    Very good Mexican taqueria food.  

    Rice and beans were outstanding.  Salsa bar was fresh.  Fish tacos were top notch.  

    Service was fast.  

    Each combo meal comes with a little bag of chips and a corn tamalito.  A nice touch.

    Wasn't overly impressed with the rolled Tacos ,or the polo asada plate.
    Beans,rice were just OK for me.The Chicken was dry and lacked seasoning. Tortilla seemed like poor quality store bought.
    Rolled Tacos were small compared to some other places.
    Probably won't come back . We'll see.

    Worst mexican food ever. If yoy are a cheese lover then this place is just for you. When to use a restroom there was homeless sitting in the bathroom told the cashier (lady) she said ok but didnt even went to check at all. Started talking to the cook. Never ever going back. There was no customer in the resturant thought to try it out. No wonder why no one eats there.

    Tasty pollo Asado burrito. Was it the best burrito I've ever had? No. But it definitely hit the spot for lunch. Very fast service and great salsa bar. I added some pickled jalapeños and salsa verde to kick it up a notch. Leaving with a full belly without feeling super heavy.

    This is a alternative to Vallarta down the street. Vallarta is always busy at night and this place isn't. No drive thru tho!

    The burritos are huge. The salsas could be improved.

    My wife loved the veggie burrito
