Wow, impressed by the flavors and portion of the food that the two of us ordered here. It's a budget eat but the service and food were genuinely good. First time eating at this spot for the evening and I'm basically satisfied. Note: many customers started to roll in at drive thru around the evening. I'd recommend going before 8.30 pm.

I've read good reviews and bad reviews about the food and the service, so I figured I'd stop by since I was already in town for the Rocket 88 Car Show at the Junípero Serra Convention Center out on Berryessa rd. I ordered 2 of the Jumbo Mexican Hotdogs with everything, and got a big surprise...and, I'll tell you those jumbo tacos were fire on the flour tortillas! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆'s for those tacos!

Worst Bean & Cheese burrito I have ever had. It was literally a log of cold cheap cheese with a tiny bit of beans. Look at my picture just a rolled up log of store shredded cheese. Green salsa was bland and watery. The staff where nice and the little outdoor patio was clean and nice. Im not a fancy guy but I could not finish this burrito it went right in the trash.

Food was good, outdoor is fine, however they charged fee for paying using credit card 💳 service was OK, really there is no service. Clean after your own mess. Parking 🅿️ is limited to 2 - 3 cars only. Mainly to go orders.

Avoid. Read the other comments about service. They are true. These are uneducated people with no respect for clients. My family has been coming here for many months now mostly out of convenience and always felt the bad attitude but dismissed it since it’s a quick grab and go. But today they messed up the order and marked as veggie the fish burrito. When I asked about it they insinuated that I was trying to profit by having eaten 1/5 of the burrito before noticing and told me to give it to my wife since she’s my wife and that would be okay. When I asked to redo both since the veggie one (marked as fish) looked off and when tried to bring her attention to how serious this mistake is since I could have allergies, she went completely nuts and started to say she refused service. Eventually I was able to get the fish one redone but then she said not to come back. I even tried to reason and apologized if I sounded too angry but she closed the window on my face and my wife’s too. I can’t really express here how low level this interaction was. Probably the worst I’ve experienced at any restaurant. Best way to describe is how other folks put it - felt like ghetto. But I’m glad she’s ref
