Food is just isnt that great, but the prices are ridiculous. When it first opened they were inexpensive and around what typical Mexican food cost. They got popular and their prices jumped. This was before the pandemic so no that wasnt why. Its like $8 for a taco and combo plates hover near $20. For two people its easily $50+ to eat at a fast food Mexican place? Just go down the street to El Azteca

My friends brought me here to try since it's their go to spot. Got the surf n turf burrito and a beer. The burrito was huge and fulfilling. And the beer made everything so much better. I'd definitely come back and try other things on the menu.

The portions are insane! Ordered nachos and it was enough for two people, the California burrito must have been at least 1 1/2 - 2 lbs, my friend couldn’t finish it, the tacos were overflowing with toppings. 24 hrs 7 days a week, it’s my favorite all night Mexican food!

I could not believe my eyes when I saw the size of these Christian frys ... and they were sooooo good ? I highly recommend this place ?

Burritos are huge. Got the Surf and Turf. They don't skimp on the shrimp. Had to knock off 1 star though because it took forever to get. Be prepared to wait awhile if you order through the drive through.

I usually live this place bur today my burrito was cold and took forever to get. They accidentally tried to give me the wrong order. Then they gave me 11 containers of salsa for one burrito. What a waste.

I always spend more than 50 dlls at this taco shop. Grilled chicken tacos is always chopped chicken breast and today they gave me shredded, its a huge difference in taste. Carne asada fries were cold and the fries super hard, like if the fries had been sitting their for quiet some time. Adobada torta had no meat it was all fat, threw away more than half. El cocinero de hoy no se merece paga. Ya son como cualquier otro taco shop 1/23/22

Best fresh ingredient Mexican food! Menudo every day, open 24/7! What more could you ask for?! Always good and a regular favorite!

los burritos

I'm torn on this, some days they are great, other times not good at all. Their machaca and egg burrito used to be LOADED with meat and a decent amount of egg and cheese and peppers. The last few times it has been pretty bad, from a crusty tortilla to the last one on 12/18 being 90% egg, with a handful of cold, unmelted cheese, a whole raw chopped green pepper, and at best, 2 tablespoons of meat. I get that costs are going up, I'm happy to pay more, but don't give me and egg and uncooked pepper burrito. Also their habanero salsa used to be really hot and delicious, it's okay now but very mild.
