Nachos were good, but the burrito was Americanized with stale brown rice and sour tomatoes. The staff here also seem to hate their jobs or me or both.

Great burritos and nice spot for lunch! Lots of options to choose from, whether you like meat or vegetarian.

Although the seating area was nice, I thought the food was uninspired. Got the bean and cheese burrito and the cheese was cold… Missing some flavors overall.Generally a weird atmosphere. You don’t see what you get (compared to other places, the assembly/cooking area is not in view). Also, the employee taking orders was seemingly having a very bad day.

Pretty average quality but they charge extra for the most basic ingredients that would be complimentary elsewhere.

Surprisingly they have an excellent spinach and goat cheese salad. Plenty of vegetarian options of course.

This place is bomb. Fresh , hot, flavors worked well together and the service was pretty fast. It was my first time going and it surely won't be my last. I had the steak burrito.

Nice Mexican food in a somewhat sterile restaurant with an industrial vibe. This was NOT a hotel!!!

Good food, great location, clean and busy place. We were staying at an Airbnb in the neighborhood and walked for a quick bite. Food was fresh and delicious. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you. Would definitely eat here again!

Love Purple Cactus and order frequently but unfortunately I found a metal staple in my food. This is dangerous as someone can choke. Also, how does this happen? Keep staples and staplers away from the food.
