I used to be a frequent visitor, but not so much anymore. Great food, decent prices. Very friendly staff, but I stopped tipping when I realized that, except for the bar, the tables and chairs are *never* wiped down, even when it’s slow. I’m tired of always having to either clean up or sit down in the last customer’s mess. It makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Yuck

This place always hits the spot!! They’re fast, but so much better than your typical “fast food” joint. Everything is always fresh, the staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable.. and best of all, the food is SO good! So many topping options and the space indoor/out and drinks (great margs!) level it up even more! This is our go-to local spot

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. The place is never packed but never empty. The staff is super friendly humble kind. They have an outdoor seating...
