    Pretty decent burrito for the region. Had the regular with chorizo, without lettuce. Side of picked jalapeños. Nice that the burrito was wrapped tightly. Pretty darn big too. Side of chips & guac. Chips warm but a little too ductile. Quac was fine. Had no pico de gallo available (late on a Sunday night). Compared to some of the other taquerias in the area, this one is better than average.

    Los tacos de aquí estaban superrrrr deliciosos- ordenamos los de al pastor, de res y una orden de tacos para niños que traía frijoles y arroz. También ordenamos horchata que estaba bien refrescante. El lugar estaba en la esquina de la plaza y hay suficiente parqueo. Me encantó el ambiente y la música estaba buena. No había mucha gente cuando llegamos así que el servicio fue rápido, pero también era el fin de semana de día de acción de gracias. Definitivamente recomendaría este lugar de nuevo!!

    Food was very good! Service was quick and with real silverware and ceramic plates. It was casual dining but almost like a real restaurant. It looks small from the outside but opens up like a wedge inside. I tried there special, I forgot the name "Arreibo" or something. But it was very good and full of flavor. A bit spicy but not over the top. I loved it! My wife got the chicken torta and loved it. It was lighter and healthier. My some got the carne asada plate and he loved it. Good portions! The staff was very friendly and the food tasted more authentic Mexican than the Tex mex or American Mexican food around. Thanks for the great late night meal!

    Absolutely the best west coast style Mexican food I've had sense moving to GA! Very much so holds up against the food a ate Bach in California. I couldn't recommend it more!!

    Amazing and authentic mexican food! Also, the stuff is very friendly and helpful every time. My husband (from California) is very picky about the mexican food in Georgia and he would only eat in this place. So, for the Valentines Day I ordered 20 tacos in a shape of heart and he was in heaven! Thank You guys! I truly recommend this place. Delicious food

    This is a great casual Cali style Mexican spot. It is a little hard to order if you don't speak Spanish but not so hard that you can't. The service was quick. The burrito has great proportions. It's nice and heavy, but not too much beans/rice/veggies. I just wish it had a little more flavor. Needs some more zing and salt to it. The verde salsa helped but I think it would've been a top notch burrito if it just had some more to it. My biggest problem with burritos is the proportion of the filling and they did great. It might be better with the chorizo or pastor. The kids quesadilla is great for kids or a peckish adult. The meat is in nice chunks and the cheese is plentiful. The fries were soggy which was unfortunate. I'd probably ask for them to be cooked well done next time. Good neighborhood Cali mex spot.

    Atmosphere: casual, order at the counter type of place. Location: Located in a strip mall in Lawrenceville, close to Sugarloaf Mills mall. Service: simple and prompt. Food: The tacos are delicious and reasonably priced! You can have a nice lunch for $6. My favorite are the carne asada. Recommendation: It's a yes from me, dog.

    My husband and I found our new go to spot! It's so good that we came back for seconds the following day. We tried the carne asada burrito, which comes with rice, lettuce, beans, pico de gallo, and avocado. We also tried the pastor taco which had nice grilled char on the meat. The food is made fresh to order so the wait is a little longer, but worth the wait! The inside is clean, spacious, and doesn't feel crowded.
