This is in a location where you can order from other restaurants easily So you can go with friends there and if someone is feeling Mexican food versus Asian food, you can both get what you want! Which is really cool! It’s funny to me that most of the negative reviews for this restaurant are from boomers who never even gave this restaurant a chance simply because it was a kiosk versus a person. Those people should have never even left a review to begin with since they never tried the food or talk to the person who brings out your food. The service and the quality was great!

Wanted to say that this is an amazing place, appreciated the client who ordered via Door Dash and permitted me to share the image (removed CPNI information) of their order and delivery made.

I stoped by at lunchtime to pick up a burrito. I read the reviews on Google and knew that it was a kiosk kind of set up. As a baby boomer I figured it out pretty quickly. I ordered the wet Carnitas burrito and I’ll tell you what, it did not disappoint. The meat was tender just the right ratio of rice and beans. The green sauce on top with the cheese just nailed it!!! All the flavors are right on and it comes with a complementary guacamole some really spicy habanero sauce or if you ask. I will definitely be coming back.

They have some decent taco Tuesday hardshell shredded beef taco with the fixings. The girl at the register recommend the carnitas. I didn’t get a chance to ask my wife how the carne asada was cause she started eating it right away 🙂 the staff is super attentive to everyone especially to elderly. Really nice seeing a staff so on top of their restaurant.

The restaurant is right on the main drag of Balboa Island. Great selection of food. The chips and salsa were really good. The food was great, it tasted very fresh. The view was nice too if you like to people watch or sit in a sunny spot and enjoy the day. #LocalGuides

An interesting and novel idea that was HORRIBLY executed. The Menu was a fraction of what I saw online and the wait time for food was close to an hour. Didn’t bother waiting so cannot comment on the food but for the location, price and “atmosphere” I would not recommend.

Pretty great little spot. We had lunch here and had a great experience. The burrito was giant and filling. Just what you need for touring The California beaches
