I had a good breakfast burrito from this little place hidden away in a little strip mall in Rolando. I choose the ham, eggs, tater tots, cheese, and sour cream breakfast burrito for $9 and some change. You can switch up the proteins.Like I said, the burrito was good and well filled and quite large, but next time, I will ax the sour cream because it softened up the tater tots. Also, the burrito really didn't need it. The burrito came with a good amount of ham and scrambled eggs. I would have liked more cheese in the burrito, however.I did mention to the owner that the flour tortilla needed more time on the hot griddle, to brown it up a bit and give it that good texture. The red hot sauce that I tried was really good, and so was the service.The place is simple and offers a few tables inside.

Food is alright, the owners are absolutely terrible and rude. Regardless of the food never coming back. Disrespectful.

I visited the place with some friends since I saw that it had 5 stars, so it caught my attention. The place is very small but cozy, honestly the food is truly delicious and the person who served us was extremely friendly, I would definitely return.Parking: Parking is free but only has around 6 spaces.

A hole in the wall with some of the best tasting food! What more can you ask for? The owner wears all of the hats and works his butt off. Definitely support this restaurant and this man, Chipotle chicken sandwich is delicious and nutritious. Can't go wrong with the burgers and fries as well! Check it out!

I haven't had a good burger in a while. I was although very impressed on how delicious and huge this burger was. This is a little hidden mom and pop shop that might have not have enough recognition but I am glad I tried it today! Great customer service and the food was ready in 10 minutes. Cards are accepted at this location which was nice. 10/10 recommend trying it.

The BEST turkey and provolone sandwich. The place is very clean. Our wait staff was so friendly. We were not going to stop because the parking was tough, but so glad we did. Great price and fast.

Wonderful family owned restaurant with wonderful customer service! The Cobb Salad is the only thing I've tried so far but it was AMAZING!! Way different than the average. The bacon & chicken is made to order. I loveee a good loaded salad !! I had this yesterday & I'll probably be back again today for the same thing
