here again. Such a waste of food. What worried me was that a lady in the kitchen said "aqui no se desperdicia la comida" which means "here we do not waste food." That makes me think they reuse food from mistake orders to use onnew ones to not throw away their food. That is so crappy, as it could endanger someone with food allergies. That made me super uncomfortable.

      Consistently good. The handmade tortillas are on point. Their breakfasts are great. As a parent, I love that they have a kids quesadilla. Super friendly staff.

      Let me just start off by saying the service here is amazing. These people are crazy busy 24/7 and still manage to go above and beyond for their customers.
      I called in an order for a couple tacos a few days ago on a busy Friday night, when I got home 2 of my 4 tacos were the wrong meat flavor. I was annoyed at first but I was also very understanding of the fact that they had so many orders to fulfill.
      Usually I would have just ate them but I wasn't a huge fan of the meat they had given me so I gave them a call to ask if I can go get my correct order.. of course they agreed and to my surprise they gave me my whole 4 taco order all over again AND a free drink when I was really only expecting my 2 tacos re-made.
      I will definitely be back! Great establishment.

      I love beef tongue burrito here. I ordered it every time I come to this area. Must try to go!
      Best recommendation: order by phone and come to pick up. It saves you from waiting ~ 20-30 mins.
      I don't like to dine-in for the condition of the shop.

      Tacos are okay. Safe to say they use fresher meats.

      Burritos tasted like they use left over meats from hours ago. Definitely not fresh meats on the burritos.
