Their specialty burritos are out of this world. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is nice and clean.

Green enchiladas are not bad at all! The pastor tacos are top-notch, especially with the oily corn tortillas. The camaron a la diabla is very good and pretty spicy! Would be better if they used homemade flour tortillas for the burritos.

Worst service ever. Waiter cant get an order right even after looking at the menu. Got the wifes order wrong. I had the ribeye Ala Mexicana, came out, wasnt a ribeye to begin with, meat was tough as hell. Well according to the cook who was laughing, apparently the cow was old and tough. The cashier made it right, Ill give her that. Other than that, I wouldnt recommend this place. My daughter didnt want to go for a reason, should of listened.

Really disappointed in these breakfast burritos. Every time I ve driven by in the morning they have a decent line in the drive through so I figured I d give it a try. They had no flavor at all and the potato they used was french fries and they tasted stale. I wish they had given me more salsa because that was the only way I could stand to eat them. The salsa was pretty good. But I won t be back.

Bad experience with the owners sister or wife, very rude, wont greet you the right way she would tell you,I dont have time to say all that. . I ordered beef stew and only got two small peaces of beef. I told her about it and she said, Thats all your getting with a grin on her face. I ordered menudo and all I got was a bowl full of homeny corn and few peaces of stripe. This place is expensive and their food has no authentic Mexican flavor, your waisting your time here...

I ve ate here and had alright experiences the servers are always nice though. But today I called a order for favor and the lady who works the phone and the window is rude and unprofessional. It s one thing to put someone on hold when they call but it s another thing to keep putting me on hold because she is preoccupied with something else interrupting me mid order. I get there and I m met with occasional eye contact by her but ultimately no hello, no I ll be right with you, and no service what s so ever. I only got service when someone else came to the front desk and started doing her job for her. All in all your only as good as your worse employee. I suggest proper training.

The tortillas taste store bought. They didn t listen when I said no cheese. Shredded chicken no flavor. The asado has great flavor but no spice at all. The ground beef and potatoes is something I ve never had before the way they do it is literally ground beef with hand cut French fries. Personally I didn t like it at all. Not even the salsa. It just did it give at all. Coke wasn t good either.

Kind of disappointing because I took a 25 minute ride just to get there, THEN had to take another 25 minute ride back so I can get my money back. You would think they d check what they re sending out. Glad I wasn t in a rush and looked over everything before we ate. We could ve became really sick with the black mold.
