Great Food, Rude Front Staff
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was excellent, especially the horchata, and the service was impressively fast. However, the interaction with the lady at the front was quite unpleasant. She questioned my need for extra napkins and reacted rudely when I asked for a plate, asking "a plate for what? " This made the overall experience less enjoyable despite the good food and quick service.

Horrible Cali Burrito Experience
My experience at this restaurant was quite negative, primarily due to the food. I ordered a cali burrito, and it tasted like old fish. It was a horrible experience. It seems they cook everything together, which likely contributed to the poor taste.

Great Breakfast and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was great. While the place wasn't the most visually appealing or the cleanest, the service was excellent and the breakfast was also fantastic. I really recommend going here! 😃

Terrible Service and Greasy Food
My experience at this restaurant was very bad. The service was terrible, and the tacos were very greasy. If you want pineapple, they charge extra for it. The bathrooms were dirty. They got our order wrong, and we had to pay twice to repeat the order, only for them to get it wrong again.

Delicious Tacos, But Very Slow Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of great food and incredibly slow service. I found the tacos to be delicious, earning a perfect food score. However, the preparation time was exceptionally long, even with no one else waiting. It took 30 minutes to make just four tacos, which was a significant letdown in terms of service speed. Additionally, the restaurant's interior was uncomfortably hot. While the food was excellent, the extremely slow service and hot atmosphere detracted from the overall experience.

Great Food, BYOB Friendly!
My experience at this restaurant was great! The food was fantastic, earning a perfect 5/5. They were very easy going and allowed customers to bring their own drinks, which was a nice touch for dining in. However, the lack of a bathroom was a significant downside : -(.

No bathroom, not a restaurant
My experience at this establishment was that it lacks a bathroom. Because of this, I don't consider it a restaurant; it's more like a street stall. The service received a score of 3, atmosphere a 1, and food a 3.

Disappointing Burrito Experience
My experience at this restaurant was solid mediocre. I ordered a Carne asada burrito, and it was unfortunately majority tortilla with barely any meat. The seasoning was also just 'meh'. I'm bummed out because this spot was highly recommended. Overall, it's just solid meh. I'd suggest saving your money and getting a burrito 🌯 from El Paisa or Cotijas nearby instead.
