Having been in California for several years, I've gotten used to good Mexican food. This restaurant was a reminder of how truly mediocre someone can make a burrito. While the service was nice, it doesn't make up for the fact that the Char-Broil steak burrito was the physical manifestation of the concept of bland. I would say this food is of a quality you would expect in an overly large cafeteria rather than in a restaurant. It does the job if you're starving but isn't somewhere you want to go for a night out.

Food is always hot and tastes great. Service is always friendly and fast. Great prices on food.Parking: Spots in front can be limited. There is a parking lot directly behind the restaurant. At night its a bit dark back there, so make sure and watch your surroundings when walking to and from the restaurant.

Food was ok 3/5. Service is 2/5 because they stated their internet was not working well, and could accept cash. No one could take Paypal or Venmo, so the waitress suggested I go to the ATM half a block away. I took out $40 in cash, paid the $3 service charge, then returned to the restaurant to pay for my 3 tacos. Only after I paid them did they start making the tacos. I got nothing extra for my troubles of having to withdraw money and paying the $3 surcharge, not even some tortilla chips. I'll go elsewhere whenever I'm in town.

45min+ wait for tacos, 20min wait for 1 horchata and a double shot that was more like a single. Ppl with phone orders took priority over walk-ins and dine ins. The tacos were nothing special, tried it out due to its proximity and amount of traffic. Michael's needs more workers or a hells kitchen visit.

Service isn't as good as it used to be. Takes a long time for drinks to arrive or get a refill. Food is excellent. People are friendly.Vegetarian options: I get the potato taco, add avocado with beans and rice. No cheese.

They were charging 5,00 over 100.00 for using my debit card. I consider it excessive, I have to pay cash. Not

Awesome food, cozy atmosphere for enjoying a meal. I will highly recommend this restaurant!Parking: It's located in a tight spot, parking really close might not be an easy option but if you're willing to walk a bit it's no problem.

Stopped here after a long hike in Pinnacles National Park for a late lunch on a Wednesday. Chips and salsa were good and served almost immediately after we sat down which is great when you're hungry. Drinks came really quickly too. Same benefit. We tried the red chili enchiladas which were good. Their red sauce is very new Mexico legit but with zero heat. Coke served in bottles with cane sugar as expected. Beans and rice were good. Very solid overall nothing to complain about. Great option in a good and safe area.

I don’t know what is going on in this place, the food use to be delicious I even asked the girl at the front desk if they had new management or new owners because the food hasn’t been good lately every time I go I’m hoping that it was just bad that day but I think I’m gonna start going to the one in Marina that one is really good. Lately when I’ve been ordering nachos the chips are very stale and the blackened chicken Tacos are made poorly.
