The food here is really good. The smothered sweet pork burrito is amazing if you like sweet pork. They offer different kinds of meats also. Don't be afraid to have their delicious salad, too. The sweet pork one is delicious!

I absolutely love the raspberry chicken salad with the cilantro lime dressing. But what really blew me away was the in-house homemade Key Lime Pie. When I tell you that it was one of the best that I’ve ever tasted. I couldn’t stop eating it because it was just that good!!!

If you're not very hungry the kids meal is a great "lighter / smaller meal" option. I love the sweet pork and ALWAYS get the sweet pork enchilada. So delicious.

Mariella handled our stressful over-the-phone order with class and even left an Easter message for us in our to-go bags. This helped make our long drive much easier and even a little fun! Also, the food was filling and tasty.

Hunter is the most amazing manager I’ve ever seen at any restaurant. He defended an employee getting harassed and got assaulted for it. Afterwards he ran back in and told his employees to help the customers in line and he moved on as if nothing happened. He was so enthusiastic before and after the incident, not to mention he had that amazing attitude on a Sunday. GIVE HIM A RAISE

I had a great experience. The kids who work here do a great job of running the place. I was impressed that they kept the tables clean, which is kind of rare at fast-serve places these days.
