Chili Verde Burritos are delicious but the quantity has been cut in half, still hungry and service seems kinda angry

The reviews are true. The barbacoa burritos were excellent. And the green salsa was delicious.

Good place to grab a quick bite. Thanks for the good service!

I came here based on others’ reviews and was not disappointed. I ordered a barbacoa burrito and a carnitas burrito with onions and cilantro and green sauced. Both burritos were delicious, especially the barbacoa. The cashier took my order and was fluent in English, but I suspect many customers are native Spanish speakers. The atmosphere was that of a small Mexican store/restaurant. I felt welcome as a non-Spanish speaking customer. I hope to go back.

The best food, has parking for big truck and trailer

Barbacoa burrito is excellent. The ambiance was like a small town food Mart south of the border. Friendly to us gringos.

Very good food, similar to street vendor food. Get there early as the kitchen closes at 7 p.m.
