Great & efficient service of delicious food in generous portions. Grilled fish tacos were seasoned beautifully & were filled with big pieces of fish, topped with a flavorful salad of red cabbage, mango & jalapeños. Burritos were really big--though a tighter wrap would make them less messy to eat--less fun too maybe;)

The restaurant was clean and the service was attentive. However, the food was disappointing. I had the chile relleno burrito, and the chile relleno inside the burrito did not taste fresh. It tasted like an old, somewhat soggy chile relleno that was reheated and put inside a relatively small and flavorless burrito.

It's been several years since I've been here. When I lived down the street this was a go to spot and always got a Downtown Burrito. They went downhill for a bit with their other (since closed) location on santa Rosa. But they have done a great job making super fresh food. The food is better than ever and they make it how you want. Their menu only said breaded fish but we asked if they could do grilled. They did and it was so good. It should be a regular menu item. Also it was great to find out that they prep and cook it there in house. Great local restaurant with super fresh and delicious food.

Surprisingly good Mexican food for SLO. They do something special to the tortillas on their crispy tacos that really sets them apart.

Very colorful and nice atmosphere, the chips and salsa station was really clean (and they were good too!), the bathroom was cleaned, and most importantly the food was really good, also really good combinations and menu. We ordered an asada soft taco and a burrito. Bonus: they have outdoor seats and that area is doggy friendly .

I got a regular burrito with steak $13 and $2 extra for steak. The steak was verrrrry flavorful and the burrito wasn't dry. Pretty big burrito actually! And what really made it special was the staff <3 kind, asked how everything was. FAST and very clean. Always a great place to eat!
