I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt this experience warranted one. I visited this restaurant looking to try some good food, but the first impression completely threw me off. The girl at the front counter was unexpectedly rude. No greeting, visibly annoyed, and generally acted like I was inconveniencing her. Also, the chicken was incredibly bland. Would not recommend.

We get food here every couple of weeks - it’s that good! Even my picky teenager loves their street tacos. Generous portions, quality ingredients and nice people. Highly recommend.

Prices didn't match menu. Little over priced after paying new price

Great lunch spot! You can order ahead online which makes it easy to pick something up on your lunch break. The food is prepared to order so the wait is slightly longer. My vegan burrito was warm, tasty, and filling. Definitely needed the salsa condiment. Be sure to get some before leaving. It's a small place brightly decorated. Next time I don't pack my lunch, I'll be back!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan burritos. They may accommodate other requests. I didn't try.

Many reasons why we would never go back here.

Prices. Compared to other Mexican cuisine places, these guys are kind of a rip off. Their prices to start with are on the higher side. Not just that, when you pay, you'll notice that the rates are higher than listed on the menu. I see other people have complained of this too in the past. And when you ask them, they have all kinds of excuses to justify.

Poor Service. The customer service is very poor. People here aren't most friendly and understanding. They also take too much time to get the food prepared. We were the first person to order when they opened for the day. And still it took a looong time. Place is small (which is fine) but nothing is friendly here. Silverware, you have to ask for (coz there aren't much). Water, they ask questions before giving you any.

Food and money's worth. The food is mediocre. Food taste is average at best. First time I experienced a Mexican place where even for salsa, the lady said that there would be an extra charge.

Excellent place to eat asada tacos, the habanero sauce is the best.
A highly recommended place

ASK FOR A RECIEPT! Twice now, my son has gone to this restaurant, ordered food, paid and then found out later that a gratuity was added after the fact by employees. A receipt is never offered. Sometimes, they don't even offer the screen to select the level of tip you want to provide. The first incident, the takeout order was 17$ and 'no tip' was selected. The credit card charge ended up being more than $21. The 2nd incident was a larger family take out order for $40, and a $10.00 tip was added after he left the restaurant. Whether you agree with the tipping culture or not, the customer should always be in the position to opt in or out - not just have surprise charges after the fact. He confronted the restaurant about it, and they just said there is nothing they can do about it. Business lost.

Worth a second try.

First I did a pick up and was happy to see the place and try the food at home.

It was small and seemed more geared for pick up, or a quick lunch.
