Good food, clean dining, and I like that you can see a clean prep space. I had tacos Al pastor and a vampiro. Good salsa. Also good horchata, made with the good cinnamon, not chalky candy stuff.

The food here is amazing! I love the authentic smokey tastes to their carne asada. What I don’t like is the customer service. I called their phone for 10 min straight to place an order ahead of time only to be sent to voicemail with the person on the other line listening to me leave a voicemail instead of simply just picking up the phone. I decided to drive over to the spot meanwhile I waited for someone to pick up the phone. Finally, after 10 min of ringing and multiple attempts to reach them, a lady picks up the phone with an attitude but I ignore the attitude and place my order. I then proceed to ask for no sour cream in which she argued with me that they don’t add sour cream to my specific order but then realizes she’s wrong so she agrees to taking out the sour cream. Keep in mind I’m parked in the parking lot while she is talking to me now and wonder why she would not pick up the phone because the restaurant was completely empty other than one other customer eating their food. Finally as I go inside the restaurant, I let the cashier know I was the phone order. She immediately reverts back to the attitude she gave me on the phone and honestly seemed like a bigot loud mouth type of person which I dislike. Great food with poor customer service really deters people from eating at a restaurant. They need to either train this employee (older lady with glasses)on proper customer service skills or fire her and bring back the last cashier which was a well mannered composed young lady that was happy to serve customers.

If you’re looking for a burrito de cebolla con poquito carne, this place is it… The horchata is chalky too. I understand that the price of ingredients have increased but let the price increase reflect the quantity/quality of meat and drinks that are being served! Too too much onion in the regular burritos! Service was good. Atmosphere was nice.

This place is unbelievable I had placed an order through doordash and I forgot to add salsa, so when I told my dashed to grab me some the lady who was working tonight told him no because it wasn’t on the receipt. Which it was super shocking to me because usually the salsa there is free when you dine in. Never again will I order from here again

Use to be the best burritos, too bad NOT anymore. They are more like a taco in a huge flour tortilla with a cold beans and tortilla. How disappointmenting and for the price is a shame. Is not about the price, but this place is getting careless about keeping regular clients.I will not go this place no more for sure.
