| - Really, I would like to give it a 4.5, if that were possible.
We stopped in for a late lunch after a day at the zoo, based on the proximity and positive reviews. We were the only customers.
The prices are extremely reasonable and the flavors as authentic as any taqueria I've been to in CA. The spicy red salsa is hot, the green is mild and flavorful and both taste very fresh. I love fresh chopped cilantro and it's one of the add-ins on the selection of entree toppings bar.
The man who assembled our burrito and taco order was very helpful and definitely generous with the meat fillings. I had a question about the difference between carnitas and pastor pork, and he took the tongs and handed me a large sample of each to try rather than try to explain in detail. I thought that was nice. Both were flavorful and tender and delicious.
My daughter didn't care for the chorizo taco too much because of the cinnamon flavor, but the barbacoa was a big hit. I had the carnitas burrito and the meat was absolutely delicious. You definitely get more meat than anything, unlike some other burrito places.
I only knock off half a star for having nothing but coke products to drink, and for flimsy plastic silverware that is far too weak to stand up to cutting through a burrito.
The interior is small and somewhat dim, with Mexican telenovelas and music videos playing quietly on a TV mounted near the ceiling. My daughter noted that there are outlets at every table, but I'm not sure if they have wifi. Seems like it would be a nice quiet place to have lunch and get some studying or other work done, if they do.
