First time visiting this shop, super impressed! The store felt clean and tidy, and my food was fabulous. Combination platter with chicken Tinga and Barbacoa - enough for three meals!
January 2026
Good sized portions! The carnitas burrito and hard shell taco were really good. The asada and carnitas torta was very salty and had some chewy pieces. Fries were overly salty too. I could only eat a couple bites of the sandwich and fries.

Casual, take out with table seating if you prefer.
My friend lives near this place. I have to stop in for a burrito if I'm anywhere near there.
The burritos are great, you won't be disappointed.
