Really just a Chipotle clone.
Food's pretty basic, maybe a bit on the bland side, but not bad in any way. Place was quite clean... yay!
I would come back, mostly because Chipotles are going downhill.

Ryan was cool. I came in at 9:15pm not knowing when they closed but wondering. Ryan read my mind and said come on in, we're still open. He stopped what he was doing and served me and did a good job. He didn't have that look on his face that so many fast food workers have where you can tell they're just groaning inside that they have another customer and that they actually hate their jobs. Nor did he have a giant oversized fake smile, and he didn't try to sell me anything and he didn't ask me to leave a review. He just had an obviously good attitude (at the end of the day, no less) and did a good job and seemed very genuine. No stress. It was refreshing. I wish all employees everywhere were like that. The food was good, too.

instant 1 star for the fact that consistently the staff doesnt wear hairnets.
i dont go as much as i like bevause its a hassle to check my food for hair as the first few times i went, i found hair in my food. 2 seperate times, occurred in a row. weeks apart. something like that can scar a person for life.
1st time: ught ew theres hair in my food! ergh, maybe its mine? ill give them benefit of the doubt, ill be mindful next time..
2nd time: *notes employess dont wear hairnets* *orders* *goes home* .......... theres hair in my food Again.... so that must mean last time was unlikely mine (logical thought process obviously)
i now have to either check in store if possible, or if i take it straight home i have(?) to record for proof, myself checking and eating, so i cant really enjoy my food infront of a tv like God intended until i go in to order and everyone is wearing a hairnet
for the record the following few times ive went: i checked in store and found nothing, another time went with my bf and was fine-sans check, and today i checked at home and have a recording i can delete since i didnt find anything.
each visits i noted that the staff consistently do not wear hairnets. im not sure whats changed but last time i worked in a kitchen, hairnets are a requirements, even if wearing also a hat. whats up with that?

Me and my family got rice bowls and we absolutely loved it. It tasted very fresh and you could taste all the flavors in the bowl not just piled all on top of each other. We also got chips and queso to share and that was very good as well, it has a great flavor & cut up peppers that made it very yummy. On top of the great food it was great service tho it was an hour before closing the workers were very pleasant and quickly got my to go orders done. Def will be back!
