I really appreciated the kindness and friendly attitude of who I assumed was the manager or owner. He helped make our experience enjoyable. I had the shrimp ceviche and managed to eat the whole plate. The burritos looked amazing. There was a large seating area all indoors. It looked clean and inviting. The only downside was the salsa was a little thinner than I prefer but that is a personal preference which would not keep me from coming back another day.

You get a basket of chips and a bowl of salsa when you are seated which was very nice. The salsa was very good, not spicy at all, which I prefer more spice but for those who don't prefer a lot it was good. I had a chicken chimichanga which came with Spanish rice, refried beans and the lettuce and tomatoes on the side. The chimichanga has a white cheese cream sauce on top. This place is clean, it is an older building so it's expected to have flaws. There is a good sized bar just past the seating area. I will be going again soon, so I will try more food and update this post.
