"The orders are made fresh while you are standing there. My favorite is the shrimp quesadilla—yum! The hot chips and cheese sauce are wonderful, too."

GREAT PLACE FOR TACOS AND BURRITOS

"Nice big portions made to order, and you pick what you want in them. I had the shrimp burrito. It was outstanding. I recommend the spicy pico de gallo. It's very good."
