During our recent road trip, we were craving tacos, so I used my Yelp! app to find a spot in the area. That's how we ended up here. My wife enjoyed two carnitas tacos, and I had the burrito. Both were tasty and satisfying--no complaints at all. I'd definitely recommend this place and would return in the future.

Fabulous family owned fast casual restaurant with personable service. Homemade and fast turnaround so can skip nearby drive throughs. The carnitas are moist and flavorful without being greasy or salty. They use whole avocados In burritos. Will now be a regular stop when exit highway 88 on way to or coming back from Nevada.

We had a great experience ordering catering for my son's birthday party. We were referred and went in to try the food first. Tucked away in a small shopping center. The woman gave us a free taco to sample with the salsa. We did order for 50 people (25lbs) and it came with the catering size rice & beans + 2 salsas (SO good). It was around $350. The quality is great! The customer service put it over the top. We will definitely order again!

So skimpy ‍

Our table was right next to a metal utility rack they were using to store menus and cleaning products. That's fine, but my head was close to a spray bottle and a bottle of Lysol, which wasn't ideal. They were very busy, so we had high hopes for great food. Unfortunately, many of the items were bland. The beans and rice were especially underwhelming, with very little flavor--you can tell from the picture that the rice is basically plain white rice. My flautas were crunchy with fresh toppings, but the meat lacked flavor. My meal came with a bowl of fideo, but it wasn't delivered before my meal like it was for other tables. In fact, I had to ask for it after our food arrived, which makes me think I wouldn't have received it otherwise. After we finished eating, it took about 15 minutes to get our check. The servers were clearly very busy, but it would have been nice to leave sooner. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back. The noise level was overwhelming, and the food was just okay. If I did return, I wouldn't order anything that comes with beans and rice.

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE! I ordered El Grullito through DoorDash and while the food arrived relatively…read morequickly, I honestly feel like I got screwed. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and specifically selected their options to include salsa verde and extra on the side -- it was completely non-existent. Not even a little. I also selected no lettuce, yet it came with lettuce anyway. Why even offer customization options if you're not going to honor them? Dry and somewhat bland food. To make matters worse, the burrito was tiny for the price. It was basically all rice, hardly any meat, and definitely not worth what I paid. I laughed at the fact they gave me a little bag with one cut up radish slice. Who does that? This was a total miss. I thought maybe they'd be different this time, but nope -- same experience as the first time. Never coming here again.

I'm convinced the only reason this place is still in business is because they stay open late. The…read morefood is mediocre, the prices are ridiculous, and the worst part by far is the service. It feels like they intentionally hire staff with the worst attitudes--at this location and every other one I've tried. I almost ALWAYS have an issue when I go. I avoid this place whenever I can, but sometimes it ends up being a last resort. When they mess up my order, they somehow blame me and refuse to remake anything. They are completely RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL to customers. For example, I specifically asked for salsa on the side for my tacos, and they gave me tacos practically drowning in salsa. When I went back to get them remade, they flat-out refused. I had no choice but to eat tacos soaked in red salsa. And if the terrible service isn't enough, their rationing of limes, jalapeños, and salsas is the cherry on top. I've ordered plenty of food from here, and they're unbelievably stingy with the sides. They hand out what can only be described as crumbs--and considering how much they charge, it feels like an insult. It's giving soup kitchen vibes, they most certainly make you feel like you're there getting a handout. So unless this place is also your last resort, AVOID IT. You'd get better service at McDonald's down the street...
