My girlfriend said they have the best burritos so I went over to give them a try during the lunch hour.
The line was reasonable but long so I was excited to try them out.
I couldn't tell if they do cash and card but I took cash to be safe.
I saw a lot of tortas coming out!! I almost changed what I went for but stuck to trying the burrito. They are quick and lively which is nice.
The cashier was nice and helpful.
Ordering process is smooth and I did takeout.
When I got home I dug into my order.
I ordered 2 asada burritos one with veggies one without and 2 asada tacos with extra lemon.
They were spot on with my order.
Woo-hoo!! Okay now the order... The asada tacos are just okay for me.
I know they have won the taco throw down in the past and go back and forth with La Elegante for best tacos in Fresno so I give them much respect! They are Fresno legends but i am not a fan.
On to my issue and why I won't be back... The tacos were okay.
Just average for me (I'm an asada taco self-professed connoisseur).
The burrito is what I went for.
They grill the burrito shell which is perfect! The lettuce and tomatoes don't warm up so you still get the veggies taste.
I don't think the veggies do anything for the burrito.
You could easily do a regular burrito no veggies (add sour cream) and get more flavor imo. The Meat!! Here is where I won't be back.
I bit into some strange things from the grill THROUGHOUT my burrito.
Both burritos.
I finally took a video of it because I couldn't believe my entire burrito was riddled with...burnt grill.
I called to advise the manager to tell the cooks that they need to be cautious not to serve burnt grill matter and pass it off as meat because someone could get sick.
They offered me to come get a refund (which i should have spending $30 bucks on 2 tacos and 2 burritos with bad meat) but because I do understand small business said no just tell the cooks to be cautious with orders. What I didn't like was the response I got.
I wasn't asking for a refund I just wanted the cooks to be safe and cautious with people's food.
The line was too long for this to be the norm but for some reason mine was awful.
I was polite and smiled the entire time.
They served several orders that came in after mine but my order eventually came out as I patiently waited and BAM it was a total disaster.
I am sharing the video as I would want to know and that's why I do lengthy reviews.
I will not be back nor can I recommend.


Whoaaaa ...this was the best burrito everrr...bacon wrapped burrito! Phenomenal is the best I have ever had.
So fulling! I will definitely go back as often as I can! We also bought a torta.
However, I was so full eating just half of my burrito ...
🌯 trust me, this is the best!You have to go! THE BEST!


Delicious tacos! They don't skimp, tacos were well filled.
It wasn't busy inside but we did wait awhile for our take away order because they seem to take a lot of phone orders with people coming in for pick up.
If you know what you want, call ahead.
We were looking for quesabirria, they don't have.
Told they do at other location just on Thursdays.
The place may be unassuming, but don't be intimidated, one of the best taco places!
