    This was our first visit, the photos enticed us! We ordered chicken tacos and a veggie fajita burrito. At first glance, the food looked AMAZING! The tortilla chips were perfectly salted and their La Famosa salsa? YUMMY! We get home less than 5 mins later and I take the first bite of my veggie fajita burrito. Whilst enjoying the first bite, I looked down to find shredded meat. The restaurant confirmed there was not meat in the burrito. However, if you order a wet burrito, it is a green salsa WITH meat, type of sauce. That NEEDS to be disclosed on the menu when placing an online order. When I called the restaurant, they were open to making a new burrito, but I was completely turned off and declined. Now, for the tacos. My boyfriend said the chicken was overcooked, which it was, and did not taste as good as it looked. The cheese must have been "sweating" in the restaurant as it was clumped on top of the tacos. The lettuce had dark spots and dried from being old. Other than this, the vibe was cool, like a dark Chipotle, TV on a wall and a cooler with drinks. For some reason, there was a weird smell, though. Not a good smell, but a I shouldn't be smelling this in a restaurant, kind of smell. For these reasons, I will probably not return, except for the salsa.

    Very friendly staff. Great for quick bites and takeout as well dining in. Breakfast burritos are great and the kids menu has wonderful cinnamon crisps as an option. 😀 Gets busy in the evenings but the takeout is quick. Beer on tap. No hard liquor.

    WOW!! Couldn't be more impressed if I wanted to be! Went for lunch today and my goodness everything was DELISH!! The bathroom was immaculate and the cleanest I've ever seen, not even a water spot. The seating/dining area was very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff all with smiles. The food was absolutely amazing. The chips are nice and crunchy and tasty. I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything there. The torts are homemade and my goodness I could have eaten so many just as a side order with some salsa! I ordered the taquito trio chicken and it was soooo good. Mom had the al pastor taco lunch and it was also amazing. Anyways, can't recommend it enough.

    OMG! Dropped by tonight and had the most delicious dinner. The staff was friendly, helpful and so patient while we made our selections. Once the food arrived....so good! Very tasty and even had enough to take home for tomorrow's lunch 😋

    First time here and I’m very much impressed! Staff was friendly, rib eye tacos were fantastic, and beer was nice and cold. I like that they have sports on the tv’s while you wait or eat and the salsa is legit spicy. Thank you I’ll be back!!
