"Wonderful service and generous portions of great Mexican cuisine. Third time here. First time I remembered to review. Carnitas chimis are pictured. They are open 24 hours and offer complimentary chips and salsa bar. Cheers Jeff"
"After coworkers telling myself about the wonderful food of this establishment, I tried it out this weekend. First off its open 24hrs. Drive thru Only available after regular business hours. I first went Saturday. Ordered a breakfast Egg burrito at Noon. All food items available 24/7. Delicious. A side bar available with salsa's, pico de gallo, radish, carrots. Ordered their Menudo to take home for later. They don't have Hominy in theirs but that's ok, I bought some and added it in. They did give chopped white onion, cilantro and lime. The broth was delicious. And included a beef foot. Menudo is not a dish everyone enjoys. From what I understand bc of the ingredients. Cow tripe(stomach) there are different types; feet of cow or pigs feet. But for those that do, they understand the recipe is time consuming. If it is made well quite delicious. I did order a regular beef burrito last night through the drive thru. Huge and yummy. I could only eat half. They offered salsa with it. I'd highly recommend this place."
"A lot to like about this place. I went through the drive-up......the microphone and speaker system was flawless....(a welcome change from many other restaurants), the person taking my order was easy to understand. The food itself was authentic in flavor, was hot, smelled great and was a generous portion . Plus....the drive-up is open 24 hours!! And......24 hour breakfast!!! We'll definitely be back."
"Seriously good food you'd have to drive south 300 miles to find the Carne Asada Burrito made with nothing but steak, pico, and guacamole. Everywhere else very little steak and all rice and beans, they don't cheat you of a real Carne Asada Burrito."
"I'm a walking garbage disposal that ate and actually enjoyed military food from my service days, so when I say the following, I mean it! One of the worst Mexican food restaurants we have ever eaten at. Overly expensive for small portions, orders with missing paid for extra items, and hazardous food. The street tacos are tiny, barely filled (half the amount pictured in menu online) and way over priced, the burritos are a travesty of slop with careless globs of ingredients not layered in and bad flavors, and the rice is just BAD. I mean, how do you screw up rice??? They scammed me with the menudo as well as could have caused a medical situation due to it. My menudo has a giant inedible joint bone in it almost the size of a baseball so they tricked me on portion size. The soup also has SHARP chips of bone in it that I could have choked on. I caught it last second and choked and spit it out! I've gone to various qualities of restaurants that have better menudo with more in it and larger portions at half this price! The combo plate was horrible and twice the price it should have been. I'll be going back to talk to the manager tomorrow, which will be a first in my life. It was that bad. Also, for some reason they required running my credit card a second time AFTER giving me my order receipt. I will be watching my credit card account. So I am editing this review minutes later as I just checked my credit card account and they charged me the whole bill TWICE!"
