| - I live right around the corner from this restaurant, so I think I have been here about 40 times. That might seem like a lot, but I really only go here about 4 or 5 times a year; they have been at this location quite awhile. I remember when it was a breakfast diner, but that was a very long time ago. I have lived in the neighborhood for about 20 years.
I am not giving this restaurant five stars because it is not a place that you have to visit or you haven't lived. It is a place that is consistently GOOD. I have never been disappointed with a meal here, but I have never got on the phone after finishing a meal and called everybody I know to tell them about the best meal I ever ate.
The service is friendly. The food is good. The salsa is fine (not bad, not amazing, just good). The restaurant is generally clean, but I always get my food to go, so I can't comment too much on the physical restaurant itself.
I have ordered a lot of different items (rolled tacos, breakfast burritos, bean burritos, carne asada burritos, pollo asado burritos, and every type of chimichanga they offer), and they have all been consistently GOOD.
If you are in the neighborhood, stop in; you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for the best Mexican food you have ever tasted, and you are travelling an hour to get here, you can probably find an equally satisfying meal in your neck of the woods.
If I were you, I would give this place a chance. I like it, and I wouldn't be surprised if I end up here another 40 times - given enough time.
