Good ambient place with good Mexican food with good portion size.

Cute spot... however first impressionswas the front door slamming behind me louder than the music. Fountain drinks were flat or out, chips were almost soft with very little crunch-stale. Not great service and limited replacement options. 6$ credit card thick cheese dilla. Chimichangas were banging, so was the burrito. Just goto chipotle for consistency and somehow better overall quality.

Great Nachos, nice ambience.

I have only tried their burrito bowl and highly recommend it. Their portion size is enormous. They have a good choice of veggies and meat. Service is quick and they have ample seating.

So good

Most employees working here are always quite confused due to the language barrier, in turn, that sometimes results them in making frantic mistakes.

I placed a pick up order for 2 grilled chicken quesadillas… $20 later i get The SMALLEST quesadillas I have ever seen… for crying out loud my bag of chip’s weighed more than the 2 quesadillas that are $8 each. This is my first and last time going to this restaurant.

I get this is a college town where kids are used to burritos leaking all over hell and being apathetic, but wow, these were the least interested employees I've ever seen. My burrito leaked all over, but instead of rewrapping it, they just put on another layer of foil, making three layers of leaky burrito instead of two. Food was fine, but the service was a big turnoff.

I got a burrito bowl and the portions are very small. For $10 you are not getting much. The flavor was alright but not anything you can’t get from those spice packs you get from Walmart. Atmosphere was not one I wanted to be at nor did it feel “Mexican.” If it had any Spanish elements it was a scorpion. Atleast Yallah has better decoration and seating. Plus they have better workers. I’m definitely not going back as I would rather go to Lupitas or Yallah. Plus their cleanliness is questionable.

Not a bad, Chipotle style Mexican restaurant. I had a Steak Mexican Bowl. The portion was enormous. There were plenty of fresh ingredients to choose from, including corn, jalepeno peppers, cheese, black beans, rice, and lettuce. Unfortunately, the steak was dry and tasteless. The order came quickly, and the service was very friendly. The restaurant was clean and spacious. A very good, but not great place for Mexican food.

Amazing food, if you’re hungry and looking for a good bite this is a good bang for a buck. Get a bowl with a tortilla on the side and it can easily be 2 small meals or 1 hugeee meal. Went here after a long day of moving my sister into college and didn’t disappoint. Go back every single time I’m there! Lots of vegetarian options. You can get their super tasty guac and creamy queso for free!

Service is nice and friendly

I appreciated all the fun hot sauces to try out.
