"I can't believe that I have not reviewed this spot! Been going here for at least 10 years, perhaps more. It's not fancy, a good late night food spot. Burritos, tacos, nachos...all fantastic. Great sauces! If you order a large, you better be hungry...HUGE! The staff here are the best. The gentleman that works here and always has, is polite, funny as all get out and part of the experience! I will be back again soon.. So good! I like the Reggie Burger burrito with Habenero Sauce!"

"Amazing food. Some of the best Mexican cuisine I've tasted in all of Ontario, staff are super friendly and helpful and prices are fair. I'll definitely be back. They also offer relatively cheap delivery which was awesome as I was staying at a hotel."

"First time here, popped in for an early lunch. I've seen people coming and going from here and now I know why! Our service was excellent. The employee was super helpful and made some popular recommendations on the menu. My boyfriend had a regular sized burrito that was actually quite big and filling! I had nachos (with no meat ) My nachos were delicious! There was a ton of cheese, fresh corn, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro and I ordered a side of guacamole. We requested some hot sauce and the employee got us 3 different kids to try with generous portions. I was pleasantly surprised by this little hole in the wall and will definitely be back!"
