    We come here almost every week and it never disappoints!!!!! We have introduced a lot of friends to this location and haven't had one complaint about the food!!

    Gordo Burrito

    Well...nothing out of the ordinary from the run of the mill Mexican restaurant except for the abomination known as Golden Peak sweet tea. Literally sweet tea from Mexican restaurants being really sweet is why I love Mexican. Besides the tea, it was just ok. The salsa was the part I enjoyed the most. It was more of a thin, vinegary salsa. Queso was what you would expect - white melted cheese. For my entree, I had the Gordo burrito. This burrito was gigantic and stuffed with meat, sour cream, tomatoes, and topped with queso and green sauce. I chose pork thinking it was going to be more like pulled pork but was closer to hamburger meat. I did like the fact it was in some kind of Mexican sauce conglomeration. Overall, it was just your ok run of the mill Mexican restaurant with sub-par sweet tea.

    Friday night, not bad, only a 15 min wait for a table of 3. Great service from the servers and runners with chips, salsa, and drinks. 4 of 5 stars only because my pork steak was a bit overcooked - they should let it finish cooking on the sizzling plate, rather than letting it get tough. Love the decor, especially the hand-painted chairs. Prices are really reasonable, as I'm from So Cal where it would've been 25% more.

    Used shell they sent with my food and yes it was broken when I got it

    We placed an order for dinner. My husband went to pick it up and when he got home we realized we were missing a Cheesy Steak Taco dinner with shells on the sides. I called and they said to come in and apologized. I went to pick up the order and checked it before leaving. It was wrong again. I waited till they got it right. I got home and u wrapped my hard shells and to my surprise they gave me a used hard shell. It clearly had either chicken or pork on it. That is nasty. We will not be going back.

    Tried a couple of times and the tortillas had mold on them. No thanks. Not sure why so many people wait in line to get in.
