"The burrito I got was amazing and very quickly made with very fresh ingredients that I was blessed to pick out myself. My girlfriend got chicken tacos that I also tried and they were just as good. It's authentic! This is not like a chain restaurant."

"I can't find the company on Glassdoor, so I figured I would post here. I am an ex-employee of this place. It is worth noting that I am currently a student, and taking this job was a way for me to afford rent. Needless to say, as a student, I can have pretty wonky schedules, which can require me to need to have time off every once in a while. I let them know of this in advance of me being hired, and they said that it was fine. However, the last few weeks, I have either been scheduled for one day, or no days. Again, I need this job to pay for rent. I contacted one of the owners, to no response. Called, no response. It has been two weeks since my last shift, and even then that shift was only a couple hours long. I can tell by their ghosting attitude they have shown that they are unprofessional when it comes to treating their employees right. I could go into a nice, long rant about how wrongly they treated me, but that is for another day."

"Burrito is worth it. Fresh ingredients and tortilla is fresh made. A great place to eat over chain restaurants. Def recommend going here to get lunch or a solid burrito. Excellent service. They have restroom too."

"I really liked this place ever since I settled in Iowa City: they offer a great quantity of food with good taste and price. After having a long day, my husband and I missed the burritos. We picked up food (one Iowan for me and another with chicken for my husband) and took it home. You can feel my joy from my first photo - the size of my burrito (the Iowan). Everything was great until I chewed a nail in the burrito. This is way beyond my imagination. I felt so disgusting. I could not eat anything further and kept vomiting all night. One of my teeth hurts because I bit the nail hard. Nobody wants to pay for food that can jeopardize him/her, even for free or even being paid! The scariest thing is what if I swallowed this nail? What if there were two nails and I have already swallowed one? I am visiting the hospital today. Last night, I tried to write and explain this using their website "contact" but the system never allows me to press the "submit" button. So I decided to write this review here."
