We found this restaurant on TikTok, so we decided to drive 30 mins to check it out on this past Saturday (10/19/24)
We took the food home for dinner.

My wife & daughter had the mini steak burrito. Later on that night my wife started to fill sick throughout the night. My daughter started to fill sick as well, and on the same night my ( 5 year old ) daughter started vomiting and experiencing diarrhea all throughout the night .
My wife started to experience the same similar symptoms as my daughter the very next morning. They both ate the same type of meal , which it was the steak mini burrito.

This is definitely a case of cross contamination and also mishandling of food from this restaurant which is very dangerous . This is unacceptable and to witness my wife and daughter go through these type of suffering symptoms, it definitely has me regretting coming to this restaurant.

To the future customers that’s thinking about coming here for yourself or bringing your family… Please be careful especially with a restaurant that cross contamination or proper handling of food isn’t a priority.

Best burrito I’ve ever had. I got a veggie burrito with no sour cream and no cheese. (Thanks to my lactose intolerance) The beans, rice, peppers and veggies were bursting with so much flavor that I didn’t feel like it was missing anything at all. Sometimes vegetarian food feels like it’s lacking something but that was not the case here. This thing was so satisfying! I don’t eat meat but if the veggie options are this amazing, I can only imagine how good the meat must be also. Prices were very reasonable which is becoming harder and harder to find these days. With food this good and these prices they should have a line out the door and around the block!

Best bang for your buck if you're in the mood for something delicious and authentic. I got the 2 taco (carnitas and al pastor) and pupusa (pork, cheese, and bean) combo with a Jarritos and with the full tip it was just over 20 bucks.

The pupusa tortilla is so flavorful and soft but not to the point where it's overpowering the fillings. The carnitas? The only other time I've had carnitas that juicy was homemade from my roommate. Everything was so good, I'll be coming back all the time.
