He was so helpful to my husband while ordering and he came to our table to get to know us! He even treated us to a new dish that was like a fried taco with beef and potatoes. Amazing! 10:10 highly recommend“

“Went to pick up a friend and we were looking for a late night place to grab food. He noticed the 24 hour sign and so we made a U-turn and headed into the drive-thru. Drive-thru is a little slow. I commented to my friend, "this place has to be awesome for the wait to be this long..." and... it was awesome. ordered the carne asada burrito and my friend ordered the carnitas burrito and an asada taco. so, the wait in the drive-thru was WORTH it. really big portions. actually eating the other half of my burrito right now and it still tastes great even after having been sitting in my fridge overnight and then nuked in the microwave. definitely will be back. next time though, i think going inside will be the plan.“

“Yesenia was super helpful and patient with me to retrieve my 4 digit code for the kiosk. My favorite go to order is a Crunch wrap supreme, swap the chicken for steak, no tomatoes, add pico de gallo, add avocado ranch, add green cabbage, order a side of sour cream, (once you have the sour cream mix the diablo sauce with it and spoon some on your crunch wrap supreme and take a bite 👌🏻) I also love the peach mango 🍑 🥭 agua fresca! What is your go to order!¿ Next time I am excited to try their Chicken Cantina bowl and their mexican pizza. 🥰“
