Delicious local place with great prices and very friendly staff. The steak burrito is fantastic. Ordering ahead is really nice because they will set the table for you if you order ahead for dining in 😊 what a perfect way to bring the family together 🙏

Steak Taco dinner with a pop $17 not a bad price. Flavor was good. The green salsa could use some work.

The only thing I would say about this place is that service was... just ok. There were many kind girls, but non of them were aware about what we needed, so we had to call them every time we needed something. About the food, it was very good with good presentation.

Had the burrito which was average but more disappointing was the false advertising of skirt steak. Burrito had boiled standard steak which most places do but dont say it is skirt steak which is misleading

Was recommended this place by a coworker and we've been coming back at least twice a month for over a year. Everything on the menu is great, get the red salsa!
