Amazing burrito with rice, beans, your choice of protein smothered in sauce and cheese for an exceptionally reasonable price. Staying downtown at the residence Inn and the taco cart was a block away. Found the great reviews and agree, it is a must try when in the neighborhood. He accepts cash or card.

Don’t overlook this food stand. Great prices. Friendly and prompt service. My chicken burrito and friend’s quesadilla was ready in about 5 minutes. Hot, fresh and tasty.

Food is amazing. Smothered burrito is delicious the chile is the right amount of spice. I got the carne asada with the chile relleno.

This place is great and fair priced. Had the Asada burrito and 2 tacos. Both delivered on flavor and the green salsa has a nice kick.
