    chicken and rice in a styrofoam container

    I've been eating here for years now, they used to have huge servings but it seems they have cut down recently. Especially one worker, he only works at night but every time I go I get half the servings versus if I go during the day. He's always got some kind of attitude which I've turned around sometimes if I see him working. If it wasn't for that one worker, I'd have no complaints and would actually tip the workers.

    We decided to try this place for lunch! It is an order at the counter Mexican restaurant with a service style similar to chipotle or qdoba. Their menu was much bigger than either of the chains and the prices were similar. I was impressed with the number of toppings the had. For example I added black olives to my burrito which aren't typically available at the chains. I got a beef burrito which was way too big to finish! The girl making it was super generous with fillings! They have a kids menu, so my niece and nephew were able to get what they wanted for a bargain price. The only thing that I would critique is that I felt the chips were subpar. We didn't have an issue with parking as we visited on Sunday at lunch time, but I could see parking being a challenge so near to campus during the week and/or evening. This is definitely a place to try! We will be back!!

    Very fast service and good food. This is a delicious fast-casual restaurant that is open most nights until 3 AM. I have gone multiple times and have never been disappointed. They have a rewards system that texts you coupons for food at least once or twice a week. The food is fresh and always really good, I especially like the pork and shredded beef. The queso is typical queso that can be expected at any Mexican restaurant. The have 4 different types of salsa, which seem to be a big hit. The workers are very friendly and efficient. This is my go-to mexican restaurant if I'm wanting quick and decent food.

    Regular burrito.

    Horrible customer service. Very overpriced. The food is mediocre. And the atmosphere in general is cringy.

    Food is always good and they aren't stingy. They have started charging 3+% to use your credit card.

    Great authentic Mexican fast food. Great salsas, meat choices, toppings etc. Right mid-town Ball State University. Informal and quick.

    Instead, it's a simple quick service place with seating (think Qdoba or Chipotle, but fresher).

    Live reaction: just got here and ordered a jumbo frozen raspberry margarita. They just so happened…read moreto have a special today for the house jumbo margs! $8.50 on a Thursday! What a coincidence! I'm waiting for my food now (Thai chili boneless wings w blue cheese). OMG HERE COMES THE SPICY CHEESE CURDS!!! they smell so good! My bf just moaned taking a bite. Now my turn! Mmmmm wow. Very very good. Now the food just came!! Wings are yummy, they didn't forget the blue cheese or nothing which a lot of places dooo! My bf got the house pizza and it looks good affff. "Despite not being a pizza place, the pizza is bussin" is what he said. Now imma take a bite! Wow it was really good. Maybe not the best for people who love thin crispy pizza but ooey gooey pizza which I happen to love so much!! Now back to the marg. I'm drunk and have had half of a jumbo. It's strong but it's so delicious at the same time! I did have a daily frozen marg on the way walking over (5% alcohol) but damn! Wow we will definitely be coming back. Don't think of it as a Mexican restaurant and you will have a much better experience. Think of white people making bussin margs in mason jars because that's what it is. Bill was around $70 after the tip in total. $35 for a great time. Overall great and amazing. Wow!

    A place named margaritas to go, with a full pizza menu and wings as the featured item? Confusing…read more But ok. Got the street burrito. Dry as the drywall laying all over the place. Pretty flavorless. A white burrito served on a white plate with no sides, veg or garnish. The lady got the wings. Definitely store bought nuggets with hilariously plain sauce. Those two things and a coke cost me 20 bucks ish. So not terrible. But I won't be coming back. Plain food. Booths that have the name of another Mexican restaurant on them. Our server was on his phone most of our meal. The other server was checking herself in her phone most of the time. A solid "no thanks".
