    First time here and I've got to say it's pretty solid! The reviews were a little sketchy but we gave it a try anyways. The pod it's in is great! Multiple fire pits and a big covered eating area! The gentleman who took our order was friendly and helpful. He even gave my daughters a candy when leaving. We ordered the asada burrito and carnitas quesadilla. It took about 10 minutes and our food was ready. Took it home and got it ready for the girls (and myself). The quesadilla was pretty good - nice flavor, not to greasy and decent sized. The asada burrito was also a nice size and had a good balance of meat, rice, beans and other fillers. It wasn't a meat brick which I appreciated. Pretty good flavor. I'd come back if in the area!!

    The steak taco was solid, but wow, the al pastor taco was fire--the best I've had of the flavor anywhere, so I give it a five star review just for that.

    This place is still open! And I'm surprised to read these negative reviews, because I had a freaking amazing Torta. We made it vegetarian and filled it with grilled Soy. The soy curls almost tasted like chicken and were marinated to perfection. My favorite part of the Torta was that it was pressed down and toasted perfectly. The bread was just slightly crunchy and flaky. Most Tortas I eat don't toast their bread so, and it become such a hassle to bite down on this huge freaking thing. Not the case here! And it was filled with jalapeños and tomatoes. The RED SALSA on the side was delicious. I've never had a salsa like that before, I can't even describe the flavor but I loved it. I'd definitely come back for the Torta. Bummed to see people think it's closed because it might not be getting as much business (which it rightfully should), but I guess for now this will be a nice little secret for all of us in the know
