    Their burritos are very good, but I personally like their chimichangas the best.

    The margaritas were made with bottled mix and ZERO tequila. I would’ve sent it back but the server seemed to be having a hard day. The vegetarian tacos consist of 1 item - I chose 1 tofu and 1 spinach - on a small, bare flour tortilla and nothing else. No onions and cilantro, no lettuce, no beans or grilled veggies that would’ve greatly improved the taco, just a few cubes of tofu or a few spinach leaves and nothing else. I would’ve sent rate this place 2 ⭐️ but my companions were happy with their meals: shrimp fajitas and a mole burrito.
