I placed my order over the phone and it was ready by the time I arrived, which was nice. The burrito itself wasn't too big, but it was actually pretty filling. It had a good ratio of meat to rice and beans, and they use whole beans. For the size of the burrito, I was surprised by how much carne asada they packed in there compared to everything else, which is definitely a plus. The carne asada was flavorful and had some nice crispy bits that were honestly really tasty. It also came with limes and hot sauce on the side. I honestly wasn't expecting too much going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty good carne asada burrito and definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving one.

Highly recommend checking them out!

This specific location has changed a few times and this time the place has stayed the same for…read morequite some time so I was curious if it's any good. I parked in the back with plenty of shade and there's plenty of parking in the adjacent plaza but quite a walk to the restaurant entrance. The place is pretty hot, I thought the AC was on but it was warm. Didn't feel so good eating inside during the hot summer day. But they have plenty of seating area, just wish it wasn't so warm inside. The menu was vast and they even serve sushi, after reading the reviews I decided to avoid seafood here. Even with the reviews I don't usually order seafood anyways so I ordered my favorite dishes which I usually would get such as the birria plate and carne asada fries (not spicy). I also ordered a kids meal of chicken nuggets and fries with a small Diet Coke. Unfortunately no refills allowed, so good thing I also ordered a large Diet Coke just in case. The food was ready fairly timely, the kids meal gas 8 nuggets and plenty of fries. My kid loves eating it with a ton of ketchup which each table has an assortment of hot sauce bottles and a bottle of ketchup. The carbs asada fries came in a round plastic plate, it's smaller than what other places serve but it could be because it's a dine in order and not in the take out box. The fries were chunky ones and the beans made it soggy fast. The carne asada were small, a little chewy and hard. The cheese was white so I couldn't tell the difference between it and sour cream, so it looked like you didn't get any cheese but it's there! The birria plate was on a reusable plate and side of warmed corn tortillas, with rice and beans. Rice is ok, a bit hard but still good. Beans were a bit too watery but not bad on flavor. Birria was ok as well, not spicy but tastes good with the pickled onions from the self serve counter. I ate the plate of food with lots of the pickled onions. Restroom is for customers only, you need to ask for the key and they have two unisex restrooms. Overall, I don't think I'll come back. It's just too uncomfortable to eat inside and it's not that different from the other places I can get my favorite dishes.

But the last two times, I've been getting some other kind of meat or a tiny tiny amount of asada meat mixed with the other meats (they have cheek, lips, and head meat) which I don't prefer. The "asada" tacos not only taste completely different, the texture is different, and it looks like shredded stewy meat. It's also somehow drier and less juicy. I also saw the cook chopping up the flap steaks before I ordered it and that was not what I got. I thought the last time was a mix-up but now I think they thought I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. 5 stars for the real asada and Jamaica drink 3 stars for whatever I got the last 2 times

I got their jamaica and orange drinks, rice and beans, jamon torta, and chile verde and carnitas tacos dorados to try. My grandma also got herself a carne asada burrito which was decently sized but was mostly beans and she said the meat was kinda tough. This was my first time trying a Jamaica drink and it reminded me of cranberry juice. And The orange drink pretty much just tasted like a non bubbly Fanta. Oh you can also get one free refill on them if you want there. Yall know I'm a bean fiend and these beans were creamy, smooth, earthy, and seasoned but still let the beans shine. #beanfiendapproved The rice was super flavorful, a bit tomatoy, savory, and yummy. The jamon torta had mayo, crunchy shredded lettuce, diced tomato, thick cut deli like meat, plenty of melty cheese, all on a soft a bit sweet bun. Was actually way more flavorful and yummy than I thought it would be. The tacos had a decently griddled crisp chewy corny corn toritilla and plenty of meat. The carnitas were savory but kinda oily and a bit dry. but The chile verde MNM. Big chunks of juicy tender melt in your mouth flavorful meat. They also gave me some bright, acidic, a bit spicy salsas that tasted pretty similar just the red one was a little more tomatoey? But Overall this place was lowkey pretty good. Carnitas burrito $9.50 Jamon torta $9.50 Tacos dorados $2.50 each Rice and beans side $2 each Jamaica drink $2 Orange drink $2

I liked that they use refried beans inside, and the overall flavor was good. My only issue was the meat to rice and beans ratio.

Overall, the burrito was good and the portion was a decent size, but I think it would've been much better with more carne asada.

Their carne asada burrito -- loaded with sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo -- is, without question, the crown jewel of their menu.

Whether you're crawling in after a long shift with zero desire to cook, or fueling up for a late-night adventure, this is your place. Honestly, your kitchen should be a little jealous.
