    Love this place. Highly recommend the mole enchiladas as well as the pomegranate mojito! Hard to go wrong with anything on their menu. Friendly staff as well.

    I called in my order and picked it up. Service was great. Very attentive and friendly staff working here. The atmosphere is cute. Cozy inside, and has a lovely outdoor patio. I got a carne asada burrito. The flavor of the beef was good, and it well prepared. My biggest hangup was that there were pieces of chewy gristle. :( That is an automatic NO for me. I could not finish my burrito because of that, and I would never order carne asada or beef from here again. I had to take off two stars for this because meat quality is very important to me. As many have mentioned, they serve arroz blanco (white rice) here instead of the traditional Mexican arroz rojo most are used to. I was really missing the flavors there. I do wanna try the cochinita pibil plate at some point, so I will give them another chance.
