A great place to get fresh, fast, good quality Mexican food. I lived in Mexico for a month and I seriously missed this place. It's not greasy at all and they don't use any MSG. The burrito dos manos with chicken is my personal fave. The best thing is that it actually comes with two burritos (hence, "dos manos") so you can split with a friend or have it for a meal the next day.  It comes with rice, black or pinto beans, chicken, cheese, sour cream, tomato. I usually substitute sour cream for guacamole...so good. The black salsa there is really good, have never seen anything like it. It's not too spicy either.

Another good healthier choice are the chicken fajitas. They are make-it-yourself. They give you the tortillas (flour or corn) and a plate of grilled chicken strips, rice, beans, onions, green peppers, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. It comes with about four tortillas and is very filling.

They recently started doing a buzzer system which lights up when your order is ready. This seems kind of unneccesary, but I suppose it is useful when it gets really busy during lunch.

Chips come with most of the meals and usually you get them to munch on while you're waiting for your food.

This is a good place to come with friends or family. There are only 3 booths in the entire place, the others are regular tables. I recommend the booths, but you have to be quick because everyone always wants to sit in them.
