    The food is worth coming for of course, but the drinks are amazing too. I love the mint lemonade they serve. Pairs nicely with a barbacoa burrito on the patio. Ahhhh. That's a relaxing "Ahhh".

    Even though this place is far from where I live, Taco Tuesdays are worth it! Their Barbacoa tacos are amazing, must try! And on Tuesdays you get them for only 1.50 each!

    I love the food here and I have been coming in for awhile now . Years as a matter of fact , today I found a wet moisturized fly along with my lettuce and pico. It was really disappointing .

    Even if it's not busy, it is always hectic behind the counter. I've never gotten an order 100% correct, and have to remind them several times about the Niño Quesadilla. Good food, though.

    If you like the burritos get a salad instead as it is the same thing as the burrito just with more lettuce, more pico, etc. More for your money!

    The food was good. Service is LOUSY! They literally threw together my burrito and SLAPPED the sauce on top. Not to mention, they also threw my kids (very tiny) quesadillas and missed the plates.

    Taco Tuesday!! Grab some tacos for 1.50 each. Pork is the best, and they make their own tortillas!!

    The lousy service almost ruins the decent food. And they have zero respect for kids, not caring about how badly they overcook or burn their food. Then cashier argues about it. Very very rude.

    Guess it's time to quit eating here again. I don't care if the food is decent or not, when you have an argumentative bitch taking your money, it kills the experience. Stupid twat.....
