    Everything - best Mexican spot I've found in the city, and I've looked. Family is from Mexico City. If you like tex mex you'll live this place (grew up in Texas)

    Veggie burrito has all of the ingredients of the spinach burrito and the bean burrito combined plus it's got corn and sautéed onions. It's giant and excellent. Awesome burrito + BYOB = new fav place.

    Yes potato jalepeno soft taco is delish. And spicy so get some sour cream on the side. All their spicy sauces are amazing and come with the dish + some chips. A+

    The Red Snapper Fish Tacos this past weekend were singularly the best fish tacos... AND taco I have ever had. Unassuming, tiny, and next time I will BMOB even though they have awesome soda choices.

    Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs when ordering these gigantic and authentic burritos filled with delicious seasoned grilled chicken, mildly spicy salsa, yellow rice, and fried black beans.

    A little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant and the food reflects the name. The burritos are huge and very good. Be advised as it is cash only.
