I recently discovered a fantastic breakfast burrito spot in the Highlands. I’m a big fan of this place! The chorizo breakfast burrito was incredibly delicious and satisfying. They managed to make it quickly while still paying attention to detail. I also appreciate that it’s not too expensive.

We have been coming for 2+ years and the food is always fresh and it’s real Mexican taste. The staff is friendly and fast.

I really want to like this place more, because it has such a great menu and potential. I got a bacon breakfast burrito and I had to pull out HUGE pieces of fat and gristle (see photo). I don’t understand how someone could be making this and think to themself, “this looks good. I should leave these giant pieces of fat in here, the customer will want to eat them I’m sure”. Way too much potato compared to other ingredients too. Would be 5 stars if they upped the meat quality and nailed the proportions. Green salsa and the tortilla was incredible, the rest- sub par. They also charged a high credit card fee which was like 20% of cost of the burrito. Any restaurant should hold the standard of “if it doesn’t look appetizing and edible, don’t serve it” and this place unfortunately didn’t do that in this case.

we absolutely love this place, and I don’t understand how it’s not constantly busy. breakfast is always outstanding (my bf says it’s the best huevos rancheros he has ever had) and we love the agua frescas. finally came for dinner and it was somehow even better than breakfast. their carnitas and barbacoa are both so flavorful, and whatever is in the red salsa that comes with your meal is magical. despite how much I’d like to keep this place a secret all to myself, I cannot recommend it highly enough
