And of course, I have to get the strawberry sprite to go with my burrito bowl. The first time I had ever ordered here the employee offered to put my tortilla in the bowl under my burrito ingredients and I've never looked back. I rip off one piece at a time. Give it a go. It's always clean and modern in design. The service is great. They want to get the order right and ask all the right questions to make sure it is. I do like that they make it in front of you for customization. I downloaded their app and I have to sign in every time and just isn't instantly easy to get to and I never feel like it gets me very far. I'm not sure if I've ever been able to cash in. Maybe I need to go there more but I have been going for years. Just don't go there for the rewards that are all I'm saying.

The manager, Oscar, kept helping customers in store and did not bring out the food until 12:05 pm. In addition, he refused to give us a bowls for a family meal. Stating 'no, it doesn't come with bowls'. So we spend $120 and can't have bowls to eat our food? Yeah, sorry. Further, he forgot part of the order. Oscar treated us like he was mad to be working and didn't care at all about helping customers. When I called back, he again refused to help and said to call someone else to refund the money for the missed items. Terrible customer service. I would have been better off with regular workers and not Oscar the 'manager' who opts for losing business so he can keep bowls.

They are open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and 11 pm all other days, so they are a good spot to check out if you're looking for a late dinner or snack! It is a relatively casual spot! You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table if you're doing dine in. They have burgers, hot dogs, tacos, burritos, and more, and they do have a couple of vegan and vegetarian items on their menu! I went with esquite and the vegan tacos! This was my first time having soy curls as my protein alternative for tacos, and I did enjoy the chewy texture! It came with 2 salsas on the side, which both have a little bit of a kick to them, although the salsa verde is the milder of the two. The salsas are both delicious! It is not my number 1 taco (as someone who prefers a mushroom taco), but I would definitely get it again! As for the esquite: this one had A LOT of queso cotija, but could have used a bit more chile de arbol! With that being said, esquite will always taste good, and I do love when places offer both elote and esquite! Overall takeaway is that this is a good spot open relatively late offering both Mexican and American foods and a few vegetarian/vegan options!

We went back today because we were craving this place, and it felt like the perfect Sunday…read moreafternoon lunch. I'm really happy to say that things have improved since my last visit and review. That said, it's still not quite a perfect 5 out of 5 for me. First, they seem to have ditched the service fee. My understanding is that service fees are no longer allowed in Minnesota, so I was expecting them to replace it with a credit card fee. I'm happy to say there was no service fee, no credit card fee, or anything else. The price of the food is the price you pay, plus tax and tip. That is so refreshing to see in 2026 and automatically earns this restaurant an extra star from me. The food is still the best part of this restaurant. I'm sure they're sourcing ingredients from the same places as everyone else, but somehow their flavors are extraordinary. This time I got the Pollo Sonora, and I honestly don't have any complaints. It was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. They still offer free chips and salsa, which I love because not every Mexican restaurant does that anymore (Chula's in Prior Lake, I'm looking at you). It's nice to see they still include them. This time around, though, I didn't enjoy the white sauce as much. I'm not sure if it changed or if my tastes have changed. The red salsa was fantastic, but I really wish it had been colder. It was more warm or lukewarm, which just wasn't what I was expecting or wanting. My wife got one of the weekend lunch specials for $10.99: a beef enchilada and a beef burrito. She had no complaints. I was honestly impressed that they still offer lunch specials on weekends. We also ordered the large queso appetizer for $10.99. I intentionally ordered the large because I assumed we'd have leftovers to take home. However, the "large" is really more of a medium-sized portion. I'm 6 feet tall, had just finished a workout, and hadn't eaten much that day. My wife was also very hungry. We ended up eating almost the entire thing. For $10.99, I was expecting a noticeably larger portion, so that was a little disappointing. I don't even want to know how many calories we ate just from the queso....but I still think the large should be larger for $10.99. The service also improved compared to my last visit, but I still don't think it's on the same level as many other restaurants. In my previous review, I mentioned that service was the biggest issue, and if you read other reviews, you'll notice it's a recurring theme. This time our waiter did ask if we needed drink refills, which was an improvement. However, service still felt a little slow, and at times it seemed like he was trying to avoid extra trips or additional questions. For example, when he took our drink order, he immediately started walking away. We had to quickly stop him because we also wanted to order an appetizer. At that point we were ready to order our entrées too, but since he didn't ask, we only ordered the appetizer. Later he came back and asked if we were ready to order our entrées. By then we'd eaten almost all of our chips, and he could clearly see the basket was nearly empty. Instead of asking if we'd like another basket, I had to ask for more chips. That's not a huge deal, but it's just not what I'm used to. At most Mexican restaurants, if the server notices your chips are gone, they'll usually offer another basket without being asked. I realize that's a bit nitpicky, but I mention it because it's been a recurring pattern during past visits. The bathrooms were mostly clean, the sinks are pretty cool, and the men's restroom has a baby changing station. The prices aren't amazing, but they're not terrible either. If you're looking for the cheapest Mexican food around, this probably isn't the place. But if you're looking for fantastic flavors and a nice atmosphere, it's absolutely worth trying. I would still recommend this restaurant to friends and family, and I know my wife and I will be back. We're just not rushing to return. They're so close to being a truly perfect restaurant.

They give you appetizers of chips, red salsa, and some kind of mayonnaise based dip. Beware because it'll get you gluttonous very quickly. All in all - it's what you expected for a Mexican restaurant. The food was quick, hot, and the service was kind and prompt enough to a bunch of gringos. A nitpick - the women's bathroom had 1 of 2 stalls out and seemed to need attention, hope they get that fixed. My only complaint was for two fajita platters, a nacho supreme, one tea, and one Sprite, and one bowl of guacamole and queso came to $120 after tax. Seems steep to me? (Hence four stars) At least the food didn't suck, which would I have made it sting. Try them out!

Every now and then, the heater bins behind the counter look a little... shall we say... end-of-days? Like the food's been sitting there contemplating the meaning of life for a bit too long. But hey, we've never gotten sick. As for the restaurant itself--sometimes it gives off "needs a mop and maybe a motivational speech" vibes. And occasionally the staff looks a lottle (yes, that's a little but a LOT) unprofessional (colored hair and nose rings), but most of the time you can look right past these things because the food is good.
