I was thinking about whether I should go here or not because the place, from the outside, is not very appealing and looks very rundown. I decided to go to the drive-thru and ordered a California Burrito. When I got my burrito, I took a bite and noticed there wasn’t really any meat inside besides fries. Is this how this restaurant treats its customers, shortchanging them on meat? I don’t know about coming back here again for a burrito because it was just ridiculous; I had no meat in my burrito.

The meal was excellent from the first taste. My chicken enchiladas were packed with tender meat, and the red sauce had a rich, smooth flavor that made every bite enjoyable. I left fully satisfied and excited to return for more.

The drive thru is a nightmare if you drive a stick because of the slant on the hill. Ppl be on your back so you can roll into them.
The 1st time I ate it was good. My food was fresh. The 2nd time they had me wait 10 minutes to end up giving me stale tacos. I didnt realize til I got home. So beware…waiting doesn’t mean fresh. The car in front of me was taking forever for all I know they gave me their old food. Its too bad because the first time I went the food was good. Not sure if I’ll be back. Its a shame ypu have to tell these places you want fresh food. Its like why do I need to tell you that

Strolled by here because of the reviews of it being one of the best drive thru’s to get your Mexican food fix. (Got the rolled tacos and the California burrito). Service was very friendly as well. It’s amazing how they keep their prices affordable even with inflation. The food was very delicious.

They need to pay attention. I pulled up and ordered a Chicken Cali. Burrito and a regular Cali. Burrito. I still confirmed with the cashier guy the order. (Not his fault unless he was also the cook) When I got home I cut my Burrito marked “Chicken” in half and it turned out that both Burritos were beef. I’m allergic to red meat and pork. That’s why I ordered chicken. If I would of taken a bite right away, I would have had to been taken to the ER. I was gonna go back and complain but I dint want their secret sauce on my food so I just ended eating cup of noodles. But I wont be going back there for sure.

This place use to be good. My family order 1 carne asada burrito and two California burritos with cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. It seems like they are going skimping on the cheese, sour cream, Jamaica and guacamole, but that’s not what my problem is the meat taste old. I thought it was just me so I didn’t wanna waste no food. I eat half the burrito. I regret every minute of it. I’ve been in the bathroom for the last 30 minutes and I’m still using the bathroom and I know that’s TMI but they need to get their kitchen in order because it doesn’t make any sense for somebody to get sick after eating their food and that’s the only thing I ate today. I just wanna pre-warn people that this place has been going down hill and for me and my family they hit the bottom. I will no longer be eating here.

Very awkward drive-thru to get to and through, but I’m glad they have it! You can call ahead and get your order faster, but they really are quite quick already.
Very efficient.

I’ll start with the pros: the man who took my order was courteous and respectful and generally had good customer service. The red salsa was really good. Sadly, those are the only pros.

Cons: I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, cheese, and fries. The size of the burrito was big but normal for the area. As soon as I took a bite, I noticed the burrito was pretty dry and I could only taste salty bacon and cheese and fries. Where’s the egg? I was eating on the go and the burrito started to fall apart which was extremely inconvenient. I did end up finding tiny pieces of egg but not enough for a breakfast burrito. The bacon was really weird: it was super thick and salty and DRY. Then I take a bite and I get this HUGE pieces of bacon chunks just falling out. It was pretty gross I left a picture so you can see what I’m talking about. That’s when I stopped eating.
For a simple breakfast burrito you’d think it would be good but nope I was left very disappointed.

On top of that, the drive thru is a complete nightmare! If you decide to go you’ll see what I mean. And good luck if you drive a manual transmission because that would be hell. Good luck getting out of the lot because that was super difficult. And to top it off, they take FOREVER.

I do not recommend this place and will never be returning.

I ordered a torta de carne asada and it was well seasoned but the meat felt a little chewy, just a little. It was a little light on the meat but everything else was good as well as the salsa. The restaurant is not cheap but also not expensive.
