Yesterday, I had chiliquiles and it was absolutely delicious. It was new added to the menu and $13, which was well worth it because I had leftovers for lunch. The customer service is great. I was aware that I ordered something that makes some time to prepare....it's actually my pet peeve when people try to rush out an order and something, usually potatoes, are undercooked. The staff was amazing and was checking in with us every minute or two, asking if we wanted extra napkins or what type of salsa. My daughter has a potato breakfast burrito and she was impressed, as well. It was huge. She took her leftovers home, as well.

Friendly people service was fast I got there around 3pm there were just a few people eating inside Overall it was good

A great local spot for some Mexican cuisine. A large selection to order. The staff is very friendly and helpful on my selection. Ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hefty. Most importantly it is at a great price. The spot is big enough for a large party. Definitely bring your friends and family to enjoy their cuisine.

Great first time experience, Tried their daily special and Machaca plate, food tasted fresh and good service was nice salsa bar was ok salsas were little watery. Machaca plate came with massive flour tortilla that i loved. Will return
