A coworker recommended this place. $15.50 for a tasty cajun lamb burrito. The combination of lamb + the cajun sauce hit the spot. Three different auxilliary sauces, too, so you can freestyle as you eat. If you want to try a slightly different take on burritos, this is a great place!

The nachos with the special Cajun sauce used to be unbelievable, but recently I got them and they used way less sauce (they have to have lots of sauce or forget it – ask for it), and I suspect they changed the chips to cheaper ones in 2026, that aren’t as good. I’ve had these once a month and they’ve never gotten soggy in the 5 mins it took to get my order.
Anyway, The fusion of his spicy Cajun sauce overtop the nachos or in a burrito takes the food to the next level. This place flies under the radar. I’d say re-name and re-brand to mach how completely scrumptious and unique and delicious it actually is!
And it’s halal for those who can which NEVER happens with Mexican!
The owner couldn’t be nicer
The location means prices are good – he filled the container up, feels like 5lbs lol, and with chicken it was $14.95 – and absolutely excellent and full of flavor!!
Others there for the first time were also surprised how good it was

Went here for a quick dinner. Shared nachos and a burrito. The nachos are interesting. Has a curry-ish sauce on top and shredded cheese with other toppings. Feels healthier than other nachos but the chips get real soggy since the sauce is watery. Comes with a great green sauce to put on top.
The owner is friendly and the food comes fast. Would definitely come back!

My husband picked it up for me both times so I can’t speak to the service or atmosphere but he told me the owner is nice.
Anyway, I got a not good veggie burrito, but decided to give them another shot by getting the salmon burrito which was even worse. Tasted fishy and awful and had bones in it. I hope I don’t get food poisoning like some other reviews said they did.

Hole in the wall taqueria with unique and delicious burritos.
A neighbor highly recommended this taqueria so we drove 30 miles to check it out and we were glad we did. The menu selection is very different from a typical taqueria. We has the Cajun and the Garlic Lime both with lamb. DELICIOUS!

Interesting fusion of flavors here. They have various signature burritos (Cajun, garlic and lime, etc) all of which you can add a protein (steak, chicken, lamb, artichoke). I got the lamb Cajun burrito as they stated it was their spiciest. Not much info in terms of sauce ingredients, can be tricky if you have an allergy. My partner got the artichoke. Service was quick; staff not masked. Some street parking in front. The taste was interesting, but nothing too amazing. Wish the burritos contained more of the protein. Multiple consecutive bites without protein took away from the experience and flavor. A few chips (literally 4-5) per bag per order. Two burritos were $22; so you would expect a bit more value in terms of sides or protein.

Have eaten here before.
The Chef / Owner Mr. Mohammed is very Industrious, and makes sure we receive ‘ Ample Quantities ‘ on our Plates !!! The Meat Selections are Halal.
Location is Good, and since it’s a Prime Location near Solano Avenue on San Pablo Avenue …
there is ‘ An Off Street Parking Lot 2 -3 spaces before , and Just South of the Store.
The Owner just confirmed they have Spaces in there !!!
Important to ‘ Patronize Local Small Businesses post Covid – 19…
Enjoy !!!!

I am currently crawling around the floor of this restaurant searching for my jaw cause it fell clean off after I took my first bite of the angelic creation that is the Cajun lamb burrito. My partner got the Tropical, and Artichoke burritos, and they were both as mercilessly delicious as mine, though with flavors completely unique themselves. Three different sauces came with our food, and, as someone who was lost in the sauce long ago, I was extremely pleased. All the housemade sauces were uniquely spectacular; each bringing something new, and dynamic to the already formidable burritos we gobbled up with ravenous glee. The interior of the restaurant itself was nice, clean, and the pricing was great for food of this calibur.
When I awoke this morning I had no idea I was going to experience a life-changing burrito, but here we are. I’ll definitely be back!

One of my favorite spots from when I was a student. The only place in the planet that serves Gourmet-Afghan-Cajun-Lamb-Burrito which is absolutely top notch. The sauces elevate the entire experience (especially the garlic chilli sauce and mint chutney ). The loaded nachos are glorious as well
