I was in the area for work and wanted check this place out. I know that this place is more of a day program for either neuro divergent or developmentally disabled young adults rather than a straightforward restaurant. The food experience was two stars at best however Ive added an extra star because of what they do. I got takeout. FYI the food is super inauthentic. Chicken Burrito Bowl - the chicken had decent flavor but zero spice, was cooked fresh and cooked perfectly. The pico was practically all onion though. Needed way more tomato but cilantro and lime proportions were good. Ground Beef Tacos - ground beef was a bit greasy and the crunch taco shell was stale. The crunchy taco shells are Old El Paso.. the boxes are in the kitchen. There's no spice heat in the food. They had no hot sauce available (?!?). They also had no guac the day i was there which is like 35% of the burrito bowl experience. Soo yeah, the experience definitely leans toward the negative. Its balanced out by what they are doing as a day program and the fact that there isn't an alternative option nearby.

Went with a chicken burrito. It was just ok. Chicken was bland. Wouldn't be surprised if the rice came from a box and the beans came from a can. Price was good for the size of the burrito. Not very flavorful. Probably won't go

Very good fish tacos, fried but light. They are served with red cabbage and a fantastic smile. ♥️

Never open. Do yourself a favor and go to Hanks diary bar about a mile north

Had chicken tacos. No cheese, very little lettuce and tomato. No taco sauce or salsa. Not happy. Won't go back in a hurry.

Come here at least once a week! Staff is always nice, accommodating and genuine! Food is great and way cheaper than most places near by! Highly recommended!

First time coming here. I loved that they had a small order of nachos. I got the meat one and I was very satisfied with the flavor and size. They even gave us free chips and salsa. I will be back to try something else. Very happy and nice people.

Love the food. You can't get a more reasonable meal, especially if you like Mexican food. Very plain inside, but you can always get their food to go!

I've made better food at home. The chicken taco was barely seasoned and the ground beef was very oily. The rice and beans that came with the meal did not taste good and really didn't have any flavor to it. If you're on RT. 12 and looking for something to eat, keep driving by.

Don't waste your money. Food is not good. Tacos tasted they were seasoned with a pack from the store, the taco shells were store bought and the salsa tasted like it was from a jar.

Definitely not Mexican food, but it isn't Tex-Mex either. I don't enjoy speaking ill of individually owned businesses so I'll be as blunt and professional as I am able.. yeah where to start. Took nearly 30 minutes for my friend and I to get our food. There were 3 other people in there with food when we ordered. Gotta work on timing. The carnitas tacos had no crispiness It was literally pulled pork, no seasoning, no crispiness. I thought they were just naming their carnitas "pulled pork" so people who have never had the joy of carnitas be pleasantly surprised. Nope it was just pulled pork and that's weird. I had the carne asada tacos named as "steak" tacos the corn tortilla was crisp and brittle like a taco bell "shell" again, weird. And they came without salsa. That's not a taco, so I asked for some salsa and they pointed me to a bin with, get this, some Louisiana style vinegar based packets and I think another was Sriracha? Bizarre. Like a fever dream where things take on literal meaning. I think when they researched salsa they confused it with hot sauce, which is fine, but you have to go with the correct country of origin. I asked for salsa again describing a pico style salsa. I received a small to go ramikin with chopped tomatoes, which tasted tinny, like from a can. Not a shred of onion, chiles, lime, salt nothing. Which points us back to my initial posit that this place wasn't Mexican and it wasn't Tex-Mex; you, the dear reader, are finding out why now. No onions and cilantro for tacos, just lettuce and cheese like Taco Bell. No idea what kind of research the owners did for a menu, if at all. This is either a family style taco bell, dreamt up by a New Englander-who thinks Taco Bell is Mexican food-or an Aaron Sanchez and Cladette Zepeda nightmare collaboration fever dream. The churros were decent but hard on the edges which meant they were either frozen and reheated, or old. Someone told me they closed, and I wouldn't be surprised, but here's a warning if you are considering it.

This place is up the road from me and is only open a few hours per day and when you call in your food is never ready for the time they tell you to pick it up, they are closed for dinner and on mondays. The place up the road is way better and more professional.
