• 2/21/26Best Al Pastor Burrito in the area (I live 45mins away)
I will say, it seemed like more rice and beans than meat this time than the many previous times I've gotten it, but I won't base my review from 10+ visits on 1 experience so it's still a 5/5
Sauces are really good too

• 12/12/24The food is always great. I highly recommend their Steak Burrito. They give out fair and generous portions. Their Queso Fundido is some of the best queso I've ever had---definitley beats Chipotle or Panchero cheese. I will say the Burritos generally contain too much rice and the Quesadillas can be greasy. 4/5 stars.

• 6/26/26Honestly, the birria quesadilla didn't lack on meat...but it was bland and lacked the queso. Especially with it being a quesadilla. The consume wasn't flavorful and neither was the quesadilla itself. The meat was a little dry, but if the consume wasn't flavorful good it could've made up for it. I ended up using the green sauce and I'm not a sauce person, but it needed something. The orange sauce is good if you love super spicy. The churros were ok, but definitely weren't soft. I had to nuke them in the microwave for a sec. Overall....very very mid.

• 6/2/22I have been searching for a more flavorful Mexican restaurant in Shelton - THIS IS IT. Even the quesadillas have so much flavor - tastes authentic and delicious. The chicken is so tender, seasoned well, and yummy.
