"Really good food very friendly staff. Service can be so so sometimes. Servers speak little English. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick and tasty lunch. Salsa can be pretty spicy."
"Ordered online and it was ready in 15 minutes! Loved the green salsa but the red one was gross. Food was a solid 8/10 I went during lunch hours and for the price ($13)you cant beat that! Milanesa was nice and tender with a nicely seasoned breading. Beans were delicious and the rice wasn’t hard or soggy. French fries were good too! UPDATE- their website no longer allows you to order online and they stopped offering this special after 1pm… If yours paying full price for this youre getting ripped off"
"I purchased a burrito and vegetable dish for my wife and I, who is a vegetarian. We've been occasional patrons of this establishment for about three years without any negative experiences until last week. Unfortunately, the food caused my wife to become severely ill, leading to profuse vomiting throughout the night. It seems the food may have been old or improperly stored, resulting in spoilage. Despite this, the restaurant still cooked and sold it to us. This incident has made me question their commitment to customer well-being and the quality of the food they serve. Regrettably, we have decided not to return. It's advisable to exercise caution when dining there, as the food might be old or spoiled."
"Casual Mexican restaurant with delicious food and large portions. Our family has eaten there several times and the food has been great consistently. The guacamole with the flautas and the avocado with the burrito is included in the price. I consider this a big plus since most restaurants charge extra for it."
"Great find for fast lunch. Prices are ok. Food is fabulous fresh and made to order I will be back for more"
