The Mexican food I had delivered to me at this restaurant was really good. The bean and rice burrito filled me right up . I was full at the end of my meal. This restaurant had a great selection of vegetarian options available. I highly recommend this restaurant. I give them 5 stars ⭐️

This is the only google review I’ve ever left. This place is both life changing and affirming. I’ve been getting the super burrito 3x a week for years (and I’m in the best shape of my life). Never been happier or healthier.
