Listen to me!!!!! The burgers are 1/4 lb. The fries come in a box. An order of large onion rings can feed 4 adults. I have never finished a meal here unless I bought 1 taco. The chicken soft taco has humongous chunks of grilled chicken breast. 2 tacos is a lot of food!!!!!!! Food quality (freshness and taste) gets an A+++++++

Food was really good but very salty so if your salt intake needs to be limited I wouldn't eat here. The Pistachio water is soooooo GOOD!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!! The tortillas at this place are really thick so a heads up on that.

Wow, so glad I found this place. First timer here, tried the pastrami with onion rings because... why not? Those onion rings are magical! Crispy and delicious! The pastrami was packed full of meat but so much flavor in the combination of bread and meat. Couldn't finish it, kinda felt like a failure but everyone has off days. … More
