“Great Tasting and Huge Servings at a very reasonable price. Will be back definitely. My son loves the shrimp tacos”
— Bekang★★★★★
“Delicious “taco salad “ and friendly staffs at this restaurant. They treated me an additional taco salad because it’s not added any meat in the first one. Thank you so much for your generosity!”
— Cindy★★★★★
“I have only tried their burritos for lunch but i am definitely going back to try their other options. Fast and friendly service. Meat is cooked on grill right outside so you know it is fresh! Homemade tortillas too! Really good food! UPDATE: Tried a mulita and it was so good. The Carne Asada is the best! Grilled fresh in the parking lot on a huge grill! There are 5 salsas to choose from!”
— Kim Flores★★★★★
“Delicious food. Definitely can be 5 stars! We ordered 6 super steak burritos w light rice but I was surprised that there were not much beans and lots of rice in mine. Perhaps this was just an oversight or maybe they were in a hurry? There was a generous serving of meat which is grilled and has a superb flavor worthy of a top notch meal but there were several fatty pieces in mine and my daughter’s burrito. There’s also an open salsa bar with many delicious salsa options. I would definitely come again because the food was really good and perhaps just emphasizing normal portion of beans and light rice will help me clean my plate!”
