I was in Davenport and I really wanted Mexican Food. Pretty much the only place I could find. The burritos are OK. There was no one in the restaurant so the service was fast. It is definitely worth to get a Super Burrito than a Regular burrito because it is a lot bigger and has alot more substance to it. The tortilla was not that good. It tasted very artificial. The restaurant was clean. I was starving, so it definitely filled me up, but If your looking for better Mexiican food make the extra 6 minute drive to Santa Cruz, for some other Mexican food.

Based on one meal on July 16, 2008, this place should be avoided. While the carnitas tacos were pleasingly large and tasty, the side dishes and salsa were sub par. One side dish, the rice, was clearly spoiled, with that old food flavor that says thank goodness they heated it up (hopefully) enough to destroy the pathogens. The salsa was bland- almost ketchupy. The refried beans were almost tasteless. The counter staff was very friendly and the transaction smooth. The place was quite clean. Maybe a follow up visit would say otherwise, but I now avoid places with first experiences like this one (for health reasons).

Man do I want this place to be good!! There would be nothing better than a deluxe burrito paired with a beer after a cold surf on the North coast. But I've given them 3 chances and each experience has been worse than the last.
In the case of yesterday's visit, it was so poor I left half of my "Super" burrito uneaten, I believe this is a first in several decades of voracious consumption of Mexican fare.
The "Super" was to include Pico de gallo, salsa, sour cream and Guac. It lacked all of these, so I asked about it. and was given a cup of bland salsa or red vinegar (not sure on this detail), and a thimble of spoiled Guacamole. Fully spoiled - no joke.
The beans were bland and cabbage made an especially heavy appearance. It SUCKED.
It was $9.00, which I'd be happy to pay if it were anywhere near adequate. By the way, paying with cash was not allowed, only credit - huh?
If it weren't for bus loads of tourists dumped on their porch on the Hwy #1 journey, this place wouldn't have lasted a month. Just down the road in Santa Cruz you can't make it a hundred feet without running into AAA rated taqueria. -

Avoid! Danger Will Robinson!
I waited a full hour for my food to arrive while my 4-year-old son moaned for his quesadilla. After 45 minutes I asked where our food was and was told they lost my order, because they are very disorganized and just plain slow. When my food eventually arrived, they got my order wrong and the food was a tad below mediocre. I actually walked up to the tip jar, reached in, and grabbed by two bucks back! The least they could have done was comp my son a juice or something, but nothing not even an apology.
