“ Pretty good Mexican food. Salsa bar is great and has quite a few choices. The asada was really good, but the beans were a little wet, I would do without them next time. Burritos 11$ tacos 3$ but good size. Drinks are a little pricy 2.50 for a can, 4 for a bottle. I'd definitely come again. The seating is limited, and the parking is awful, so I'd try to park on Lassen. ”
“ I stopped by here after working, it was 20 minutes to closing and I was worried I was coming in too late. The staff were so nice and helpful! They even told me I could sit down and eat inside even though they were closing. The food was delicious! I think this may be the best burrito in the area. Also their horchata is the best I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back. Give them a try! ”

“ The best. I have been coming here for a long time. The staff is so nice and serves you at the table. I’ve never had a bad experience. Their torta is the best. ”
“ I had such a great experience here. My boyfriend and I ordered a burrito to share since they’re pretty big. Without us even asking, they offered to cut it in half and went above and beyond by plating it on two separate plates with our own sides. It was such a small but thoughtful touch that made us feel really taken care of. Service like that really stands out. Definitely coming back. Good food and even better service. ”
