I pulled in and compadres was very busy not only with walk in traffic but online orders as well. To my surprise it wasset up like a Qdoba or a chipotle so I was super excited for a restaurant like this in London.I waited about 15 minutes beforeit was my turn to order. I ordered the steak burrito with beans, rice, shredded cheese, queso, lettuce tomato, sour cream andhot salsa or sauce. I excitedly watched the gentleman behind the counter roll my burrito up and put it in a to go pan. I paidand walked outside to my truck to try the burrito. After opening the bag I discovered that the tortilla had ripped in the sidewhich wasn't a big issue until I tried to pick up the burrito which was all but impossible. Idk if they didn't warm my tortillaup long enough or what but it just wasnt what I'm accustomed to from other burrito shops. May have been because they were busyand had a line of people behind me but to me being handheld is an important feature to a burrito. Although the portion of steakthat they put into my burrito was pretty hefty the steak was rather tough and under seasoned. The hot sauce was non existentwhich was another disappointment. The rest of the burrito was on par or better than other burrito establishments. The queso wasmelty and rich the vegetables were fresh and crisp. I will probably try this restaurant again and hope that I have a betterexperience. The people behind the counter seemed like they loved what they were doing and were really attentive to customerservice. Like I said at the beginning I WANT (NEED) to be able to love this place just my first experience wasn't the best...Sadly.

I had my order to-go yesterday and the food was amazing (steak burrito, chips+salsa) and it was easily my favorite Mexican food in London, El Dorado probably being my secondand previous favorite. This time I ate dine-in and the fella behind the counter recognized me and thanked me for my 5 starreview from the previous day, he told me it is just him and his wife running the place and they take weekends off to spend timewith the kids as a family. I love the mom-and-pop business spirit and on top of that the food is absolutely amazing and evenbetter when dining in. Everything is immaculately clean and an all around great place for lunch. They definitely deserve asecond 5 star review, I will be coming back for sure and thank the owners for an amazing experience.

Great food and super friendly service. Good to support a locally owned establishment. read more Great food and super friendly service. Good to support a locally owned establishment.
