If I could give this place a - 10 I would. Gave this place a second chance thinking it was a fluke the first time. Nope. AWFUL... AWFUL AWFUL . My son ordered the green enchiladas and a burrito which were completely inedible. The green sauce on theenchiladas looked like it was dyed green, the meat was dry, the burrito was dry, beans tasted like they came from a can, andjusted tasted as if it had been microwaved to death, I had the super burrito, which came cold, the cartnitas tasted old and werenot crispy at all, no rice, no beans, full of lettuce, which tells me straight off, not authentic as their sign says, weadditionally had ordered 3 super burritos to go, one carne asada burrito had meat and rice only completely dry, meat appearedreheated and old, one carne asada had everything, and the pastor had meat and beans only. Every item furthermore had so muchsalt that you couldn't even really taste anything else. The horchata had so much cinnamon that it tasted as if you were drinkingpowdered cinnamon. It was Saturday and the staff seemed more attentive to the young men hanging out than the dining customers.Everything was left with 2 bites taken out of it and was not even asked by staff what was wrong. The chips and guacamole werethe only edible items we had. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO MY WORST ENEMY!! Read more

Ordered a regular burrito and asked for no cheese or sour cream due to being both allergic to dairy and lactose intolerant. They... put cheese in it anyways and I couldn't eat my burrito because of it. It's literally just a simple step, they didn't have to putcheese in it, that's it. Very disappointed Read more

Very good food. Easy going and helpful staff. The kind of Mexican food I like. They have some authentic food. Salsa good, more... like a hot sauce and also get a Pico de Gallo. Guacamole was real good and fresh. Street tacos were larger and great (fish, Elpastor and Pollo verde). Grande burrito was huge. Chips were very crispy and not oily. Big thumbs up. Bathrooms were a littledirty around the edges, but not gross. Read more

Hello first time customer, I received the chicken super burrito and wow very thick lol and quite long for my expectations which... is amazing! I loved their salsa and so far this burrito tastes quite authentic and unique. I enjoy this food and the customerservice was professional and cordial. I recommend trying it if you haven't yet. I will be a returning customer! Thank you ElBrinquito! Read more

I got the happy hour special. 4 street tacos for $5. It was just what I needed. I liked the spicy salsa and chips that came with... it! The staff was very friendly. Prompt service with a smile. I will definitely go back. Read more

Wow!!! What a lucky find. We just picked the place at random and wow, what a treat! The Carnitas Super Burrito was absolutely... amazing. The food at this place is superb. I cannot recommend it strongly enough. The service was great. The location was alittle busy (on the corner of 2 busy roads) but the atmosphere was fantastic. Read more

Friendly staff and smells good when you walk in. We ordered the fajitas at the staff?s recommendation, and they were... great. They have Pepsi fountain drinks, bottled Coke, and beer on tap. Excellent food with a wonderful family atmosphere.Affordable and authentic. Read more

Decent food in a colorful and friendly atmosphere. The food is good but fairly average - nothing was bad, but nothing blew me... away either. It?s close and convenient so we?ll probably be back from time to time, but there are definitely more flavorfuloptions in Santa Rosa. Also, getting into the lot is tricky and the parking is tight if you?re in a truck or SUV. Read more
