Machaca and egg burrito, add cheese…so good, but definitely messy so eat over your tray. Need a to-go burrito? Try the steak and egg.

I ordered 10 burritos. They were ready within 10 minutes. They were hot, delicious, and the order was correctly filled.

All Organic, Authentic Mexican Greatness!! Our favorite stop after Gem n' Jam for some actual grub. FANTASTIC!!!

More than just a place where my husband got his drunk food in college - actually pretty decent! I got the carne asada quesadilla and it was enormous! My husband got a chorizo breakfast burrito, a carne asada breakfast burrito and a California burrito. We also got a churro. It was really good! Great service. When you pull up, don’t judge a book by its cover, very good!
