Crazy delicious food. Vibrant and energetic staff (they sing and call-back when you order certain items). They get busy for lunch , so head over early if you want to skip the line .

Tracy Caldwell

The quesadilla with grilled chicken was delicious. Service was a bit slow. Perhaps, they need to hire more staff . The guac is better than Chipotle's, in my opinion.

Kevin T

Holy crap, line is out the door by 11am on Tuesdays. Come early for the $5 deal!

John Cassillo

A chain, yes, but the pulled pork is excellent and it's an easy lunch option.

Lawton

The chicken towards is awesome and is just the right amount of food for the right price.

Delicious food! I love the barbacoa burrito with the mild green sauce on top.

Mustafa Alammar

Salmon tacos on Friday are fantastic.

Gerardo Nava

Food is fantastic. Tortillas are freshly made . They could improve on the customer service front. Employees seem unhappy to work here. Every single table is uneven so it makes it hard to cut your food.

Kevin T

Get the barbacoa salad , with house dressing . But on weekdays, get in before 11 to avoid the line !

Love C.

Holy moly! Their portions are huge! The pork babacoa is delish... And I'm not supposed to even eat pork . It's sweet... So you gotta like it that way if you order it.

Amanda G

Barbacoa nachos are insanely good, especially with the queso sauce instead of shredded cheese ! The pork is sweet, but oh so yummy!

Mitchellee Perrera

Taco Tuesday is tasty but very busy during lunch hours. Barbacoa tacos r my favorite

Julia Beckley

Order the pork salad ... like everyone says, it's the best! And it's so big that I eat half and have the other half the next day!

Rachel Sheffield

Their salads are famous and really good. Pick the creamy tomatillo house dressing . It is epically good.
