This is an amazing restaurant. It's a small one, but the quality is astounding. Everything I have ordered there is delicious. They are very generous in their serving size for their burritos. The real kick is in their homemade salsa. It's a little different every time, but it's always phenomenal. There's so much flavor to it. Rumor has it that when the chef is having a bad day he'll make the salsa spicier, which works for me because I love spice. If you go only one time you won't see why everyone loves it and is a loyal customer. They also have a frequent visitor card that gets stamped at each visit/purchase. After the first five you get a free medium soft drink and after the the next five you get a free burrito. I love this restaurant, it's better than any other Mexican restaurant in the area, much better than Macayo's and all others because this one has a chef that knows how to cook Mexican.
I used to live in Phoenix and I still dream about this place. The Carnitas Burrito is the best thing on their menu, hands down- and believe them that they really do have the best breakfast burritos you will ever have. Mostly, just the locals and nearby office park folk eat here, and outside of that, it is an unknown gem in the Phoenix Metro. If you are ever nearby, stop there.
