Authentic cuisine. Rice and beans have a pretty great flavor.. so imagine the rest of the food?
Stopped for a quick bite on our way to Hearst Castle. Ordered a few different varieties of tacos for $3 a taco. Food was prepared fast, in 5 minutes. Carne asada tacos were good, with a slightly spicy green salsa. Carnitas and el pastor tacos were disappointing and lacking flavor. Good spot to stop for a quick bite.
Top 5 Burrito of all time. After a long day without food, I find myself choosing between Jack in the Box and this local shop. I decided to put my money on the Asada Burrito: a decision that I will never regret. The lady in the front was so nice she offered us glasses of water for free. After returning to my motorized vehicle, I began to unpack this masterfully folded burrito. Usually a good burrito involves some kind of mess. This time however, I had absolutely zero problems in terms of mess at all! The ingredients are simple and masterful. If I lived in the area, I would come here often.

Know before you go
- For the best experience, try popular items like the Asada Burrito or tacos al pastor
- If vegetarian, opt for the bean and cheese burrito loaded with rice, tomato, lettuce, and hot sauce inside
- Visit during off-peak hours to avoid long wait times for food preparation
- Consider sharing large portions like daily special fish burritos that can easily feed multiple people

Very good chicken enchiladas! $11.00 !! Nice service!
PSA: This is absolutely not a breakfast burrito spot. I ordered a bacon and egg burrito and added avocado on a Sunday morning. Picked it up and brought it home….no avocado, which I had paid for. ($31 for 2 burritos and a soda). There was a watery green salsa and when I called back to tell her the avo was missing from both, she said “let me ask the cooks…. they added guac”. Ok 1) I didn’t ask for guac, and you need to specify that when someone adds avocado. And 2) There was also nothing resembling avocado there. I ended up bringing this “bacon” to their attention because it looked and tasted like chopped up spam (pictured). When I went back, the owner said, “yeah it’s turkey bacon”. What!! You need to specify what kind of bacon is in your burrito if it’s not bacon. It was so salty and bad. The egg was also the folded rubbery kind of egg you get in a fast food breakfast sandwich. It was 90% rice and spam. Just a travesty all around. The owner was kind enough to refund my entire purchase, so this is just so others know. I’d go back and get tacos or enchiladas, but never ever a breakfast burrito from here again!!! Positives: friendly staff, huge burrito, clean environment. Owners: please fix these ingredients or train your staff to tell customers what your “avocado” and “bacon” are! This should be taken off your menu.
