This is their “cali burrito.”-$11.03 Consists of rice, steak, beans, and maybe cheese. This is take out but their restaurant doesn’t give off a sit down vibe. Between the price, quality, and combination I do not recommend this place to anyone.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great and has prices that are abnormally high for Mexican/Latin American focused restaurants. I had the ChoriPollo, and the seasoning was pretty good, but the chicken was overcooked. Two friends had a burrito, and I found them to be quite awful, even worse so when price was considered. Rice was baseline and nothing else was particularly impressive. This could be a 4 restaurant if they lowered their prices, but for now, it stays a steady 3.

Me and my husband stopped by there on our way home from vacation. We both were very unhappy. The salsa was watered down and there was no salsa it looked like soup. I said something but the woman brought back the same thing. Not alot of choices on the menu. Most of the time when we go out to eat for mexican im so stuffed and can barely finish my food but not yhis time. My quesadilla was hard and chicken was over cooked and most of all the food wasnt fullfilling. Bad decision on where to eat and im still hungry which never happens after i jus go out to eat. Prices werent too bad.

Hi people. This is a great place for family dinning. I recommend the California burrito, filled with steak and french 🍟 good old sour cream and hot sauce. I also tried the flautas which are rolled crunchy tacos filled with either chicken or steak. They even told me they will make a new plate called Arron con pollo frito, which I would like to try. Thanks again for wonderfully fulfilling service.

Came here today because my family wanted Mexican food. I was suprised that we had to pay for the chips and salsa.. The salsa honestly looks like they opened a can of tomato sauce and dumbed it in a bowl. I dont think it has much flavor either. Im not impressed.

Disappointing service and food. Sauce tasted like it came from a can. Chicken was tough. Ground beer taco was good.

Very tasty and consistent. My wife and I meet here for lunch occasionally and are always happy with the food and service. The price is also good for the quality and quantity of food. In total, we've eaten here dozens of times and have yet to have a complaint.

The woman English is either not good or she's so stuck in her ways that she does what she wants. I ordered a burrito and I was charged for the extra fixings but nothing extra was added to the burrito. The food is good but they never seem to get my order correct. I called in my order and paid over the phone to come in and see my card number is written down on the front counter for anyone to see. they are hit or miss with the burrito. You must be precise in your order and hope the woman does it your way and not her way. I am not eating here anymore.
