I never thought I would go to a Mexican restaurant in a food court and come across the absolute best chicken and Mexican rice I have ever had. I got barbacoa chicken and steak. All of them were good. However the chicken was fire. Not dry or over cooked....perfect flavors of the rice were phenomenal. I'll be going out or my way to come eat here. Nice job Fernando!

It is located by Drake in a 3 restaurants in one type eatery. Great for the students alike as there are choices. I like their 2 Taco deal, but their chips need to be salted and maybe kept in a warmer environment as they don't take long to get extremely cold. I've seen some swear by their burritos as a daily must have for lunch. I recommend if looking for a quick meal.

Fresh pressed tortillas!!!!! Need I say more? The ingredients, including meat, are freshly made, and you can taste the difference. I definitely would choose this over the competition
