  Ate here for the first time and was very impressed. It was mid-afternoon on a weekday so perhaps a quieter time but we definitely enjoyed the nice relaxed atmosphere. Our server, Maria A was very attentive and helpful and was very sweet as well. She gave us recommendations on foods at our request and we enjoyed our meals very much. I had the lunch California Burrito Jr with carne asade but Jr is a misnomer as I boxed up over half of it for later. My husband had the lunch Fajitas Skillet and it was generously portioned as well. Looking forward to returning.

  I ordered what might be the most smothered, sauciest burrito I’ve ever seen in my life — and I mean that in the best way. It came out covered in the creamiest queso-style sauce, perfectly melted and dripping down the sides like it was in a food commercial. The burrito itself was huge, packed, and clearly made fresh. You could tell they don’t skimp on portions here. Thank you so much Henry. Your amazing

  I would like to share feedback about my order today from the San Jose location on Apopka Vineland Rd. I usually order from the West Colonial Drive location, and I have never had any issues there. Today I ordered the beef fajitas, but there was barely any meat in the dish. It was mostly green peppers and onions, with only a few small pieces of beef. For the price we paid, this was very disappointing. This has never happened to me at the West Colonial location,

  I went here on Valentine’s night me and my toddler daughter. When checking in with the host she said for 2 ppl it would be a 40 min wait. Ok cool given what night it was. After waiting about 10/15 I saw the waitress cleaning off a small table. About 10 more mins a couple was done so they cleaned off that small table. After another 5 mins another couple got up. So there were 3 small booths an available to seat 2 ppl. The manager walks up so I am him “why are you all not sitting ppl at those tables?” He responds the kitchen is backup up and it is about a 40 min wait on food. So basically if we were to be seated we would have to wait to be served. This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of! So you rather your guest stand and wait than to be seated and wait on food. Yea I will never be back here and I haven’t even taste the food yet!

  Had a DELICIOUS dinner here with my family and toddler. The food was authentic and excellent in flavor and freshness. We had quesadillas and tacos, and really enjoyed the complimentary nachos and salsa. My virgin mojito was one of the very best I've ever had, and our server who made it was so kind, as were all the workers we met. The prices were affordable and we will most definitely return! Thank you for a great dinner! The dining room is large, clean and spacious, and the bathrooms were also clean.
