“Stopped by for breakfast today. The lady behind the counter was so nice and extremely helpful. She was very attentive and patient which made my first visit very welcoming. The burritos were huge and they did not skimp on anything. The horchata was delicious and very well balanced. It was cold but not watered down like a lot of other places. They have a little cold bar with various toppings salsas, fresh made hot sauces, radishes, lime, jalapeños, cucumbers, and you get warmed chips too. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“It’s a pretty generic Mexican restaurant. I appreciate the music isn’t as loud here as it is at some places, but as a blind customer, I had the usual issues with no accessible menu and regretting my Spanish wasn’t good enough to make up for my inability to See the weight staff trying to make eye contact with me to indicate it’s my turn to place my order. The food is good, the staff are polite, the place was clean, there’s just nothing special about it. My husband would insist I put in a good word about their salsa, though. He says it’s his favorite restaurant salsa.“

“I go here a bit too often. The staff is usually very kind and efficient. However, one time they had a trailer who wasn't listening very well and I had to repeat my requests a few times and she filled the quesadillas weird. I think she was a trainee and I've not seen her since. I just wish honey chipotle chocken will rewritten again someday...“
