“ Me, my boyfriend, and his brother all love this place. Ive gotten the xl quesadilla with carnitas before, but in this video my boyfriend and I each have the birria quesadilla which comes with the classic hot sauce, verde sauce so delicious, and some lime. So much flavor in that dish its to die for. The burrito is huge and filling, tacos are small but pack a punch with the flavors. The staff is very nice and the atmosphere isnt much but its a perfect little spot to sit down and enjoy lunch with some good company. ”
