I love this place. Its so much better than Chipotle & Moe’s. The food tastes authentic/real. Its very reasonable prices. The guacamole is great. They have red & green jalapeño sauce. You can get red peppers & onions, green peppers & onions or both. The bar is very laid back. You can usually catch young people shooting the breeze or watching sports.

I enjoy eating the food from here. It is clean. Food is good. I have done take out and dine in. They have an outside seating area which is nice. They serve alcohol for those who want a beer or cocktail etc. They have trivia night. It is worth trying once and if you don't enjoy it that is up to you if you go back or not. I got the tri tip steak and potatoes which was delicious.
