By far the best surf & turf (Mar y Tierra) burrito I’ve ever eaten. The quality of the steak and shrimp along with the freshly made tortilla is unbeatable. Also their churros are phenomenal. I absolutely understand why there is always a line out the door. Will definitely be back … More

The Al Pastor Burrito was delicious. My family also liked the fish tacos and the California burrito. Good atmosphere and plenty of seating. Kid-friendliness: We had our stroller for our baby inside with us.

I had my first fish taco here… I’m incredibly glad I did! The flavors of the tacos you get here are just superb! I got a Quesadilla as well which I thought was the best value on the menu. The portion was well sized and I felt it was money well spent. Once you get your order they have a little bar for toppings and homemade sauces and they all taste fantastic. The churros are also made in house- delicious! Quotes from friends include -“Wow, this is quite possibly the best guacamole i’ve ever had” -“Can we come back here tomorrow… like seriously?” -“This burrito is incredible” -“I could pass away after this taco” The restaurant wasn’t the cleanest but I give it a pass because of the sheer volume of people coming in and out. Clearly this is a local favorite and I can see why. Expect to wait at least 5-10 minutes to order- a bit longer on the weekends. There is indoor and outdoor seating and staff is friendly and busy cooking everything in house! Overall, 10/10 would recommend. I will be ba
