Great place! Authentic, unique dishes. The main meats/rice are all on display for you to see and choose when u walk in, build your own burrito and they are HUGE!! It takes 2 people to eat them(no lie). Highly recommend :)

★★★★★ 5.0 Angelia Bentley · Feb 2026

A must try. Burrito and quesadilla big enough to feed two. Hot salsa/sauce was great flavor and the right amount of hotness. The rice and meats have a really great flavor. Priced was reasonable for the amount of food you get

Great authentic Mexican food! 3 of us had tacos with a variety of fillings which were all great. 1 of our group had a burrito - it was HUGE - 2 foot diameter tortilla, well over a foot long when filled! Tortillas, both flour & corn, are handmade fresh when you order. Super friendly staff - they let you try a taste of the fillings if you're not sure what you want, which was especially helpful for our kids. Informal style - you order your item & filling at the counter kind of like at a Chipotle, but then sit down & wait while they hand make your tortillas. They bring out chicharrones with toppings while you wait. When your food is ready they call you back to the counter to tell them what toppings to put on it. All in all a great local place that's now added to our "must stop" list when we
