“Staff are very friendly even during a rush and are able to keep the queue moving. Food quality was exceptional, especially with the Valentina hot sauce available. Cool in the summer with AC, and today was quite hot.”

“Exceptional experience It was my first coming here and so I was nervous to create my own burrito. However, the atmosphere and the lovely worker Sara was an absolute gem who helped me navigate each step with ease. The burrito is stuffed to the brim with each fresh, flavourful and juicy component creating the perfect meal to enjoy. Would recommend!”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the build-your-own burrito, praised as stuffed to the brim, fresh and juicy, with generous amounts of each ingredient. Close behind are the tacos, a quesadilla served with a pot of sauce, and a naked burrito bowl described as tasty and fresh, with one reviewer noting bowls come with a free side. Several single out the hot sauces, with the Valentina named specifically. Staff earn repeated praise as friendly, quick even during a rush, and helpful to a first-timer working through each step of building a burrito. One reviewer also mentions air conditioning on a hot day. The main complaint comes from one diner who ordered three tacos, found the total higher once guacamole and salsa were added, called the tortillas half filled and tiny, and said the tacos were not good. Others, by contrast, describe the portions as generous and say they get their money's worth. One reviewer, who is Indian, says finding a taste of home in England is hard, and describes the food here as hitting that taste at its peak.
