This place is awesome! Like a locally owned, cooler version of Chipotle. Sparkling water and beer options in the fridge, stickers on the walls in the bathroom, and a good mix of oldies and pop hits playing - Dolly Parton, Train, The Temptations, etc. There are lots of options for toppings and vegetables, and all the meat looked fresh. You can get queso and all the toppings in your bowl for free - only guacamole is extra. I got steak and each bite was tender - unlike when I go to Chipotle. Lots of food in the bowl, and staff was friendly and walked us through how to order. I would come again!

Raw steak...lunch over.

Went for a quick lunch, ordered the steak burrito to go....and ohh my...never again I think the owners/staff need refreshers on food safety as I got several barely cooked and one very RAW piece of steak in my burrito (see pic). This is disgusting and unsafe. Rare is fine..if it was brought up to a safe internal temperature....no way this could have happened with this piece of steak. I will never be back, nor will I recommend this place. I simply cannot believe that this happened, and I hope I do not get seriously ill.

I like the food a lot but the times I've been in the workers have been incredibly rude and standoffish

Food was OK. The prices were very reasonable. Decor is cute, but overall lacking in cleanliness. Average service.

Nice, clean restaurant. Kind of set up like Chipotle's without the leftist baggage. Good food, and the staff are very friendly.

I was a little worried because there wasn't anyone else in there, we may have just been in at an off time. It did fill up as we were leaving. The waiter was very nice and patient as we looked over the menu. There were tons of options, but they didn't have a combo plate which is usually my go to. The chips seemed like they were home made and the salsa was delicious. We decided on the shredded beef flautas, enchilada rojo, and steak and chorizo street taco. The flautas were good and had a nice crisp to them. The beans that came with them were a little dry, but the rice was really good. The enchilada was good. The sauce was a little on the sweet side and could have had a little more cheese in it. The street taco was ok, I don't know if it was the steak or the chorizo, but I didn't like the seasoning on one of them. Over all it was good. I liked that they had a lot of lettuce for garnish on the plate, so it gave it a nice "fresh" component. We will definitely return!

Atmosphere - Another cafeteria style build your meal type restaurant.  Very modern vibe, with some nice seating outside so we enjoyed our lunch with our dog. Lunch - A few choices on the menu, and of course I went with the burrito.  I love a great burrito.  Two huge spoonfuls of brown rice then topped with another two large spoonfuls of black beans.  That is a lot of filler.  Then I had my choice of proteins, I had the steak.  Cubed meat was tender, it was a actually really good but lacked seasoning.  The menu does not include any "spiced" meats such as carne asada or barbacoa.  I picked the pico de gallo, I was hoping for some heat but lucky to even tastes the tomatoes.  Then some fresh cilantro.  Overall the burrito was huge but lacked flavor and did not hold my interest. Service - A team worked the line, we started with the manager.  He was polite and friendly.  Then he passed us off to other team members.  Cashing out was easy. Future - Probably not, just because of the location.  I am just not in this part of the country very much.
