We are out of Towner's, found this place on Google with great reviews, so we gave it a try. We were definitely not sorry. The portions are huge, prices very reasonable & oh so yummy! If we lived here, I'd be a loyal customer for sure. The lady at the counter was extremely kind & friendly.

Incredible service. Went in with 5 kids after a few hours at the beach. We ordered ALOT! It came out fast, fresh & perfectly how we ordered. I was so impressed. Parents got to enjoy chips & salsa while we waited and kids colored on the chalk wall. It was a great experience!

Sooo tasty! Super quick and very friendly service. The fresh chips and salsa were super awesome. The vibes inside were super nice too, with an awesome mural and hanging lights! Booths are huge enough to fit you and all your friends! I had the horchata and the diablo shrimp burrito which were both awesome. Huge portions for super reasonable prices!

Came in right at opening around 930am. This was my second time visiting. Ordered a Cali breakfast burrito. Dined in. Host offered drink varieties and chips with salsa. Food was brought promptly with red and green salsa. Burrito was huge ham eggs and this gooey cheese sauce(needed a fork to finish the rest) Chips and salsa was good. Strawberry horchata was fantastic not too sweet.
