Quality food, good portion sizes, and quick service. I generally get a burrito or burrito bowl (tried most of them) and a churro (they're so good).

One of my favorite places to grab takeout (up there with Goldburgers, who is only walking distance from here now!) I have tried a number of things, all are great but the rice bowls and / or the veggie quesadilla are my go tos, and the bowls reheat wonderfully the next day too. That said I am not sure you can go wrong. It's mostly just a take out counter and a few small tables, but the service is always prompt, kind, correct, and most importantly, so good.Vegetarian options: They will swap out the protein for chick peas or other alternatives, and if vegan they will modify as well.Dietary restrictions: They are very accomodating to requests to change out some ingredients and offer the ability to subsititue up to two options as part of the cost.

I have only ordered delivery from this location, for the last four days while in town for work. Everything I have ordered has been amazing. Special shoutout to any of the bowls and the churros.

It seems like I received more food justfying the price and prior to the pandemic. Since it's a rice bowl, figured it should include more rice. The chicken also didn't taste fresh.

We always get take out so I cannot comment on the atmosphere but I believe most people do the same. Food is always good. I do appreciate the changes to the menu once in a while. We enjoy it every time we go!
