This is probably the best Mexican food place I've ever had! The taquitos are so good! I usually never review places, but this place deserves it! My boyfriend loved the enchiladas as well.

Had the Ranchero Breakfast Burrito to start the day. A bit messy but tasty with fried eggs, and I think their huevos rancheros sauce. Beans and rice are also in the burrito. This is not a burrito to eat while driving. I liked that it was served with a small side of chips and their green or red salsa (I preferred the green). They have a covered patio, which was perfect as it was already starting to warm up on a summer morning. They also have seating inside and a drive-through. I would go…

Small place but really good food. We loved it. The food took a little long but we realized it was due to the freshness of the food. My family (6 total) enjoyed everything we ordered. I had the meatball soup and it was really really good. The girl who took our order was nice despite trying to do 5 things at once. She handled it well, and when she brought us our food, she still smiled. Yea, small place but the service was good and the food was great. We will definitely be going back.

I've been coming here since the 80's.. the burritos are very good. I visited yesterday after the remolding, new owner but same food! Rolled back this morning but I was too early they hadn't opened yet. They opened the window and started my meal before opening.. it's politeness and going out of the way that makes a customer keep coming back! Thank you! Chile Verde or a chorizo burrito you can not go wrong! Good food, good service!

I've lived near this place for over 35 years. Finally tried their breakfast burrito and have been going pretty much every day after it has everything you would want in a breakfast burrito that is so hard to find at other places. Definitely recommend the bacon breakfast burrito The service is friendly through the backwards drive-through
