MADE US SICK!!!
My friend and I ate here for lunch today. Horrible experience. My friend paid for a fountain soda and they didn’t tell her they only had sprite and Dr Pepper available. She ended up just paying for a water cup. We both got different burritos I got birria and she got chicken. They made us violently ill and throw up afterwards. We think the rice had gone bad. Neither of us could even finish our food it wasn’t good. Go literally anywhere else! CAVA is across the street and taste great plus doesn’t make you SICK. wish I could give this place negative stars.

SO GROSS!!! me and my friend threw up!!!! -my friend and i both got burritos, only similarities being the cheese, rice, and tortilla. i also got a fountain drink and they only had sprite/dr pep so i got water in the cup i paid for. i didn't feel like bothering the employees who didn't really speak english clearly. i wish they mentioned having like no options. we ate there in the restaurant and it was empty! i only ate 1/2 my burrito since most of it was mushy, disgusting rice. my friend ate about 2/3. i was still hungry so we went to cava for pita chips to eat later and my friend literally threw up in the bathroom there. on the way back to work, we pulled over for me to throw up too!! we both still do not feel great. i paid $18 to literally throw up and even tipped 15%😭😭 go to moe's, cava, chipotle, literally anywhere else💀

Experience here feels more like you walked in on a group of random people who stumbled into a Qdoba and started making things than what you’d expect from a burrito spot. Stick to chipotle or moes

Had wrong burrito delivered from website order, called and was initially told “they don’t delivery” then got told I’d be called back just to get me off the phone. Hour late call back and they can’t find my order, while getting order number for lady she hangs up. Wasted time and money and still had to drive into location to get refund. Place is ran like a joke and by lazy people wanting to do the least and bank off a good franchise while proving abysmal service. Needs new owners
