Just ordered a burrito mixto which is a mix of chicken and tri tip and I must say this is the best burrito I’ve ever had in my life!! Portion was great for the price I couldn’t even finish it but I didn’t throw it away cause I just couldn’t do it !! I really recommend this place to anyone in the Santa Maria area !!

We love Pollo Norteño, but for some reason this weekend it lacked the same flavor. It needed more salt. The chicken, salsa, and rice. Even the tamarindo drink was just like water.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. I’m 35 now and still stop by from time to time. Good tasting food, clean environment, and my kids really like the chicken.

Wow! You want great grub fast and authentic and pretty cheap!? Go here! You get a plate with whatever kind of meat —chicken or tri-tip, beans, four tortillas as homemade chunky salsa—so fantastic! A wonderful real roadside dining experience…highly recommend. Nice people too.

I have memories of coming to this joint for the past 10 years and this place is consistently good as always. This is literally the only place I stop by in town as I’m going through the 101. Some of the best tri tip in town can be found here!

Pretty much anything you order here is delicious! Be careful in ordering the tri tip burrito. This dang thing is DELICIOUS! It’s a good size and I was able to eat the whole thing because it was so good. This place is very highly recommended!

For me, this is better chicken than El Pollo Loco. The marinade that they put on their chicken is amazing! Not a whole lot of variety here, but if you’re looking for something different than fried chicken, this is worth trying. Combo comes with tortillas, rice and beans.
