Description
Beyond the standard menu of burritos and tacos, this Forest Avenue eatery is known for its tender, grilled-to-perfection meats. While the indoor dining area is small, the kitchen's attention to detail extends to their takeout: they use foil packaging instead of standard covers to ensure items like nachos and fries stay crispy on the ride home. The small-scale operation is run by owners who care, though the tiny kitchen can occasionally get backed up when orders pile up.
