    Just AMAZING! This place is way better than Juan pollo. It was my first time going there today and I was blown away by the flavor. It tastes exactly like Juan pollo but the chicken is much better here! The skin is super good and breast is super tender. Will definitely be my go to spot now.

    Overall, everything was good. The lady who served me was very charismatic. The flavor of the wings and the pescuezos is very similar to those in Mexico. I also had cheesecake, and it was truly delicious. My only suggestion is that they clean the pescuezos better, as I did find some with feathers .

    I called ahead to order, and my wet burrito was already ready when I arrived 7ish minutes later (5pm on a Tuesday). It was really big, and all-up with tax it was $14. I definitely could have shared it with somebody, as I felt completely stuffed after eating the whole thing. Textures were good, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the salsa (I had chosen the mild one). I probably should have just gone with a regular (non-wet) burrito, for my preference.

    It's a good value for what you get, but I think the chicken is a little lacking. For a mini meal ($18.99 I think), you get one chicken, rice (yum!), beans, potato salad (yum!), salsa, and tortillas. It's supposed to feed 2-3 people, but it fed my family of 4 with plenty of leftovers. I think chicken quality is subpar - it's a little mushy and the skin isn't as crispy as I'd like/hope. With that said, you can feed a family of four for under $20 with leftovers, so you're paying for quantity over quality. The highlights were definitely the rice, potato salad, and salad. The potato salad was insanely good. It's a juxtaposition here - subpar chicken with tasty sides. For what it's worth, it's good here. No problems with customer service. In fact, the girl threw in extra tortillas for good measure. Pro tips: order a larger potato salad and a larger hot salsa - will definitely go a long way.

    This place is a joke lol wanna be Juan pollo. I ordered a chicken bowl and the chicken was super salty and to top it off they charged me almost 3 dollars for a little cup of avocado salsa which should come free with your meal.. I would understand if it was a side of guacamole or pieces of avocado..‍ what a joke!!

    Only the tortilla makes it Mexican

    I struggled with the decision on weather or not to write a review for my experience here. If it was just about the service, they would get very high marks, but it's not like a destination sit down type of restaurant, so it has to be all about the food. When I finally decided to write this, my hope is that they will take the criticism and improve on it. I'm sure they can. The chicken is a rotisserie style and it is nice that you can clearly see that when you come in, but being a Mexican restaurant you want the chicken to have all those awesome Mexican flavors, and here, it doesn't. It's just salt and pepper, but I wish they would amp it up more. The salsas they have are very, very, VERY mild and have a watery taste. In fact, everything here has a watery taste, the beans, the rice, even the chicken. There were so many missed opportunities to put flavor in any and all the elements of their food, I just didn't get it? Why was the rice, like just white rice, the beans tasted like they were just boiled in plain water, the chicken had no obvious Mexican spices or flavor. I just didn't get it. We ordered 2 fried burritos, 2 tostada salads, and 1 order of taquitos. I must say they do give a lot of chicken in all their dishes, but everything we ordered was riddled with chips of bone. When I chomp down on bones, i can't help it,,,I just lose my appetite. Since I can't have my kids or anyone else eat it with confidence, not even my dogs, I just threw ALL of it away. While I was waiting for my order, I chatted with some regulars, they were super nice and we talked about how they come here very often. I'm so confused, either they don't mind the lack of flavor and all the chipped bones or I got really unlucky?? I don't understand.

Just 1 day ago a review was left saying they got sick...but we went anyway. That worry didn't last long. The place was very clean, the staff was friendly, and since it was our first time, they walked us through the menu and helped us pick. As soon as we walked in, we felt that cool beach/surf, ocean-inspired theme throughout the restaurant. We ordered the battered shrimp tacos, which were excellent, and tried the stingray tacos too -- not something you get to eat just anywhere, and they didn't disappoint. There were multiple house-made salsas and sauces to go with everything. We also got a burrito, which ran close to $20 -- on the pricier side, but it lasted me two full days, so you can judge the value for yourself. It's a seafood spot, so the higher prices make sense once you're there. Overall, this is one of those places you really have to experience in person. Highly recommend giving it a shot, even if it means a slightly bumpier drive to find it.

The…read moretaco relleno was absolutely amazing, packed with flavor and featuring a fresh chile that added the perfect kick without overpowering the taco. The carnitas were just as impressive: tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. What really took the experience to the next level were the salsas.

My husband got a regular Asada burrito and i ordered the asada fries. Both meals had good flavor, asada was cooked perfect (not too dry or fatty) i personally liked the straw style fries and that it wasn't packed with french fries over the toppings (a lot of places put more fries than toppings) it was perfectly balanced and a decent portion! Burrito was a nice size, my husband was content and not overly full or still hungry after. Burrito had a good amount of asada in it as well! (some places can get stingy with the meat!) Their chili oil is SOOOO GOOD! good flavor and spice (i'm a big fan of spicy food and chili oil is one of my personal faves to add to a meal! there chili oil hit the spot!) we liked our first visit so much we both were craving it again and went back 2 days later prettt sure we found a new local personal favorite!

    I've had this place bookmarked forever and finally found myself on this side of town, somewhere I…read morerarely go. So glad I made the trip. I walked in on a Friday evening and was surprised there was no line. I was immediately greeted by a woman who took my order, great service from the start. The two women working were doing everything themselves, from taking orders to making the food fresh, and still kept things moving at a very reasonable pace. I ordered the shrimp burrito with light rice and got the chipotle sauce on the side. They also have a CLEAN self serve bar with salsas, cucumbers, and limes, which is always a nice touch. The burrito was huge and so good. My plan was to eat half in the car and save the rest for later... but I ended up sitting in the parking lot and finishing the whole thing. Every bite had perfectly seasoned shrimp, no skimping at all. The interior is clean, minimal, and has plenty of seating. 10/10, definitely recommend.
