I came here out of curiosity and saw their breakfast burrito and it looked good. I ordered the same thing and I was not disappointed. It was as good as it looked and it didn't cost much. For $13 it was a great deal. It has Chorizo, cheese, steak, egg, pico de gallo, onions, and they also have avocado salsa. I will come back and try their other stuff and I recommend this place for someone who loves to eat Mexican foods.

Second time coming here and this place still didn't disappoint. I tried their green enchiladas de queso and tacos dorados de papa and everything was super delicious. The place was a little busy but the service was quick. Definitely coming here again! Hefty portions too!
