Breakfast was delish. Huge Burrito. They got a cool Claw Machine with nice toys. You can win a grand prize if you find the key. Kinda cool!

Absolutely love this place. Great food and service. Didn't get a chance to take photos of the tacos because I ate them so quickly but look at this beautiful strawberry cake. Stellar food all around.

Best tacos I’ve had in the Pacific Northwest! The Al pastor tacos were incredible.

If you've never been here you need to. Hard to find a large, delicious burrito for 9 nowadays. The ingredients are quality. The salsas they provide are so good! The red has this delicious smoky flavor to it, and the avocado salsa is so perfectly made, creamy and mellow, with avocado being the main flavor instead of being drowned out with lime or cilantro. And best of all the ingredients are proportional, and the whole burrito was HOT all the way through! Not too much rice which can really ruin a burrito. This place deserves your business! Please support them.
