Burrito was burnt and greasy
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I ordered the longanisa burrito, but almost every piece was burnt. The entire burrito tasted like it was made in a rush and with old oil. There were more grilled onions than pork longanisa, and the eggs had no taste. It was just greasy and hardly seasoned.

Flavorful Pacman Fries and Friendly Staff!

Biggest Burrito Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was incredible! I tried the Bacon Wrapped Burrito, which was so massive it took me two whole days to finish. They also added nacho cheese and chips to my tasty dish. It's a must try!

Solid Tacos, Service Lacking Late
My experience at the restaurant involved solid tacos that didn't skimp on the beef and toppings. However, the service and friendliness were on the lower end, though I'll attribute that to it being later at night. The atmosphere was rated a 3, and the food a 4.

Huge Servings, Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was impressed by the best servings I've seen in years. Unlike 99% of other Mexican restaurants where portions are so small a newborn would starve, this place rocks. The servings are huge, and you truly get what you pay for and more. It reminds me of JV's restaurant.

Disappointing Burrito and Rude Service
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I ordered one of their specialty burritos, but it only contained 2 ingredients instead of the promised amount. The burrito itself was essentially just a sack of mediocre meat and dry fries, which was not what I paid for and frankly, kind of gross. Adding to the negative experience, the cashier was rude and did not smile. While I'm usually tolerant, even of some rudeness, the poor quality of the food made it unacceptable.

Missing Longanisa, Just Fries and Egg
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to a significant error in our order. My friends ordered longanisa fries, but when we got home, we discovered it was just fries and egg. We were left wondering, "Where did the longanisa go, man? " This suggests a need for better staff or better hearing to ensure customers receive what they actually order.

Good Food, Service Needs Improvement
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was very good; I had a fajita plate instead of a burrito, and it was fresh, well cooked, and very good tasting. However, the service aspect was less impressive. The cashier seemed to have a difficult customer and escalated the situation by calling a coworker to gossip, which interfered with her ability to help other customers. It felt like she needed a little more training, which is ironic because she did handle the problem customer very well. Overall, the food quality is high, but the service could be more efficient and professional.

Generous Portions, Mixed Filipino Flavors
My experience at this taco shop was marked by its incredibly generous portions, offering Filipino-inspired Mexican dishes at a fair price per weight. One burrito here is easily equivalent to two from a typical taqueria. While the Filipino-inspired options like chopped lumpia, spam, tocino, or longanisa interspersed in burritos were just okay and lacked a distinct Filipino flavor, I'd recommend sticking to the more traditional taqueria options. Unfortunately, there were no adobada options, and the quality of the carne asada and carnitas was sub-par. A major strength is the ability to order ahead online, which is crucial given the parking situation and the extensive customization options available. The hot sauce bar is a plus, featuring free hot carrots and an orange habanero sauce that rivals others. Overall, it's a place where quantity trumps quality, offering big portions for a moderate price.

Huge Portions, Delicious Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was impressed by the huge portions served at a reasonable price, especially compared to other places. They offer lots of different asada fries options, and most importantly, the food was delicious. The service was excellent, rated 5/5, and the atmosphere also received a 5/5. We experienced no wait time and the noise level was moderate. We were a group of 2 people and the price per person was $20–30.
