We started with drinks and queso dip and man oh man was that gooooood!!!!! It was pretty dead inside given the time we arrived 4pm. But I don’t mind a quiet restaurant. I got a carne asada burrito which. Came with chicken and mushrooms. Definitely not what I’m used to coming from Arizona Mexican food. But i love mushrooms so win win. The flavour was decent. I’ll go again.

Haven’t been here in almost a year and I was really disappointed with the food portion. They cut back the amount of food served. Food tasted good and service was good.

Just not very good. Ordered a burrito that was supposed to have carnitas, rice, beans, queso, lettuce, and pico. What I received was a burrito with rice and carnitas with a weird cheese sauce on top. Unfortunately wouldn’t recommend

The staff is very friendly, but the food is not good. The cafeteria back in high school had better chimichangas. If I were you; I’d keep driving to a different restaurant. By the way, I never got a drink refill.
