I absolutely loved this place. The vegan burrito was everything I ever wanted in a vegan option. Came with some little chips and choice of mild or spicy sauce. I also got a Mexican coke and then I ascended to heaven 👼🏼. Would absolutely recommend! Service was extremely fast and friendly.

Great walk up spot to get some delicious food to go. We got the agua de Jamaica (not too sweet which we like), the jalapeno wet burrito, and a fish taco. All were delicious and we loved the salsas and chips that came with. Service was quick after ordering and it was just around the block from where we were staying. Would absolutely go back.

We had one Super Burrito and one Veggie Burrito! It was very delicious :) The Burritos were huge. The salsa which we got to the Burrito was not spicy at all. But still highly recommend :)

Visiting from out of town, ordered tacos. Lady taking my order asked if i wanted crispy or soft. I asked what she meant, if it was like the tacobell hardshell taco style and she said no. I then assumed the tortilla was just fried in oil and to my surprise when the food came out it was exactly tacobell style hardshell taco. I personally did not like them. Giving the service a low star simply because I think the person taking your order should be able to correctly describe the item. The tortas were okay. Soft tacos okay too. Dont be fooled, those are not soft tacos like tacobell. These are the regulat tacos lol

This place is the best! We ordered the mole, asada, carnitas and quesa birria tacos, so a little bit of everything. Everything was fire 🔥. The meat in every taco was the juiciest, tenderest most succulent and flavorful meat I've ever had, ever. Like I don't want tacos from anywhere else now but here. You seriously need to get in on this.
