"I was walking around and kind of just randomly stumbled upon this place and decided I'd give it a shot, as I love trying new Mexican places. I'm so glad I did because this is my new favorite place! The location is super small, but still has a few tables inside and a couple outside, which seemed clean when I visited. Definitely had a hole-in-the-wall vibe, which I love, personally. Employees were masked, which I also appreciated. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and had such a welcoming demeanor. I told her it was my first time trying the place and she informed me they were known for their beans and their shredded beef, so, of course, I had to try both. The menu is just big enough, and offers a nice selection of things at very reasonable prices. They also have pre-made burritos that you can buy to-go, which I thought was a very cool idea and a nice plus! I ordered the bean and cheese burrito, a hard-shell shredded beef taco, and some chips and salsa on the side. The shredded beef was really good {I can't wait to go back and try it in a burrito), but the bean and cheese burrito was the real standout here. DELICIOUS. I absolutely love a good burrito and am always on the hunt for the right experience and I think the search has ended. Absolutely give this place a shot, if you haven't yet! They also deliver through Doordash, so keep that in mind."

The Mexican food here is excellent, and you can customize the hot sauce to suit your taste. The service is quick, and the cashier and staff are friendly. I highly recommend this place!

Be cautious. I had no idea what to expect, but I ended up very pleased. The burrito was excellent and it came out surprisingly fast. I’m not sure how they did it, but it was truly delicious!

I recently had lunch there a few days in a row, and unfortunately, the meat was tough and cold. I tried the Asada Burrito, and on two occasions, the meat was extremely difficult to chew, which suggests it had been sitting out for a while. Given the prices, I expected better quality food.

This restaurant offers classic Mexican fast food with a distinctive menu. The food is delicious and has a charming 1970s vibe. One standout item is the 'Ross Perot,' which brings a sense of nostalgia. I tried the veggie hard-shell tacos, and they were flavorful, featuring creamy refried beans and a delightful red sauce. It's definitely worth a visit for lunch!

I did not enjoy my Pasadena burrito much at all. Tortilla was cold and the meat subpar. On top of that, sometime tasted really sour and off, which I suspect was the avocado that was a bit rancid. This place has been on my list for quite some time to visit considering their history, and I did want to support a smaller local restaurant. But the burrito I had was not good at all and I would not go back. View menu

I ordered the chicken enchilada plate and was very disappointed. It tasted like it had been made days ago and reheated in the microwave. The sauce was unpleasant and bitter, and the rice was basically just plain white rice without any flavor. I really don't understand how this place is considered a favorite in Pasadena. I suppose if you have no taste or don't know how authentic Mexican cuisine should taste, you might enjoy it.

This establishment truly stands out for its quality and consistency. I've been a regular for quick lunches here my entire life. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast or lunch, this place has you covered any day of the week. One of my favorite dishes is the Ross Perot, and their chorizo breakfast burrito is also an excellent, budget-friendly option. I've heard rumors that they might be facing some difficulties and could be at risk of closing, which I sincerely hope isn't true. If you appreciate local dining, you should visit this spot as soon as possible. It’s genuinely a staple in Pasadena.
