    My friends and I often stop by here around 9:30 after playing pickleball on Friday nights. It's counter service and the turnaround for food is between 5-15 minutes. I have had their ceviche tostada in the past - not very good. Today I tried the shrimp super burrito. I felt it was much better than the tostada, but not necessarily the best Mexican food I've ever had. A reason I'm giving 5 stars is because the staff is very accommodating. We have arrived with 10-12 people before, and they have not hesitated to help us bring tables together to sit with each other. It's open till 11pm, which is nice because most local spots close at 10pm around there.

    INCONCEIVABLE! For the life of me I cannot understand how this place has 3.6 stars. I am from Seattle so maybe the Mexican food is on a different plane down here? I ordered the #6, "Wet Burrito Green", carnitas. It took maybe 5-10 minutes to be ready. AND IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BURRITOS OF MY LIFE. Out of thousands and thousands of burritos, this was top 20 for sure, no lie. It wasn't very spicy so I Tapatio'd it up. Deeeeee lish. Don't sleep on this place. Street parking at 2pm was not too hard to find.

    I stopped by here to pick up a burrito for my partner late weekday night. It was really easy to find parking. The person at the counter was friendly and the service is prompt. Got the super burrito carnitas. My partner said it was the best burrito he has had in a long time. We revisited this place today. This time we got a veggie burrito and a super burrito carnitas. Their meat burritos are consistently excellent. I took away a star because I am a vegetarian. And I asked for a burrito with no rice. My burrito had rice in it and it didn't have much of anything other filling. The veggie burrito is advertised to include guacamole. I didn't find any guacamole in my burrito. So was a bit disappointed with the vegetarian burrito.

    This is my mom's favorite taqueria and it's slowly becoming mine. I've had the food here on more than one occasion and it's been pretty consistent. Today I had a california burrito with hot sauce. The burrito was great, very filling, but the hot sauce I got was all heat and not much flavor. Had a horchata to go with it which was just the right sweet. I also had the churros here which are made fresh and are nice and soft in the center which I really like. The service here was a little slow since we showed up during peak lunch time. If you plan on swinging by, keep in mind that this place and the parking lot (which is tiny btw) tend to get busy. The restaurant has indoor seating as well as outdoor seating in the back underneath the trees which is really nice. Overall, a great taqueria IMO.
