This place in any large town would have a 1hr line out the door. I enjoy the chorizo breakfast burrito with a large horchata. But today was lunch and I got the #16 a steak burrito with rice and a mandarin jarrito. It can't be beat.

They are easily my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant! I tend to go on Tuesdays and get their $1.50 beef tacos with rice and beans- everything is delicious and full of high-quality ingredients and flavor! Taco shells and tortilla chips are homemade, perfectly crunchy with a dash of salt. Service is fast, friendly, and efficient! I usually wait no more than a few minutes. Don't forget to add an iced cold horchata!

We lucked out and caught taco Tuesday here. Tacos were $1.50 each. The hard shells were fresh made and soft shells were very tasty. Their salsa was some of the best salsas we had ever tried. Very fresh. Close to the highway, so if you want a snack while traveling, try these guys out. They will beat out any chain fast food garbage you’ll find elsewhere. And you’ll be supporting a local biz, which also feels good.
