Perhaps this place is a hidden gem. My only complaint would be that they're priced like gems. 2 burritos, 3 tacos, and 3 drinks, plus a 15% tip was about $70 total. At first bite, I thought the classic burrito was another classic "all beans and rice" burrito, but as I kept digging in, I found it to be nice portions of everything. I might also add that every bite was delicious. Not greasy like alot of places. The only thing that was dripping from my burrito was the savory taco sauce I kept dumping on it. The tacos were alot bigger than we expected for "street tacos", so the teenage girl could only eat 2.. that left me and the Mrs to share the 3rd taco. EVERYTHING, was tasty!

Friendly, helpful staff....
