Delicious Burrito, Quick Service!
My experience at this restaurant was great. I ordered the bean and cheese burrito, which was absolutely delicious. I used the drive-through, and the staff member was polite when asking about sauce. The order was ready quickly. I'm definitely planning on returning.

Delicious Tacos and Great Salsa Bar!
My experience at this restaurant was very positive, especially for their Taco Tuesday special. I tried the carnitas, asada, adobada, and cabeza tacos, and found them all to be delicious, served on warm tortillas. The salsa bar was a standout, offering more than just a few options – I counted about six, along with pickled onions and hot carrots. Overall, it was a very good first impression, and I will definitely be back. The convenient location right off the freeway is a plus.

Awesome Employee and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, largely due to the exceptional service. When Mom didn't have change and the register was also out, the cook came out of pocket to provide us with our change. This act of kindness highlighted what an awesome employee and atmosphere the restaurant has. Additionally, the lady up front was very nice.

Great Burritos and Tacos!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially with their california burrito and street tacos. I love their green salsa. We use their drive-in every week because it's so quick. The food is excellent, and the service is efficient.

Legit Mexican Food - Sets Itself Apart!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The Mexican food here is truly legit, setting itself apart from other places. I was particularly impressed with their surf and turf fries, which were amazing! I really hope they don't close down.

Delicious Food, Great Experience!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I absolutely love their food. The carnitas tacos were yummy, and the chips with cheese/guac were also a hit, especially with extra cheese and guac 👍. The cheese enchiladas were awesome👍. I've honestly never had anything that wasn't yummy. The food is a definite 5/5, and the service and atmosphere were also rated a 5/5.

Best Burritos in PQ!
My experience at this restaurant was surprisingly good, especially considering it's a fast-food establishment. The burritos were so good that I can't believe I'm saying this about a fast-food joint. It's now my favorite Mexican food in PQ! 😂 The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect 5/5 rating.

Good food, but service needs improvement
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was good, and the price was also good. However, the cashier seemed tired, which made her appear rude. This impacted the overall service experience.

Quick Drive-Thru with a Kid-Friendly Touch
My experience at this restaurant was through the drive-thru. The food was ready very quick. They also thoughtfully provided a kids cup for my daughter without an extra charge.

Delicious Burritos and Hot Carrots!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I absolutely loved their carne asada burrito; the burritos are big and they certainly don't mess around! 🤤 The service was great, and the hot carrots are to die for – they are always perfectly soft! The girls running the front are always sweet 💕❤️.
