    Went here cuz I wanted to use try their new items for the bowl option and the signage was great but they didn't really offer it to me or explain it to me and it wasn't on the actual menu. It was just kind of spread throughout the aisle when you wait in line. If I didn't know ahead of time about it I wouldn't even know they had new items. I was hoping when I ordered my food they would mention it or say hey would you like to try our new items, we have this and etc, etc... The sides weren't that great, I didn't really care for any of them. Everything else was good though.

    Food is delicious, had a steak burrito with fajitas veggies and enchilada style. Wife had shredded chicken tacos.

    This place was recommended to me by a friend who said they had great barbacoa tacos. They were not overselling them, absolutely fantastic! Also the creamy tomatillo ranch dressing was very tasty but I probably would not get it with the barbacoa again, as they don't need it. Would be great with chicken though. It's one of those places where you choose Bowl/Tostada/Tacos/Burrito then select your meats. Decor is colorful but also somewhat industrial. Drawbacks: I probably wouldn't eat-in in future because they have what I call "F you, get out" chairs, so I'll definitely eat here again but only takeout, not for meeting up and lunching with friends. I liked the colors of them, but not comfortable. The pinto beans were not my favorite, they had a lot of flavor just not one I liked. I suspect some folks will like them a lot though, just not my taste. So end result, definitely eat here, tacos are amazing, but get it to go.

    I walked into a cafeteria style place that smelled delicious I loved that the tortillas were freshly made in front you . You place your order and watch them make your food fresh then they put it thru a oven and it finishes off with you choosing toppings and sides . I ordered chicken enchiladas and they were very good ! I felt like I had made them at home . The chips and guacamole were really good as well . My friend told me the tacos were really good so I will try them next time . The service was good the staff was friendly . The decor was simple just tables and chairs but most importantly it was clean . I will come back and eat again to either this location or in Las Vegas .
