I've gone here a couple of times because of it's closeness to the college. The place looks nice, service is good, people are friendly, and you get good, well priced food Fast. By thr time I was done eating, I'd only been there 20 minutes.

Good food, absurd speed, good place!

We have eaten here before but we were very disappointed this time. Food was just so so and the salsa was not good at all. The service was slow and not very friendly. Probably won't be going back there again.
