Haven't been there in years (since they moved location) and really looked forward to my favorite smothered bean burrito deluxe! (& a tostada on the side) Although the green chili was way spicier than usual, I still enjoyed it and look forward to going again.The place is still family owned and operated.
If there was a pictuere definition of a "mom & pop" place, this would be it. Once you enter here, there is an air of hole-in-the-wall eatery you only get from stores like this; small and welcoming.The people there were also really quite friendly and inviting. The food is definitely something basic, but those basics are delicious.Standard, routine burritos are reasonably priced and spiced just right for this green guy. Could have asked for sour cream, but that's just me.
I work fairly close so I frequently get their breakfast burritos.I always order a bacon breakfast burrito.Every time it is amazing! Great size for the value.If you are a cheese lover tho, cheese is not standard in their burritos which I like.Their green chile is actually green chile and not some flour based stew like plenty of other places.Highly recommend this place!
