★★★★☆ 4.0 Kimberly Siersdale · Aug 2025

Ashley greeted us with a bright smile and a warm, inviting demeanor as she took our order. She offered insightful recommendations on their delicious bowls and enthusiastically shared that Tuesday nights are dedicated to Taco Tuesdays, which added to our excitement. In the photos, you can see Stacy, the attentive manager, personally delivering our food. It was clear that we were in good hands; her professionalism shone through every interaction as she ensured everything was just right for us. The prices at this establishment are remarkably reasonable, and the portions are generously sized. We were particularly impressed by the array of different sauces available for the bowls and tacos, each offering a delightful burst of flavor that complemented our meals perfectly.

People are nice, the food is great. My burrito was huge and tasted pretty good. My only issue and it's not a big one is that their choice of multicolor lights inside makes my food look funny. I'd come back during the daytime though.

1st & last visit. I've only been to this one location (maybe other locations are better?). I describe their food as typical, American fake-Mexican styled fast food. In concept, it is a step above Taco Bell that wishes it could be Chipotle, but just doesn't deliver. ORDERING: Ordered online and given 14min pickup time. Arrived a few mins early and announced presence. Watched as 6 groups came in, ordered at counter, got food, and left. Checked on my order and was told in progress. Got order 25 minutes after the 14min time. SERVICE: Had a dull experience with a middle aged female employee whose demeanor, hygiene, and low kemptness made it apparent she hates her life, job, and people. SAUCES: Was grossed out by the dirty sauce bar. Dirty nozzles with caked on dried drips; Mess all around; Even

Wow, I’m blown away by their customer service!! You’ve earned 3 new loyal customers! Thanks to Melanie and Paul! Best chips ever too!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Cassie Friedman · Jan 2026

I don't know what it is but every single time I order from this location, something is wrong. Missing a queso. Missing chips. Missing the drink. Ingredients that should not be on the order are on the order. Today it was the side of curdled queso and the cheese on my order (which was ordered with no cheese, no sour cream) that was my last straw and I had to leave a comment. I'm so bummed about this restaurant and the lack of checking orders before they are delivered, and checking the order ticket before making the product. I don't know if this a corporate issue, or a management issue, but it's certainly an issue.
