Hidden gem! I was not expecting such high quality food from a "drive through diner. The food is delicious!!!! I'm hooked! I eat here a couple times a week and so far everything is delicious. The Al pastor is one of the best I've had. Believe me, I never imagined saying that, but it's 100% true. Eat here. You won't be disappointed.

I have been going to the Beach Blvd location for a while now, but passed by this location one night and gave it a try. This location is smaller and I've had a couple instances of them running out of beans and/or rice, but they're very apologetic about the situation and they try to compensate and improve your order for any inconveniences. Otherwise, I feel like the cooking and prep is a little better here. Anything fried had tasted like the oil is fresher that the Beach Blvd location. Even though this spot is a little farther away for me, I make the extra drive to go here.
