So this was my 3rd time coming here in the last month. Each time I got take out and each time I ordered a chicken burrito bowl and each time it was the best bowl I’ve ever had. The overall proportion is great and filling and the individual proportions of each ingredient are perfect. The flavor of each one is perfect. I’m planning on coming back on Wednesday with my wife to eat here and try the drinks.

Delicious food and great service! I ordered the asada bowl and my husband ordered pollo burrito. The asada was such high quality and flavorful, and the other many ingredients in the bowl were so fresh and tasty. I especially loved the guacamole! My husband liked his burrito but wish it had more chicken than it did. We ate outside on the patio and enjoyed that too. The prices seemed a bit high for a quick serve restaurant but the food was great.

This place is amazing. On our first trip here, we were going down the Row to get the the pizza place (also good), when we decided to look at a menu. When a waiter came out and asked if we wanted to sit inside our outside, we all collectively agreed to go in. The atmosphere is authentic, and the staff is wonderful. All the food was great, but I would highly recommend the short rib tacos. Overall, it is a fantastic restaurant with amazing food. 5 stars.

Found this place by accident and WOW!! All the food we ordered are all delicious. The chips are warm and perfectly crispy. The carnitas tasted great, as does the Mexican street corn. My wife ordered the chicken tostada and it also very delicious and pretty big portion too. It’s definitely more on the pricey Mexican fast food, but we’ll worth every penny. Will be back here for sure.
