“Been going to this place for over 25+ yrs. Staff is always good to me and friendly, do go out their way to make my burritos crispier. They have all my favorites SPECIALLY My kind of drinks. THE ONLY THING THAT HAS ALWAYS been a problem at this place. Is the homelessness that loiter around and peddlers asking for money that make it difficult for us women to get off to make our purchase.~ But hey you might just be there when no one's around so do not discourage them, close to freeway exits and entrance to 99. Clean and kept inside.”
