Three types of burritos : Old School = beans no rice . Constance = rice no beans. Regular = both. Deluxe = add sour cream and guac . Three sizes: mini, reg, giant. Takes training to finish the giant!

The last time I was in town I had the deluxe chicken salad two days in a row because it was so good. Perfect balance of flavors and the chicken cooked just right. Always good food here!

Jason Baxter

Very good, but not the best Mexican in Durham. One of the few places to go after the bars close at 2am. Stays open 'til 4am to keep the party going.

Maizena salad with beans and salsa is the only time as a vegetarian I recommend salad . Also love the veggie burrito with spinach and shrooms .

Charles Strickland

The hours of operation are what set this apart from other eateries . The food is ok but definitely not mouth watering. The grungy atmosphere plus the “eyes wide shut” stairs make up for that.

Swan U

Best hole in the wall joint! Get the salads with salsa on top. Veggie burritos are great; get wheat for 10 cents extra.

Two regular burritos is cheaper than a "giant", yet slightly more food.

Very good chicken burritos with three sizes. The minis are still pretty good sized though, great for lighter eaters. :-)

Katie Vuocolo

Burrito lesson: rice no beans = constance; beans no rice = old school; beans + rice = regular. Deluxe = sour cream and guac
