I've been here a few times for dining in, it can be a busy place, but the food is always good, people are always nice, and the place is clean. This morning I had an online order for pickup and it wasn't ready. They jumped on it and knocked out about 18 burritos in 10 minutes. When they brought the order out, I realized it wasn't mine because I tried to order 15 burritos online but the pickup time wouldn't work for my event so only ordered two burritos. Turns out, I had ordered from the burrito shop, not the restaurant. The owner said the other place was his brothers and gave me the burritos I ordered anyway. He even gave me his cell number so I could text him with large orders in the future. I really appreciated how they handled my mistake. Great way to do business!

At first the person taking our order was very rude. She then came to bring our appetizer and was completely different. The vibe and music was awesome. The food was delicious ????. Restrooms can use some deep cleaning but other than that, I would highly recommend to anyone.
