Ordered a bowl, and server smears a spoon full of beans to cover bottom of bowl, I asked for a little more, have to charge you more, dump some rice and smeared it over the beans, puts a tong full of carnitas, cheese was extra a table spoon of sour cream, table spoon of guacamole. It didn't even come with lettuce, had to pay more for salsa. It didn't even come half way up the container that was 3 inches high 7 to 8 inches long oval shaped. It tasted great but to not give a little extra beans which hardly cost anything and no salsa or cheese have to pay extra. I didn't tip her and wouldn't recommend to go there. And the lose of business just because she was selfish. It would have cost Penny's to make me happy, and their business will suffer lose of dollars. And she didn't get a tip and I'm a good tipper cause I've been a server for more years than she's been alive.

I had a breakfast burrito and it was very delicious. I can't wait for the one in Marina to open.

Best lunch in the peninsula! Best prices in the area, filling, and great quality. Definitely go here !!!

Great and CHEAP burritos. Their tortillas are really good, as are all of their fillings. Plus, they're perfect size for a single meal...none of these 2-meal giant burritos that everyone else has for $15.

My favorite is the chile verde.

BREAKFAST-Food is delicious. Tasty, homemade BUT you must watch ladies because they sometimes handle the food and handle the cash register touch the dollar bills and coins, and do not change their gloves & go back to handling the food. Breakfast is take out only

The best thing about this place is the tortillas. The meat is okay and the sides are okay. The burritos are so small for what you pay (around $8.50). I'm talking like a little bigger than a can of soup! It's difficult to support an establishment that gives so little but asks for the same amount as other options nearby.

The burritos are small but reasonably priced. The tortilla was great but the burrito interior was just fine. Unfortunately they don’t offer anywhere to sit or any complimentary water, which are both major drawbacks.

Still the best burrito I’ve ever had (solely due to the homemade tortilla)

wow. As someone who is made up of 90% tacos and burritos, this place is amazing. This is the freshest, non-oily/greasy, quality burrito I’ve ever had. You can literally see them making the tortillas on the side as you order.

No or limited seating based on when I walked in in the morning but perfect grab and go.
