We went back the very next day and ordered the same thing..but was missing out on the guacamole the second time around. Regardless my wife and I have found another go to place for some good mexican food.

... Nice people, food is great. One of my favorite places to go for mexican❤️❤️❤️

Carne asada tacos, rice and beans, and a vegetarian burrito is what we ordered. It's quick, easy, and inexpensive to order, like a fast food chain, but, the food here is way better than fast food. They have a fun salsa bar also.

I have been there 2 times now. First time we remember it being better. This time wasn’t as good, and he accused me of stealing a drink. I clearly asked for a soda and a water when we ordered, little bit of a language barrier maybe, but an honest mistake that should have been handled better. He was combative and wouldn’t even listen when I was explaining I asked for a soda and a water. He also didn’t hand me any cups when we finished ordering so when I asked for our drinks, as he was walking away, he motioned where to get cups instead of getting them for us. If he had handed me cups it may have gotten sorted then.I did check my receipt and indeed I wasn’t charged for a drink so I went and paid for it, but we won’t be back. Food wasn’t good enough to overcome that type of experience.

Superb food and that is coming from a SoCal guy. Try the beef burrito, they do the marinating and spicing really well.

Gone here twice, as a local chef myself closing after 12 it's this or in n out when I want to mix things up. I have had the super burrito abodaba which was dry and nowhere near an al pastor I'm used to. The "salsa" is an embarrassment to Mexican cuisine. The green is repulsive and the red is just boring. There was maybe a spoonful of sour cream in the whole burrito. So many great reviews though I gave it a second chance. Got 2 chimichangas carne asada and carnitas but both tasted of nothing but salt and the boxes were mislabeled with the carnitas in the asada box and vice versa. I'll give one star for portion size but that's really the only thing I can compliment apart from being open 24 hours.

Had the chimichanga. They have a salsa bar in fountain drinks. Plus you can get gas at the same place.

Wow. Didnt know this place was here ! Found it whe. Looking for a quick bite. The portions are hugh! Shareable for sure ! Soo good ! Burrito and nachos are amazing!

Never disappoints. Great food. The whole family loves it.

Open 24 hours baby! There's not much open late in the area, and it's a great choice with a drive through and it's attached to a gas station too so pretty heckin' convenient. It is just as delicious as I expect every white building, red-roofed fast Mexican fare slinging place to be. Yum! Comforting!
