Great vibe and inside decor. You can tell there was attention to detail. Had a shredded pork burrito and onion rings. The onion rings are huge and delicious. The burrito was really good with added guacamole. They have a variety of frozen drinks. Cool local spot. Will be back for their breakfastbrunch menu which looks great.

Food came out screaming hot and everything tasted really fresh. Burrito is huge and filled with amazing fried chicken and super flavorful rice, beans, and sauces. Will be coming back to try the fish and carnitas burritos.
