This restaurant is extremely popular and offers a food selection reminiscent of Chipotle. The atmosphere is vibrant, with great music that adds to the experience.

Picking up deliveries here has become soooooo bad. I have no idea why it takes so long to put together 1 burrito, but this place makes sure it’s 10 minutes per burrito. Sometimes there are 6-7 employees literally just standing there, 1 working to go. Wait times are just awful no matter what time of the week.Whoever owns this place, why don’t you sign on to Uber or door dash and try to pickup orders from your own restaurant and see how you like waiting 15 minutes to make $2. You can also adjust your pickup times on the app so you are not constantly screwing over every single driver. One more thing, if you’d like, I can come in and show your employees how to make a burrito in under 15 minutes. Get it together. And owner, seriously sign on to Uber and see how bad your restaurant screws over drivers.

The atmosphere definitely has a college vibe. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and it was surprisingly good!

The food was tasty, but it unfortunately sent me to the bathroom for half an hour afterward. I also have a strong suspicion that the chicken was old, as there were bits of meat in my burrito that were as hard as rocks.
