I really don’t know where to start. The waitress forgot my order 6 seconds after I ordered. She brought the wrong drinks because “the kitchen is too busy”, they put pineapple in burritos, the manager is “too busy” when there’s 5 people in the restaurant, they can’t split a check 2 ways, the rice tasted like instant rice…. Just please, don’t do do it, people.

I'm not sure if maybe the store changed owners or if they just updated the shop, the menu looks different now. I used to come here a lot like 4-5 years ago. Was back in town and excited to stop by but was sadly a bit disappointed by the food.
First, guac and chips is $11, but it is just a tray of chips with a TINY cup of guac. Literally 3 chips worth of guac. You can see the picture. This was really terrible. The description on the menu was "avocado, jalapeno, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice. Served with tortillas and chips." That makes it sound like it's a proper serving of guac, served with chips. In actuality it's chips served with a tiny cup of guac. Definitely do not get this. Absolute waste of money. $11 is a ridiculous price for what you actually get. The guac itself was ok, not bad but not great.
Second, the prices on the menu are wrong. I ordered tiramisu which was 3.99 on the menu but rang up at 5.99.
Third, the burritos were ok but not quite the same quality that they used to be. Meat was dry and tough, rice was mushy.
Overall, I was disappointed. Burritos by themselves are 3-3.5 stars, but rounded down to 2 stars for tiny guac and misleading prices.
Very good food and great service! My family plans to come back soon

Honestly, as a Mexican, I apologize to the people who buy food here, they should serve quality food, buy food that tastes like soap, I hope they take this comment into account and improve their service.

Very good food. No wine. They just opened so I'm sure things will sort out soon. Friendly, kind waitress. They will make separate checks.
