The California Burrito here was way more than enough food and very flavorful, kind of dry, but tasted good none-the-less. The service provided by the waitress was great, drinks, chips, napkins, it was almost like she was telepathic. The Mexican feel of this restaurant is great and I can appreciate that it is woman owned.

Came in with some buddies. We were starving. Withing 2 minutes we had drinks and chips with queso and salsa. Our food was great. We all ordered something different and had our food really quickly. 10/10

Waitress was great and fast but the food tasted microwaved at best and the cheese was melted squares of sandwich cheese. I'm normally a very positive person and I used to love coming here but sadly I will not be
