"I usually get the birria tacos or the el jefe burrito and both are amazing. Today I got a chicken adobo(how many places do you know have adobo???) Burrito and I accidentally ate part of the wrapper but didn't notice because it all still tasted so good. I thought it was just a tough bit of lettuce or cabbage or something. Staff working has always been friendly and accommodating when customizing. 10/10 you should go Edit: read some other reviews and wanted to update. Eaten here maybe a dozen times at this point and never noticed a sweet cinnamon or nutmeg taste(makes me wonder about how some people think cilantro tastes weird maybe?) In the burritos, tacos, or chimitos."

"I ate here last week for the first time. I live near by and have wondered if it was any good. The first time there we tried their burrito. It's similar concept to chipotle but more options and WAY less expensive. Everything was super fresh made, literally as we waited, they were cooking the meat and cutting up avocado. Their prices are great. We went back yesterday for Taco Tuesday which is buy 3 for the price of 2. So for about $12 we got 6 tacos!! It was a heck of a deal. So we went back for more. I've tried the carne asada, their steak option which is like fajita steak, chicken tinga and pork. Everything was DEELICIOUS! I'll be back soon and highly recommend it for fresh, great service and delicious food."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem! Build your quesadilla or burrito however you want. Or enjoy a bowl or plate. I ordered a carnitas quesadilla with pinto beans, and my husband had a carne asada burrito with guacamole, pinto beans, and picco. Both were excellent! Plenty of parking. Accessible access in dining area. Everyone inside was friendly and professional. This is a veteran owned restaurant. I am happy to come back and support them into the future."

"This is an awesome taco/burrito place. It's a mom and pop burrito taco bar with excellent pricing and good size portions. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food is excellent quality. I really enjoyed all the choices for salsa. The habanero is my favorite and just the right amount of spice. We also tried the vegetarian cactus tacos and they were not bad (I'm not a vegetarian). Cactus is a little watery for my taste but we were excited to give it a try and it was good. Coke products in a to go cup! Veteran discounts! Vegetarian options."

"Step into this Tex-Mex Chipotle-style restaurant and get ready to have your taste buds dance with joy! Everything here is made fresh and mostly homemade, ensuring a delicious and authentic experience. I couldn't resist ordering the grilled chicken burrito, and boy, was it a flavor explosion in every bite. It was packed with tender chicken, flavorful toppings, and just the right amount of spice. The owner's daughter deserves a shoutout for her outstanding service. She went above and beyond, allowing me to sample all three of their hot sauces. Let me tell you, choosing a favorite was like trying to pick my favorite child (if I had any). Each sauce had its own unique kick, leaving my taste buds in a frenzy of delight. I stumbled upon this little gem by pure luck, and I'm so glad I did. The combination of being cost-effective and delicious is a rare find these days. I'm already planning my next visit to try more of their mouthwatering dishes. I can't wait to dive into a plate of their enchiladas and explore the wonderful world of flavors they offer. If you're in the mood for some Tex-Mex goodness, look no further. This place is a hidden treasure that deserves to be celebrated. Don't forget to bring your appetite and an adventurous spirit for culinary delights."
