    This was a great spot to stop in at! We googled breakfast burritos around the area and found this place with lots of great reviews on the burritos and since that's what we were craving, we decided to give it a go. Always nerve wrecking to try a new place, but we were very happy with our experience. Kind service, great burrito, close to where we were and great space.

    Chorizo Breakfast Burrito

    Excellent breakfast burrito. Came out HOT. Flavorful, mild chorizo with an excellent tasting tortilla. Friendly service, clean location with seating inside and outside as well. Two ice cold full bottles of salsa were brought to our table along with our burrito. So glad we stopped.

    Chorizo Plate

    I was hesitant to try here due to mixed reviews but I'm glad I did! I had the Chorizo Plate for breakfast which comes with mix of chorizo and eggs, potatoes, beans and tortillas (corn or flour). The employee said they make their chorizo in house so had to try it out! It was good, but could use a bit more flavor. The potatoes were bland, no flavor. They also give you salsa bottles when dining in. The green salsa was spicy and the red was mild and perfect for me, which was funny since it's normally opposite. We also got a Pineapple Empanada to share and it was delicious. I wish there were more baked goods but they only had the fruit empanadas and some cookies. The restaurant is clean and the prices were decent. I will come back again to try more dishes!

    Absolutely amazing!! We come typically once a week. Today we grabbed some catering because it's too hot to cook. They're so friendly here, definitely a mom and pop shop to the fullest. Comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, gorgeous art work. The food hits like nanas, it's untouchable. Highly recommended 100%

    Disappointing. We've been here before, but the food was disappointing this time. Not sure what changed, but the simple yet vibrant flavors of traditional Mexican food was missing. It was bland and lifeless. They are a bit pricey, so they need to perform better. Another meal like this, and I will cross them off my list. There are too many options in the valley to eat lifeless Mexican food.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. There was a group of servers standing around chatting, and no one acknowledged us for several minutes. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes before a server came over just to offer water and ask about drinks. We placed our drink order, and while the coffee came in a carafe, it wasn't even hot. The rest of the drinks trickled out later. Then it was another 20+ minutes before the server came back to take our food order. We ordered two simple build-your-own breakfasts and an Ultimate Grilled Cheese (no fries), plus two Cobb salads to go. Nothing complicated--yet the food took a long time to come out. During that entire wait, our server never checked on us once. No updates, no refills, nothing. When the food finally arrived, we ate, and again--no check-in, no "how is everything," no refill offers. Eventually, she dropped the check off without a word. We had to remind her about the two Cobb salads we ordered to go. She said they'd be right out, and a couple minutes later they showed up with a revised bill. Before leaving, we checked the salads--and that was the final straw. For $18, they were basically side salads. No cheese, no grilled chicken, no avocado, no croutons, no green onions, and not even any hard boiled eggs--just iceberg lettuce, a few tomatoes, bacon, and ranch dressing. Completely unacceptable for what's supposed to be a Cobb salad. We waited at the table for about 5 minutes for someone to come back--no one did. So we went up front and stood there another 5 minutes while multiple staff members ignored us, continuing their closing routines. Not a single person asked if we needed help, and our server was nowhere to be found. At that point, we left the salads behind, paid for the rest of the meal, and walked out. Terrible service from start to finish, and the food quality didn't make up for it. We won't be back.

I ordered the breakfast nachos with beans and subbed the shredded pork for bacon. It was a lot of food. It was delicious though very much a chilaquile type dish. The chips are house made and very crunchy. I tried the cookie butter French toast which was made into a platter. This includes eggs, bacon, and potatoes. The French toast does have that fried flavor to it which isn't my favorite but it was good. Definitely a different type than typical smashed looking French toast dishes at breakfast spots. These were stacked and fluffy. The service was quick and once you order you choose where to sit which is nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating with bathrooms available as well. Overall can't wait to go again!

However the service put a terrible taste in our mouths. We came in on April 26th around 10 am and the women at the front taking orders was the least friendly person I have encountered in awhile let alone someone who's in the service industry. She seemed very inconvenienced to be there and made us feel very rushed ordering. (There was only one person behind us & we were not taking that long) Again absolutely love the food but I would unfortunately rethink you you have at the front of your establishment "greeting" paying customers.

The service stood out immediately--our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything arrived quickly and exactly as ordered. The food itself was hearty and satisfying. The steak breakfast was cooked well and paired perfectly with the traditional breakfast sides. The Shasta Scramble was flavorful and filling, and the drinks were kept refreshed throughout the meal.

Always hoping a local recommendation turns out great. *Service: the service was fair. Our waitress spent most of the time sitting in the booth across from us on her phone and checked in occasionally. A few times we had to ask for things we needed. Nothing rude, just not especially attentive or engaged. Definitely didn't feel like her #1 priority. *Food: I ordered the tuna *melt*. It was alright, but nothing to write home about. The tuna itself was relatively cold (should have been warm on a melt) and lacked flavor, the cheese wasn't melted (it's a "melt", right?), and the bread was good. I dipped and drenched in salt, pepper, ranch and hot sauce to give it some flavor. The fries were good, hot and tasty. Overall, it felt like a mid-level café sandwich made by a basic "cook", not a well curated restaurant sandwich. My lunch buddy ordered a smothered omelette that looked great, and he said it was very good, so that was good. *Ambiance: the atmosphere was decent. Very basic, a bit cold feeling, café-like, casual, and reasonably comfortable. Nothing stood out strongly other than it seemed pretty clean and bright. *Value: my tuna melt and fries, with no drink, was $16. Not great, not terrible. It felt like an $8-$10 sandwich max for what I got, not a standout value. I posted a picture of their specials board so you can get a feel for the value. *Overall: everything here was fair, food, service, and ambiance while value was not great. Nothing bad, nothing memorable. A three-star experience for me. I wouldn't rush back, but wouldn't avoid it if I was in the area and others wanted to go. *Update: I have a strong reputation for detailed, honest, and trustworthy reviews. What we experienced is accurately and honestly captured in this review. There were no misunderstandings, our experience is captured exactly as reviewed. Any responses attempting to paint a different picture are not accurate.
