My favorite place to get carne asada burritos. The food is authentic, way different than Americanized Mexican food. They do a... lot of catering, the staff are happy, and I really want the recipe to the orange salsa. Love this place, a little pricey, butoverall good. Read more
Let me preface this review by saying that I almost didn't even want to write this review because I actually thought there was a... chance that this had to be a fluke. I'm not sure. Take note, I don't think I even have ANY one star reviews in all of my timewriting them on Google Maps. We ordered two burritos, one chicken and one Al pastor. We also ordered one steak taco. I alwayslike to get multiple meat types because every place has different things they do well, but trying the Al pastor is usually mypriority. If that is good, I'm always willing to go back. First: price. About $25 for two burritos before tax and tip. Notcheap, but it's not outrageous either. Willing to pay for quality. As I was eating my burrito, I was at least five bites inbefore I even detected a single bite of meat. I thought to myself that this had to be a mixup. Maybe I had gotten someoneelse's veggie burrito order. My wife, at that moment, also commented that hers had no meat in it. Mind you, she's not even abig meat eater and she was looking confused as to what was going on. I peeled open the burrito and at the VERY END there werejust a couple little pieces of meat. I guess my accidental order switch hypothesis was incorrect. My wife gave up and walkedaway from her food half way through. I tasted the steak (asada) taco. Obviously there was meat, but boy was it bland. I don'teven think there was any flavor at all except the plain taste of beef. For a total of $33 I was royally dissatisfied in a waythat I can't recall ever feeling of almost any Mexican food. Believe me when I say I've had more than my fair share. If therewas some redeeming qualities, I would give it another go, just to be sure, but there's no way I'm risking another $30. I willsay this: the lady behind the counter was super friendly.

This was my first time trying them. The customer service was friendly and my Burrito and Raspberry Cheesecake was good! I will... be back to try other dishes. Read more
Delicious. First time visit. Super friendly staff and they made great recommendations too. We tried the tostada nopilito as an... appetizer. Forgot to take a picture as we dove right in. Also ordered the chicken enchilada verde which had handmade corntortillas. Also the fish tacos with handmade tortillas. Yum!! We also had pork burrito and carne asada tacos but my guys gobbledthose before I could snap a picture. A little pricey but super tasty. They also had great options for vegetarian entrees.Definitely want to return! Read more
I'm still dreaming about those gluten free empanadas! Huge, crispy, and full of flavor, this appetizer is filling! The fresh... potato chips are crunchy and full of flavor. We asked our server for a recommendation, as I didn't want to just get tacos. Sherecommended Huarache with black Angus asada, which was a special. Wow. So much flavor! Not your usual Mexican dish, it hasmushrooms for one! Loved it, the flavors are complex and delicious. Lastly, let me add this spot is super clean and you cantell they take pride in their space. Go! Enjoy! I did also get Mexican wedding cookies, but have not tried them yet, I'll letyou know! Read more
The shrimp burritos are excellent. Fresh ingredients, lots of shrimp, they even grill the outside of the burrito and the home... made chips are amazing. This hidden gem is not to miss. Read more
