The reviews comparing this to chipotle must be talking about the burrito building experience and…read morenothing else. This is not chipotle nor is it Mexican or even New Mexican. It's not Texmex. As a former New Mexico resident I'm perpetually disappointed in the Mexican offerings here in Germany. Based on the reviews, the line out the door, and the ambiance of the restaurant, I was certain I found a diamond in the rough. I was wrong. While it's confusing, it is even more baffling to have all the right pieces and still be bland and nothing like Mexican food. Tortilla, meat, beans, cheese, and rice do not a burrito make. Imagine I asked you what is in a cookie, and you told me, "flour, sugar, butter, chocolate chips." Then, I hand you a literal pile of flour, sugar, butter, and chocolate chips. That's what a burrito is like here. All the right ingredients and intention without the desired results. While this place is walking distance from my apt I think I'll stick to making my own burritos at home.

The ingredients are fresh and each item was excellent. I've only seen two people working - waitress, who is adorable, and the chef which could be the owner, I'm not sure. The restaurant was more than half-full each time, and the service from the one waitress, was spot on, and extremely friendly. If you're staying close to this restaurant, it is a good choice, so stop in, have a margarita, some food, and chase it with some tequila, you won't go wrong.

Disappointing. Not worth the 15 min it took me to find a parking spot. The owner replied to my review by blaming me and saying I was rude. He also harassed the group when they arrived and waved his phone in their faces and complained that I left a negative review. Awkward and uncomfortable. Suggestion: apologize or ignore and move on. If I had a business, I would look for ways to engage in a positive way with my customers and the community.

The only reason I gave them a…read morestar was bc I'm assuming the food they were serving is an interpretation of what they think is "Mexican" food. I may of misunderstood the waiters language barrier for surliness, but idk I haven't gone out much yet. Food: the nachos were re-heated tortilla chips that had some odd sweetish seasoning. The cheese wasn't pour over, all the "sides" are served as sides. Flavorless guacamole. There are no beans or rice or real Mexican desserts. The kids quesadilla we asked for with no chicken, the description of it was only to include chicken, but when it came out there was corn inside the quesadilla which the girls did not like at all. I'm glad they serve it with salad but that's the only good note. They advertised their tostadas and you would want them, but sadly they're flour tortillas (burrito size) with a salad on top and a large amount of chicken strips on top. My husband got a burrito which he said was flavorless fancy hot pocket. Drinks: I ordered two different drinks and both seemed to have barely any alcohol. It's like when you go out to a bar and they water-down the drinks bc it's whatever you're drunk who cares. The only thing was I wasn't and that not what you expect from a restaurant. Needless to say we will not be going back. I won't recommend anyone to visit. They need to revamp they're menu and hire a real chef that knows real Mexican cuisine. I'm better off cooking at home.
