actually kind of fancy

The first thing anyone will notice about this place is the name. As your are driving down the street, you’ll notice this little restaurant with its silly name. I finally tried it, and as you enter, you realize that the decor is actually quite nice. There are numerous pictures and it a very pleasant atmosphere. That was sort of surprising.

Anyways, the menu offers your standard Mexican fare, such as burritos and quesadillas, along with fajitas, chimichangas, horchata and so on. I decided to just stick with a chicken burrito, and it turned out to be a good choice. It’s a decent size burrito, although I’ve seen bigger, but I was very full at the end, which was unexpected. A friend got a half order of chicken fajitas, and it came with a lot of food. If you order a full order, you can probably share with another person.

I had a good experience here, and wouldn’t mind coming back here to try a chimichanga, or anything else on the menu.

What I ate:
  • ****

    You get a choice of black beans and pinto beans. I went with the black beans and it went well with the burrito. You can also add guacomole for a dollar and sour cream for 75 cents. They give a solid amount of each in the burrito, so it’s worth it if you love those two ingredients. The chicken was freshly cooked and pretty tender. While it had enough flavor, I felt adding some spicy salsa was necessary, because the burrito didn’t seem to have that flavorful kick.
