    I’m sure others have a had a better experience but mine wasn’t quite great. The clerk didn’t understand what I was saying when I asked her to add shrimp to my burrito and even when I confirmed it with her on my burrito it was still just carne asada. I understand if there’s a language barrier but just say you don’t understand she instead smiled and said yes. After I brought it back she charged 3 extra dollars for something that was already a mistake. It was remade which I appreciate so I’m not too mad but I won’t come back because I got double charged. Good food tho chef did his thing just not worth being double charged for.

    best joint around, in the style of all the others. A little $pendy BUT you pay for quality and the gas station owners are top notch folks. the entire establishment is worthy to frequent.
