Their salsas are full flavor and strong, the rice in the beans maybe lacking salt (to make sense of the reviews about bland taste) but otherwise, there is good amount of flavor in dishes I tried. The chicken in the burrito however was also again dry and bland, in teeny tiny bits. The birria meat was also still tough, chewy but did have a nice flavor.
The part Where it gets disappointing a bit (or how they need to make their money I suppose) is pricing on non-alcoholic...

A step up from the chain Mexican restaurants and a whole different universe from Mexican fast food. The food was excellent. It was my first time there, but it won't be my last.
