    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.

    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.

Only complaint I have: we had a bit of a larger group (9 people) , so I was not able to add myself to wait list from the website. I was instructed to call which I did multiple times and never got an answer. We showed up and unfortunately had to wait an hour because no one answered the phones to accommodate the call ahead. I understand it was busy, but maybe designate someone up front to answer the phones so this doesn't happen!

My husband and I enjoy kicking off our Sunday close to the opening hour at 7am. We eat a delicious breakfast option inside first. My husband orders a breakfast sandwich while I don't just like but LOVE the avacado toast. If available, we take our coffee and sit outside on the patio. The coffee is full bodied and delicious. My husband is a hot mocha guy. They have ice water at the front and in their spacious backyard seating area. It is a dog friendly destination. We enjoy seeing the wide variety of furry regulars. There are free treats for them. The service is consistently friendly and on top of their game. They really know how to move a line but you never feel rushed. They offer a points/ reward program for purchases which is always nice. When I asked my husband about cost he said it is so good he didn't even look! I checked our transaction history. For both of us including tip it was around $44- very decent in this day and age for such high quality. What a gem in Downtown Chandler!

My friend and I both ordered mediums with 75% sweetness, and it was the perfect drink for a hot, humid summer morning. Sweet enough to feel like a treat without being over the top. We also ordered matching bagel sandwiches. I do wish they offered a turkey bacon option, but the sandwiches were still hot, fresh, and delicious. The real star was the mayo aioli. I could probably put that on just about anything. The vibes are wonderful too. It's cozy, welcoming, and the kind of coffee shop where you want to linger with a friend for a while. My only critique is the layout of the front room. There always seems to be a line, but there's not really a good place for it to go besides in front of the entrance and the water station. It turns into a lot of "excuse me" and people weaving around each other. It's definitely a good problem to have because they're clearly popular, but I hope as they continue to flourish, they're able to expand into a larger space or rethink the flow a bit. Either way, I'll absolutely be back. Just save me another coconut brown sugar latte.

The burrito was huge, definitely big enough to share, and they were happy to cut it in half for us. The chipotle aioli took it straight to flavor town and made taking a break between bites a challenge. Wash it down with a dirty chai and your Saturday morning is pretty much complete. I also liked that the burritos are listed in order of popularity, which makes choosing a little easier if it's your first visit. They have free WiFi too, so it's a nice spot to hang out for a bit after breakfast. My only small gripe is that extra salsa will cost you 80 cents. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing if you like a little extra with your burrito. Morning Kick started as a food truck, and luckily for us, they decided to level things up with a permanent spot. You still get that fun, casual feel, but now you can order at the counter, grab a seat, and enjoy everything in a bright, uplifting atmosphere. Great food, great energy, and a place that just feels good to hang out in. We'll be back. Over and over again.

They have a larger patio space outdoors, which I asked and discovered they are dog friendly so happy to find another venue we can bring the girls to. The patio was still shaded when we left about noon so it's a good spot for pups. Two of our group was already seated when we arrived so we joined them upon arrival. Lisa, our server, immediately came over for drink orders and confirm we were still waiting for others to join. Lisa, was so patient and friendly while the group gathered and decided what to order. I asked for a glass of O.J. which was sans pulp for those who don't like it in their O.J. I prefer some to jazz it up but it was a good glass of juice. They have a good sized menu with both breakfast and lunch offerings, and it took a bit to decide on what we were eating. I decided on the Corned Beef Hash with two eggs over-medium and a pancake. I asked for it on a separate plate and she said no worries, that's how it is served. The hash was sooo good! Cooked to a crispy crust and so flavorful and not salty at all, which I loved because sometimes hash can be salty. It also came with hash browns, which were cooked perfectly and not greasy in the least. I asked for my eggs over-medium and they too were cooked to perfection. It came with one pancake (I chose this in place of toast) and it was good size cake, with a nice malty flavor. It's sprinkled lightly with powder sugar and a dispense of warm syrup was provided as well. Really good breakfast! Wife went with the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and sourdough toast. They serve a wonderful homemade blackberry jam with the toast, which was really good and jammy. She also had her eggs done the same way as me and they were cooked to perfection. The bacon was perfect and she commented about the hash browns being cooked to a crunchy outer and tender on the inside. Everyone else said their meals were just as good and everything looked delicious. Great breakfast find and we will be back! Thank you to all of the staff and cooks!
