    I like to focus on what I came here for. THE FOOD. Not the decor, atmosphere, wait time....just FOOD.

    Carnita Burro with Pico. OMG. One of the freshest tortillas I've ever had.  

    Warm, supple, soft...yep, that's how I'm describing it. Warm meat and complete happiness on the inside.

    Classic Mexican coke, chips and salsa, spicy and crunchy just the way they should be. People were nice,  food was spectular. 5 Really glad the other place we Yelped was closed.  Worth the stop, right off the freeway back home to AZ.

    Only downside: they don't deliver to Phoenix.

    Service seriously lacking. We went through their drive through and had to park and wait for our food. Difficult time communicating our order.
    3 Carne Asadas ( 2 wet w/ enchilada sauce) order of rolled tacos & a California burrito.

    The wait time was about 15 minutes. Food arrived hot and fresh, that was the only plus.

    Carne meat was pretty charred and not a lot of marinated flavor. The wet burritos, we couldn't even cut through the flour tortilla? No guacamole inside the burritos?! It was the imitation quac served in small salsa cups on the side. No Pico de Gallo inside burrito. Shredded lettuce, slice of tomato & red onion was served on the side of the "wet burritos". California burrito was average as well as the rolled tacos.

    The best thing tasted that I enjoyed was the enchiladas sauce. Salsas offered and just ok. I'd say the stand out one was the green. They do offer carrots, if you request them. They are $.27 cents per bag.

    We decided to try this place since it is next to the Holiday Inn Express ( which I highly recommend ). Horrible experience. First the customer service is just bad. The girl that took our orders didn't even know how to smile. We ordered Carne Asada salad and Pollo Asada salad. Carne Asada didn't even look like the right meat and had NO flavor. The Chicken tasted like fake chicken and again no flavor. It said it came with Avocado and between all 3 salads there was less then 1/2 of Avocado. It was a huge container of lettuce with horrible meat. At $9 a salad it was more then disappointing. Even when the food isn't the best I always give points for service. But when you have horrible service and horrible food.. That makes for a horrible experience. Don't waste your money!

    We were driving to San Diego and somewhere, somehow this place appeared on a list of places to eat at if you want to stop on the road. Anyway, we're from Australia and we generally have texmex, over-priced hipster-run Mexican joints and traditional family--run restaurants.
    I can only describe this place as a dive bar for tacos! Crap service (I could barely communicate) but the food was great and well worth the visit.

    The drive thru needs some serious work 20 min waiting for 3 burritos and 3 tacos is just to long, I went at a time where I was the only vehicle in the drive thru and I still had to wait in the parking lot, the restaurant is clearly under staffed oh and no more Special Quesidillas are served here, so good by to a majority of your business I will be going else where for my Fast Mexican food to bad this place was starting to Improve
