I ordered the Chicken Mole Poblano burrito. It was pretty big, filled with a lot of chicken. I would have liked a good balance of the onions and jalapeño, but not complaining about how much chicken was stuffed in this big boy.A McDonald’s meal now costs you $16 bucks, basic fast food vs this. I’d rather support a small business and get some authentic Mexican food. It was juicy, flavorful and the mole sauce was a good balance. The jalapeños and onions added texture and extra spice.I came around 9:30PM, was served a hot burrito within 10 minutes or so. Service was good too, they gave me extra salsa and weren’t stingy. Some places charge you extra like Que? I’d come here again!

While the building looks very Tex-Mex it becomes apparently clear the moment you step in that this place is not. With a beautiful patio to sit and enjoy whatever you like the atmosphere is just as good as the food. I highly recommend anything mole.

I am a mole maniac, and let's just say I left very happy. I will be back!

The food is tasty the only thing is from a worker who sometimes scratches the back of his head and has pimples infections. But it seems that he is of high prestige there, perhaps familiar with the business; That's why they don't ask him to cure that part of his head and neck. It's a shame to demand that you not scratch yourself during your scheduled services or that you put ointment on those funguses on your head, part of your neck, that infection.

It’s never fun spending almost 50 for two burritos, 2 cans of coke and a street taco. It’s even less fun when there’s no cilantro, onions or hot sauce in burritos that come so cold, the cheese inside is still hard and not melted.I think the Bay Area lost its mind when it comes to food value. I went here cause the reviews were good but damn, I feel ripped off. The staff was super nice and great but, come on guys.

Have been here a few times. Food and service is always good. The chicken tortilla soup is delicious, large, hearty and filling.Chips are homemade and fresh.Tried a super burrito with carnitas and it’s a large portion with fresh ingredients.Limited seating inside, but they have a larger heated patio which is comfortable.Parking: A few spots in the back, but not difficult to find street parking on university or side streets.

Al Pastor burrito: if bland could be very anything, I would say that this burrito was very bland. But that might be too exciting of a description for this burrito. So I’ll just have to say it was bland; tasteless indistinguishable mush wrapped in a bland tortilla. No salsa, no chips, no pickled jalapeños, no cilantro, no pico, no cheese, no lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions, and no sour cream (which I ordered). No nada. Win some, lose some. Skip.
