We ended up discovering this place in 2023 when the location we weee going to was closed. This is a great find. The food is made fresh to your order instead of sitting in a heap waiting to be re heated. My daughter ordered the flauta dinner and it was very filling for her and she took half of it home. I ordered the burrito and they did not skimp on the meat. This location is well worth it and the service is always good.
