Excellent burritos and service! If you like spicy, ask for the extra hot red sauce. ...

This restaurant is one of the few that serve cochinita pibil and huitlacoche. I always swing by when I'm in the area. And kudos to Jorge for always being so gracious! Pro tip: Ask for their habanero hot sauce!

We always love coming to this place. Food is delicious and the owners are really nice. Outside seating. They still wear masks but not required at the customers. Our dog, Loverboy also likes to visit the outside seating.

We were so lucky to find this place. Traveling from Seattle, we stopped for dinner and had the best food and service I've had!! The Nachos were to die for. The big burrito with the green creamy sauce was amazing! They also let us sit on the porch with our dogs and even brought them water. I just can't say enough good things. Good prices too!!!!!
