Food was great, only small complaint is that I ordered their Special Cerrito Burrito and although it was delicious it was not hot when it arrived to our table. My burrito was kinda cold. Definitely not hot, not even warm. Other then that atmosphere was great, service was good. The restaurant was clean and we will come back.

Food was amazingly delicious. The seasoning on the carne asada was very flavorful. The staff was friendly. The only complaint was that the floor was very sticky everywhere you walked. Otherwise it was a lovely dining experience.

My wife and I love this place. They have great food and a great environment, but most importantly, great service. The prices are very affordable. They greet with a smile and, of course, fresh hot chips and salsa.
