Review Insights

According to reviewers, the burritos here steal the show — many call them the best they’ve had, thanks in large part to the house-made hot sauces, especially the garlic jalapeño, which gets a lot of love. People praise the authentic Mexican flavours, fresh ingredients, and consistently friendly service. The pork and beef options are top picks, and regulars often come back for the tostadas, tacos, and house-made horchata. Some have noted that portion sizes have shrunk a bit while prices have gone up, but overall, the quality keeps people coming back. The cozy, casual space, complete with Latin music in the background, adds to the laid-back, authentic vibe.
