Alvaro G: Great fish tacos, vegetarian options on all entries. Great value and awesome food. Cash only.
Matty Herzberg: Veggie burrito and fish tacos are great!
Peter McQueen: There's a lot to like but you can't go wrong with a carne asada burrito. If you're getting a taco make sure to ask for the homemade tortilla. My favorite is the fish taco. And don't forget the salsa!
