    Not sure why this place was closed for a long time, but it’s open again and I’m glad I tried it. With food prices increasing all over collegetown, the quality and portion size you get here for the price is definitely worth it. Service may be a little slow at times but it usually doesn’t ever take more than a couple minutes. The selection of meats and other ingredients is also great! Definitely give it a shot if you haven’t!

    Great food but really inconsistent hours. They say they close from 3PM to 5PM everyday, but multiple times I've been by the store or called before and after those times (2pm and 6pm, typically) to check and they were closed or didn't answer the phone. Really frustrating.

    A good quantity for a good price! The bowl and burrito can be made vegan by by holding the cheese! The tomatillo (medium) sauce is amazing!

    One of the best places in collegetown that people can still afford and the food is still excellent! They’re back open!

    Everything I get from here is always so good. Lots of great toppings and sauces. Amazing burritos, nachos, and quesadillas and very convenient location on campus!

    I love the food, but I just walked all the way to Collegetown to find the OPEN sign lit, but a note on the door saying they will reopen at 4pm. I would definitely advise calling ahead since they don't keep the hours they claim to!!

    Terrible terrible terrible. This restaurant lives up to its name: serving old , stale, cold, food. This was the worst tasting food I’ve ever had, taste like prison food. I very disappointed and wish I didn’t buy from here

    Good quantity for the price. The food is average but it is one of the only Mexican restaurants in Collegetown so if you crave Chipotle, do give this a try.

👍👍 How can anyone not love this bakery? It is so unique because it's not only a bakery and cafe, but they serve alcohol too (they even do happy hour from 4-6). The food is always fresh and delicious. They have daily specials. They're baked goods are very good, as well. They are a lot of drink options:...
