Pretty good. Nice place, nice staff. Had a steak burrito. Steak was kind of dry, which I’ve never experienced before in a burrito. Also a bit under seasoned. But all in all not bad in a pinch. It was a huge burrito. The red and green sauce was good. Eh, not much else to say. Not bad.

Burritos smothered in mole is an easy win. So delicious. Asada burrito enmolado dinner is our go to. There salsas are great too, especially the salsa verde with avocado chunks.
