I don’t know what has happened to this place. When they first opened it was great! Now, the last few times I went there I was disappointed. Food prices are what they are, but the quality has gone down. I have always gotten the breakfast burrito there and it was exceptional. The last 3 time I have gone there the order was wrong! I let it slide the first two times because I know it was not their norm. But, this is the third time. My burrito was not only skimpy and cold, but this is the third time I ordered it with guacamole (which is an extra charge) and they didn’t put any guac in it! Not ok. So needless to say, I am done wasting my money there. Best of luck to you all. Definitely check your order before you leave though.

THEY WILL DOUBLE CHARGE WITH THE EXCUSE THAT YOUR CARD DIDN’T GO THROUGH I order a burrito the meat tasted old and it was extremely salty. I told them about the extremely salty taste but they didn’t offer me to make me another burrito and some pieces of meat were hard and had to spit them out. I was very hungry so I eat it and feel sick as hell!!!!! I would not recommend you to eat here it’s below average. THE PICTURE SHOWS THE HARD PIECES THAT I COULDN’T EAT

Wonderful service and generous portions of great Mexican cuisine. Third time here. First time I remembered to review. Carnitas chimis are pictured. They are open 24 hours and offer complimentary chips and salsa bar. Cheers Jeff

After being let down by a Mexican restaurant/ fast food place in Grass Valley we decided to head back to Auburn and see if their burritos were any better. They are!!
The burritos are bigger and worth the price. They are fully loaded with rice, beans, guacamole, carne asada, and more. The service is quick, efficient, and friendly. The parking lot is big and can accommodate many vehicles. Their salsa are very flavorful as well.

Being open 24 hours is convenient. I have been here many times. twice i ate inside but i have used the drive thru probably a hundred times or more. The prices have gone up. seems a bit expensive. I recently started coming here even more due to taco tuesday $1.50 tacos. In the past i noticed once in awhile getting a little bit overcharged. Today i came at lunch for taco tuesday and ordered 6 tacos but got charged for 7 tacos. The sign says the tacos are $1.50 each pick your meat. i have come through for taco tuesday before and all my tacos were 1.50 each steak or chicken. I only came here for lunch today because of taco tuesday. My bank also notified me they think my card was recently double charged when i got a super burrito. I recieved this notice once or twice in the past also. Im thinking i found a way better lunch place downtown.

We hit this restaurant totally by happenstance, not as an intended destination. And it was Taco Tuesday! I was delightfully surprised at the quality and quantity of the meat in my tacos, and the prices drove this deal home!! Thanks, we’ll be back!!

I’m a walking garbage disposal that ate and actually enjoyed military food from my service days, so when I say the following, I mean it! One of the worst Mexican food restaurants we have ever eaten at. Overly expensive for small portions, orders with missing paid for extra items, and hazardous food. The street tacos are tiny, barely filled (half the amount pictured in menu online) and way over priced, the burritos are a travesty of slop with careless globs of ingredients not layered in and bad flavors, and the rice is just BAD. I mean, how do you screw up rice??? They scammed me with the menudo as well as could have caused a medical situation due to it. My menudo has a giant inedible joint bone in it almost the size of a baseball so they tricked me on portion size. The soup also has SHARP chips of bone in it that I could have choked on. I caught it last second and choked and spit it out! I’ve gone to various qualities of restaurants that have better menudo with more in it and larger portions at half this price! The combo plate was horrible and twice the price it should have been. I’ll be going back to talk to the manager tomorrow, which will be a first in my life. It was that bad. Also, for some reason they required running my credit card a second time AFTER giving me my order receipt. I will be watching my credit card account.
So I am editing this review minutes later as I just checked my credit card account and they charged me the whole bill TWICE!

Food has really gone down hill, chicken super salty, fish taco hardly any sauce and $40 for 2 tacos and 2 burritos is crazy talk. We ate at a restaurant the other day and it was $40 and that included tip.
