I love this place, I've been trying different restaurants in California and so far this is my favourite, fast service, good atmosphere and variety of salads. I'll miss the food back in the UK

May 2025

The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super friendly, not the fake it's my job friendly, but the kind that makes you feel like family. The food is beyond amazing. It looks just like the commercial, which is what drew my mom, cousin, and I here, and the flavors are astounding! I had the 3 pieces with rice and corn and the flour tortilla, and I could have eaten two more plates of it. The food is authentic and fresh. Whether single or with a family, you will definitely...
