Great food, inexpensive, and nice staff.

Disappointing service and food. Sauce tasted like it came from a can. Chicken was tough. Ground beer taco was good.

This is their “cali burrito.”-$11.03 Consists of rice, steak, beans, and maybe cheese. This is take out but their restaurant doesn’t give off a sit down vibe. Between the price, quality, and combination I do not recommend this place to anyone.

Always welcomes you and very polite!! The food is delicious!!!

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great and has prices that are abnormally high for Mexican/Latin American focused restaurants. I had the ChoriPollo, and the seasoning was pretty good, but the chicken was overcooked. Two friends had a burrito, and I found them to be quite awful, even worse so when price was considered. Rice was baseline and nothing else was particularly impressive. This could be a 4 restaurant if they lowered their prices, but for now, it stays a steady 3.

Me and my husband stopped by there on our way home from vacation. We both were very unhappy. The salsa was watered down and there was no salsa it looked like soup. I said something but the woman brought back the same thing. Not alot of choices on the menu. Most of the time when we go out to eat for mexican im so stuffed and can barely finish my food but not yhis time. My quesadilla was hard and chicken was over cooked and most of all the food wasnt fullfilling. Bad decision on where to eat and im still hungry which never happens after i jus go out to eat. Prices werent too bad.

Delicious ?
