The food here is incredibly affordable, and I've always enjoyed getting takeout, although I did stop by once to eat in. The breakfast tacos and burritos are standout dishes, and everything is consistently fresh and flavorful. The staff are friendly and attentive, making each visit a pleasant experience, which is why I keep coming back for more.
