      AWESOME carne asada burritos.
      fast & froendly service.
      be prepared, sometimes there are no seats available and there isn't much elbow room.

      carne asada with everything & chile verde sauce.

      this place use to be good, now its whatever the employees want it to be. I looked up and the ceiling fans along with the heating ducts have so much dust that disgusted me. The lgbtq guy at the counter had so much attitude I almost wanted to punch him in the face. I ordered tripe tacos extra crispy but he proceeded to give me whatever he wanted. I just threw them out and got the hell out of there. Ill never go

      The food use to be good here before covid. Now it's nasty and they never get your order right. I asked for a torta made with carne asada with the meat well done, they gave me more fat and nerve on the meat than anything. It was really chewy.

      Steak burrito was good. A little heavy on the seasoning, but decent quality meat with no chuey fat pieces inside.

      Don't bother calling for a to-go. They will hang up on you without even giving you time to say anything. When you call back, some rude guy will scream at you "one second! Shit"!

      Highly don't recommend this place. Very rude. Clearly they don't want money.

      If you place an order to go make sure you open and unwrap it there because it's never correct. I ordered tortas with cheese and avocado, which of course is an extra charge. However, I get home and there is no cheese or avocado in either one. On top of that they provided 1 salsa lol. What!?

      The best, tenderest taco de cabeza I have had in many years. The cecina is equally good; not too dry and the meat is almost sweet. And to think I passed this place by for years cuz I thought the name was stupid!

      I've been going here for about 9 years. I have never had bad service or a bad meal. Family friendly service. Some of my favorites are the breakfast dishes, menudo, steak tacos and the guacamole. Everything is good. Good variety of drinks too. If there was an area they can improve on it would definitely be the coffee.
