It's the kind of place where you know what you're getting, and it hits the spot. Their California burrito is a beast. It's loaded with carne asada, crispy fries, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream -- pretty much everything you'd expect, but done right. Prices are fair, portions are big, and the staff is friendly and fast. It's not really a spot you hang out too long, but that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to be filled up If you're in Alpine and need a solid burrito or taco fix, this place won't disappoint. It's one of those dependable neighborhood spots I'll keep coming back to.

My beloved enjoyed his chicken fajita tostada; crispy fresh vegetables and generous sour cream & guacamole portions. The establishment charges extra 3.5% if paying with credit card.

Frankly, I find that practice coercive & refuse to participate in such.

And don't even get me started on the margaritas (try watermelon!) - delicious, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. A special shoutout to the owner, Chelsea, who is absolutely wonderful. Her passion for what she does shines through in every detail, from the food to the overall experience.

This isn't a spot you go to for lunch--this is where you go when you want a proper, satisfying breakfast that hits every time.

Now let's talk food... the brisket was out of this world! Tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of smokiness. Paired with the coleslaw (so fresh and delicious) and their BBQ sauce that was sweet but not overpowering, the whole combo was dynamite. I even had to snap a "before" pic of the plate--and let's just say the "after" pic didn't survive because it was THAT good! They were out of dessert during our visit, but I'll definitely be back to try that cinnamon and lemon pound cake that customers around us were raving about. Big shoutout to Vi and to Penelope (I believe she was the cook that day) for serving up not just a meal, but an experience. The layout was super cool and very clean. I never knew this place was in Alpine but I found my new barbecue spot. Definitely come and support as they are a hidden gem We'll 100% be back soon--thanks again for the warm hospitality and amazing food!
