The Press

Three of us each got different burritos and we liked all of them. Even the simple things like the rice and beans were quite good. We agreed that the stand out was the mole sauce.
The server was nice and they were happy to accommodate our small alterations to our orders. We just wish the weekday lunch prices carried into the weekend.

The host called me amigo, "friend". The pico salsa was delicious! Nice choice of black beans, pinto beans, and refried beans with combinations. I chose pinto beans which were delicious! Had a spinach and cheese enchilada. Perfect combination of flavors with the beans rice and enchilada. Can't wait to go back!

A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control.
