Over the past 15 years of coming to this place it’s experienced changes. Initially excellent it went through a few years of decline. Fortunately the last 4 years have been fantastic. Flavorful, decently large portions, and some very good Salsa.

Good solid staplehead Mexican food was very happy with tostada, wet burrito tacos, Enchiladas. They offer both dine in and drive thru options. Salsa ok but pretty flavorful food so not a deal breaker.

This place has one of the best Bean & Cheese Burritos in the area. It's perfectly balanced and comforting plus it pairs well nicely with their hot sauce. I heard their Breakfast Burritos are tasty as well. The staff is polite with a fast drive-thru and a clean dining room. Free parking in lot.

My order through the drive thru ALWAYS goes fast. Large parking lot, small outside eating area, Large inside seating area. Bathrooms are very clean. Friendly employees, I only get one thing here, Carnitas wet burrito. Small salad on the side, crispy chips surrounded by generous serving of salsa.

Was very surprised on the quality of food and customer service , the staff there is so professional and cordial , never heard so much acknowledgment and respect in a restaurant. That’s what I noticed while eating there , the food was delicious. Can’t wait to try out other menu items definitely my lunch spot whenever I travel to the Pasadena side . Was able to enjoy my meal and work there as well . The way they work is very professional. The only thing is overall they need to keep the lobby more clean and restroom As well, was a bit smelly and floors looked a bit dirty . Other than that 100%
