It looks like a hole in the wall type restaurant from outside but it is a nice enough atmosphere (not fancy but comfy) with very tasty food with a nice menu. Lots of options. Guacamole was well made and well-spiced. Clean. Pleasant staff. Street parking. View all feedback.
I have brought four different people to this restaurant to try the food. I absolutely love the rice! I usually stick to tacos, rice with chips and salsa. I have never had a bad experience here. The rice is always fresh and fluffy, and the meat tastes fresh and is never tough. The staff is very sweet, and even though I am not fluent in Spanish and some of them are not fluent in English, they still find a way to connect and communicate. I love the atmosphere here, you can taste the spirit!
I decided to try their steak burrito, which was packed with delicious meat and wrapped perfectly. The coffee was mild but satisfying. We were quickly seated by the friendly staff. However, I was disappointed to learn that management does not allow tipping on credit or debit cards. This policy leaves waitresses without tips unless customers go to an ATM to get cash. I believe management should update this policy to reflect modern times.
