Very nice place! Larger than you might expect from outside. They have a party room. Had a steak burrito w/ beans & rice. Well seasoned steak. Need to increase the steak-to- beans ratio a bit but good portion size over all.

Bland and blah. Salsa was crushed tomato straight out of a can; no cilantro, onion, nothing. Steak burrito had something in it more like roast beef and a lot of lettuce. Dry. Everything was n the side was extra. Rice was bland. They couldn’t even turn the lights on over the bar area when customers sat down there. I would not return.
