It was alright, I have the taco meat nachos, and the meat was seasoned well. Just didn’t seem like a good bang for your buck. The service was great. The only major downside to eating here is that they do not accept credit cards.

Such good food here! There’s usually a HUGE wait though, making it very crowded.

This place is amazing. Wish i would have went sooner. All food was amazing. Biggest burrito of my life. I can’t wait to go back and try something else. If you’re hungry make sure you try this place.
