If you want your items to get mixed up toppings, and missing the queso, then come here. Literally every time we have came here (6-7 times at this point, I kid you not), they have messed up our orders. This time, they swapped the toppings on our bowls entirely. The people who work there clearly do not care about quality. The ingredients themselves are very high quality and taste fantastic, and the nachos are always a great experience, but how much support can you give to a business when they consistently butcher your main course? They need new employees, or the employees need retrained—something has got to give. It’s a shame, really. With the taste of their food, I wish their service and attention to detail was better. We won’t be coming back for a while. If you want your order to be correct through grubhub pickup or delivery, then don’t come here. If you come in and order in person, then it’s nearly impossible for them to screw up, since it is set up similar to subway/chipotle where they build your food as you go—which, they clearly prioritize in-person orders. But, they clearly don’t care at all about the pickup and delivery orders. This is a pattern of mistakes, not just...

First of all I don't think I'm mistaken that breakfast is served until at least 9:30am am. We walked into an empty place where they were 'steaming' an over packed grill with meat for lunch. The place was filthy. The menu offered a few items. We ordered a traditional breakfast and Heuvos Rancheros. Who on earth ever serves Huevos Rancheros with Tomatillo Salsa Verde and no flour tortilla!!!!. The dish is made with eggs over a flour tortilla, that is topped with refried beans, eggs, cheese and maybe, just maybe chili sauce. The guy cooking eggs was informed to cook two styles. Over med and over hard. The over-med were sunny side up and burned on the bottom. The Huevos were eggs served in a cardboard bowl with no tortilla just a choice of cold toppings. I promptly threw it away. This place needs ppl who know how to cook! Know traditional foods. C'mon you should be better than that.Never...

I got a burrito bowl and the portions are very small. For $10 you are not getting much. The flavor was alright but not anything you can’t get from those spice packs you get from Walmart. Atmosphere was not one I wanted to be at nor did it feel “Mexican.” If it had any Spanish elements it was a scorpion. Atleast Yallah has better decoration and seating. Plus they have better workers. I’m definitely not going back as I would rather go to Lupitas or Yallah. Plus their cleanliness is...

Not a bad, Chipotle style Mexican restaurant. I had a Steak Mexican Bowl. The portion was enormous. There were plenty of fresh ingredients to choose from, including corn, jalepeno peppers, cheese, black beans, rice, and lettuce. Unfortunately, the steak was dry and tasteless. The order came quickly, and the service was very friendly. The restaurant was clean and spacious. A very good, but not great place for Mexican food.

Unique, delicious ingredients in comparison to nearby Chipotle. The mango salsa and plantains are great. I even like the roasted vegetables. Some meats are really good. My favorites are the chorizo, pork al pastor, and shrimp (the steak is not as flavorful). The yellow rice is very rich and tasty. Guacamole and queso are included in the price. I usually get a bowl and don’t regret it.

First time here and it did not disappoint! Got the set of 3 tacos that included Al Pastor, Carnitas and chorizo. I personally liked the Chorizo the best, but all were delicious. You could taste the freshness of all the ingredients, especially the tortillas. Can’t wait to come back and try out the rest of the menu.
