★★★★★ 5.0 Keke Roberts · May 2025

The food is absolutely amazing! They are open late and I doordash here all the time. Today, I have the number 20 plate, the Chimichanga, with carne asada "steak." You have the choice of other meats as well. The staff are so nice, and you get your order quickly! I have been here many times, and the Latina in me loves ❤️ it!

I love this place, and I eat here more than I care to admit. But the last few times I've ordered they "super fry", the fries are just plain raw. Held in the fryer long enough to get hot, but raw. I don't mind waiting for them to be cooked. That's what I'm paying for. When I'm the only one at the drive through, and there is no one in the parking lot, it shouldn't be hurried out the window. I tip at the window because everyone is always so nice. But It's been happening so often that I had to change my review.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tynesha Haynes · Dec 2025

Came for lunch today because I was craving a rice bowl. And it was the worst one I’ve ever had. All the meat was extra dry. The shrimp was way overcooked. They didn’t put queso sauce on the food. It was just not good at all. Stay away from this one and head out West if you want something fresh.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lisa Par · Mar 2024

The food is good but very greasy. I came here with two friends who ordered burritos and I myself ordered a carne asada quesadilla. Both foods were very greasy, got oil drops on our clothes and made our hands greasy. However, I will say the food tasted very good and I gladly finished my side of fries. Also, you get a really big serving for what you pay which if very worth it. Overall, 8.9/10 recommend, only watch out for grease
