Amazing food! Everything was top notch, and very reasonably priced!

Great little simple place, the food was good but the meat taste was a little greasy flavored for me. It was delicious, great service and great atmosphere.

I ordered the chicken tacos, they were great. They had complimentary chips and salsa for dining in! Will be going again :)

I love this place! Great service and great food. Burritos are getting expensive everywhere though, sheesh....

Really great food at a very reasonable price. The service was fast and employees were all very friendly. I will be back and I would definitely recommend the burritos.
