like all the other reviews say the service here sucks( we went on a Sunday) after placing our order of three tacos and one super burrito we waited 40 minutes for our food to arrive at our table. The place wasn't even that busy just don't understand why they take so long to bring your food out. I got a Lengua Burrito with just rice, cheese, sour cream and some lettuce. Not sure if they ran out of lettuce but my burrito had carrots, and purple cabbage in it, I was like maybe it accidentally fell in there, but after almost every bite there were carrots and that purple cabbage in there. They used the lettuce for a mixed salad bag. Who does that? Overall the burrito tasted good, the Lengua was cooked perfectly. A lot of places don't cook it good. I gave 3 stars because the food is good here. Don't think I'll be back though due to the slow service. I can't imagine coming on a weekday when most people only get a 30 min lunch.

Service was horrible. I've heard a lot about this place my husband and I were waiting over 45 for a burrito and 3 tacos. They were giving priority to bigger orders and not saying anything. When I asked a lady how much longer she was very rude. I'd say if you wanted to try it beware of delays. Order with an hour in advance for pick up because there is nowhere to park. How is the food? I'll never know because it might take centuries for me to try it

Used to be a good place. The parking sucks here on a weekday!! The food is OK, better Mexican food elsewhere with more parking. The service is great, the family owned restaurant gives it a must go to, very friendly and great greeting. Small place but just OK.

Love the tacos here and the flavor is amazing. There is street parking on the weekend if you come here earlier. Service is quick.

I am from SoCal, so I tend to compare it to my local restaurants. With that said, it is definitely good but definitely not 45 mins to 1 hr wait for the food. I can get the same @ Pepe in SoCal in 10 mins or less. That would be my only complaint. The food is definitely delicious.If you are in a hurry, you will be disappointed with the long wait. Their asada was really good.Basically no parking except street parking and that was limited.

Gonna have to update my review! The super burrito is SO GOOD and it's good enough to feed 2 people if your appetite is not too big. I can finish about 80% of it until I feel kinda miserable if I'm SUPER hungry I have got both the steak and al pastor. Both meats are cooked to crisp and they put ALOT of meat in yo burrito. They grill the outside of your burrito too :) Salsa bar - the green sauce is my favorite. The pico de gallo is so-so but at least they have it. Free chips are just regular store bought chips, nothing to rave about here, but hey it'll keep you busy while you wait. PARKING - beware there are sometimes parking enforcement who lurk this area so be cautious of where you park and DONT doublepark! It's in a quiet area with lots of autoshops around and parking can be scarce during busy time. Wait time is usually about 15-20 mins for the food bc they cook to order, which I don't mind bc I've seen other taquerias have the meat all heated up and pre-cooked and then it just sits on the grill (not fresh!)

Small place near an industrial/business complex area. Not the most conveniently located place. I didn't see a parking lot but you can find street parking around the area. Came here early on a Sunday morning to try their breakfast burrito and there was no one else so it was quick to order and get my food. It's a pretty big burrito and they also provide a bag of tortilla chips. The burrito is phat. Not the best breakfast burrito ever but it's decent. The burrito was kind of dry and not much flavor to it. Tortilla chips were ok. Not the best and not the worst. But I really liked their salsa bar. They had a good variety of salsas and they also have lime, radish, and carrots available. Breakfast burrito was ok but the portion size was huge with a great salsa bar. I'd come back to try the other items on the menu.

Food is top notch- especially their tacos. Love the variety of meats on the menu. Order early on the phone because you'll be waiting after noontime.
Best shrimp burritos hands down worth the wait always drive from the city any chance I get.

Ok, i grew up in this part of the town so i have swung by to pick up a burrito or a torta on many occasions. When i was a swim teacher i would come here after my shift and pay (at that time) under 15$ for a steak torta or a steak super burrito. Prices have gone up since then but definitely understandable since you are paying for the quality of the food. Yes, the parking SUCKS but this is when you call up your favorite buddy to have someone double park or park in the red across the street while one waits in the car. The service here is always great. I once went had a huge order and i wanted a torta and the cashier mentioned that they didn't t have any that day. I was shocked because i am not sure lol but then said ok another super burrito and she threw in a free agua fresca. Thanks! I also, have been places that have made my torta with a full slab of meat. I once asked the same girl years before if i can get it with "taco meat" I didn't know the correct terminology for "diced meat"? Anyways she smiled and said sure. It was amazing. Definitely worth the hype, just don't get discouraged about the parking situation

Very average burritos. It took 40 minutes for my two orders of burritos to be ready. A repeating customer came about 30 minutes after me placed her order in-person and her food was ready in 10 minutes. A large order of two bags. After waiting a long time staff asked me my order number and said it would be ready soon. When it was ready staff forgot to notify me and I ended up waiting longer. Staff gave me attitude saying he called my number, but when he called out my number his back was facing the front counter so it seemed like he was yelling to staff to prep the order. Parking is not convenient and is all street parking.

I love their Meatless Burritos! BUT there have been less and less whole beans and more lettuce- which disappoints me! When paying 13.00 dollars for a Vegetarian Burrito include more beans - please!

Really tasty food! The burritos and tacos I ordered were all excellent, and they used good quality, well-seasoned meat. Really good salsa too.
