Nothing short of excellent! I was in the mood for a burrito last night after work and I stumbled upon this beautiful hole in the wall! The esthetic was warm and inviting! Definitely a good spot for date night! Dim lighting to set the mood right plus awesome food and drinks. The best part about it was the check! I went on my own and spent less than 25 bucks. Haab burrito with the Christmas sauce (red plus green)

Came in last week for dinner with my girlfriend, for her first time, my first in awhile though it's close by. Was pleasantly surprised between what appeared to an expanded selection meat, fish and vegan options. And everything we got tasting so good. Definitely plan to come back again real soon.
April 23 · Matthew Ciabattari
Really cool spot! Delicious enormous salmon burrito was full of flavor and cooked well. Even as takeout it was fresh and quality.Character and decor of the interior is colorful and well done. Recommend but note well you will probably get your hands messy eating the enormous burritos.
March 07 · Brendan Rogers
Really happy to see this spot doing a great selection of vegan options, however, the time I went I wasn’t impressed by what I had. Portion size of the nachos were really small, and the tacos I had tasted a little stale. The lime that came with my tacos was also clearly defrosted, because when I squeezed it no juice came out. Not as fresh as Mexican food should be.Was an okay meal but was expecting more. Maybe a one-off as others seem to love it. Great service on the other hand!
October 08 · Lewis Cornwall
A casual hidden gem for an authentic Mexican food experience! Came in for lunch and was so pleased. The portions are generous and the service is super friendly.We had the Carnitas Burrito and three different tacos (baja fish, grilled steak, al pastor) which were amazing. They stood out so much from the tacos that I've had at other places. The burrito also was one of the juiciest burritos i've ever tasted! Thank you for such high quality food.
