“They made my tortillas fresh. And the spicy was super spicy. I loved that but the extras that you add on were either soggy or watered down except the jalapenos. The lettuce was soggy and sour cream and guacamole were soupy ... But those jalapeno were 💣”

“Tacos are great, especially the Barria. They have beer and wine. I don't think they serve margaritas. Not your typical tex-mex menu. The server explained the marinade the meat in the cooler overnight, and go light on the sauces on top - because all the flavor is in the meat itself. We had a party of 6 on a Tuesday, and the server forgot some of our drinks. Another server pitched in and got them. Seats are hard, so if you need a soft seat, bring a cushion. Prices are very reasonable. Location is right in downtown Sanford. I recommend you give it a try.”

“Wow, found my new favorite taco spot! Amazing and friendly service and fantastic food! We had birria, gound beef, chicken, and shredded beef tacos on their fabulous homemade corn tortillas with their housemate hot sauces. Everything was wonderful! And they're a local family owned small business!”

“I just want to share my experience at the Chipotle on W. Ball Park in Sanford with Dignoris. She has amazing customer service skills and truly went out of her way to make sure I was okay. I had come from the gym on my bike to eat at Chipotle, and it started raining. Dignoris actually went outside to check on me and asked if I was okay. She even told me that when I was ready to come inside, I could come in from the side so I wouldn’t get wet. For me, that was really, really top-notch customer service. It was a small gesture, but it showed genuine care and awareness, and I wanted to share that experience with the rest of the Chipotle family. Thank you, Dignoris, for going above and beyond! 🙏😂 Chipotle 2276”
