First time in here and I was blown away, by the service and the food! Ordered the Oregon burrito and dang it was huge and great! The several different salsas were incredible as well. I've eaten at alot of Mexican food place and this ranks up there with the best ones!

Place is AMAZING and I’m picky when it comes to (faster) Mexican food. It’s hardly ever; that the food and salsa’s get better when you come in. New to me, is their salsa bar which has an awesome selection, including the spicy carrots etc. My new favorite is a creamy habanero sauce paired with their Super Burrito w/asada! I should add that I’m not a habanero fan at all, but they did it right on this one for sure! Also amazing is their creamy jalapeño/guac!? I’ll definitely be back!

Good food, GIANT portions, good prices. This place will give Rigo Berto a run for the money. It's kinda hard to get to, you need to be traveling west in a vehicle. Great salsa bar.

I work at 4am at walmart so my lunch is at 8am, as many people know almost no restraunts are open let alone serve lunch at 8am. But I found this taco shop and figured I would give it a try, first impression was wow there affordable and really nice, 2-3 impression was extremely great one of the employees wasn't very fluent in English but he was the nicest gentlemen to work with and threw in extra sauses and apologized several times. But I had absolutely no problem with the language barrier he pulled out his phone and translated what he was trying to explain which to me is extremely professional because instead of getting rude like other restraunts would do he found a way to work around that barrier, great respect for this restraunt will be my new daily place to eat and when my family wants
