"I recommend the pork taco, it's delicious but I don't recommend the chicken, it's bland and has no flavor. But the beans and rice are tasty. The salad is fresh."

"The ingredients were fresh, which we appreciated, but overall, the burritos felt a bit overpriced for what we received. Ours were served room temperature and a bit on the dry side. The atmosphere is great though!"
