Burritos California
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 Ever since my first visit I have loved Burritos California. As a world traveler, this small family-owned restaurant felt like stepping into a different country- which I love. The staff are wonderful and the food is amazing. It's set up similar to chipotle with better food (in my opinion). If I could...

👍👍 Excellent, excellent pizza. This place is kind of off the "main drag" if you are not from the area. If I'm ever passing through, this is where we stop. Crust and sauce are awesome and the toppings are fresh.

👍👍 Very cool bar with great food. The bar is actually below ground. Walk in the front door from the sidewalk or parking lot and go downstairs then go into the bar. Bar food but it's great.
