Food is good. We ordered tacos Pork in green chili Wet super burrito All was great except the chicken taco. Chicken had no flavor. But carnitas was AWSOME and carne asada toco was amazing. They do serve chips and salsa with your meal. Waitress was super friendly and the place was very clean. Food is fresh. And I recommend.

Pleasantly surprised... It may have a certain look, but it was actually very good and nice. The overall experience was great. Good and fresh food, the waiter was decent and down to earth and the drinks weren't overly priced. I can see myself going there every time I'm in the area; straight up. It was nice.

(1-25-22) first time stopping at this place to get some tacos. Daily I drive by and today I decided to try them out. In my opinion, tacos made by hand tortilla is the best . They also pretty good. The staff on shift where real cool. The place was clean and overall good first time experience. I will most likely go back for some tacos. If you don’t dine in make sure you order your food before arriving. I had to wait more then expected . Thanks

This place really has been consistently amazing for at least 15 years! ( I know they’ve been open longer, just how long I’ve been going) Super JR Burrito is everything! from the crema to the guac , and amazingly delicious red sauce on top the burrito filling is ALWAYS PERFECT .All my food is always hot and fresh which I love , including the amazing tortilla chips and salsa. The Jamaica is flavorful, with perfect amount of sweetener.

Everything seemed clean including the bathrooms. Swift and pleasant service. The rellenos seemed fresh and all the flavors were exactly what I expected. We got what we wanted and will return.

Great tasting food at very reasonable prices. The meat is tender & juicy, the home made tortillas are excellent. The outdoor patio is very clean & the atmosphere is great along with the excellent customer service. The fresh drinks are delicious as well. Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop by as you should too. Highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Mexican food. Update, just tried their Birria tacos dorados, simply delicious.
