I really enjoyed the complimentary salsa bar and chips. Honestly, you can't go wrong. The chips were light and crispy, and the salsa of my choosing had a good kick to it. I ordered the carne asada burrito and asked for the burrito sauce on the side. The burritos were huge and definitely felt worth the $20 in terms of size. My main complaint was that there was barely any carne asada, and I wasn't a big fan of the burrito sauce. I actually preferred eating it with the salsa instead. The rice had a subtle flavor, which was decent, but overall the burrito was lacking that carne asada flavor I was expecting. For a $20 burrito, I expected more carne asada and a stronger overall flavor.

The meat was tender and tasted like it was slow cooked. The tortilla is not anything special, but all the fillings (rice, beans) were good. There is larger rice than beans ratio, but they give plenty of meat protein. I have been here several times in the past. I remember totally ratchet seating areas, where there were large holes in the floor. There seems to be some updates and the seating area is cleaned up (but I've only done takeout).

The bean and cheese burrito was decent. Not bad at all, pretty typical whole pinto beans and cheese. Chips and pico de gallo were decent. The chips were crisp and obviously made in house.
