Great pastor burritos. HUGE and delicious and crazy inexpensive. Been going there for years and burritos have gone from 8 dollars to 10 which is still the cheapest around. Love it!!

The burrito that I got here was legit. Foil wrapped, full of some of the best, most fluffy rice I have had in a long time. Lots of asada and grilled to perfection (check out the tortilla). It is a great value. Easily enough food to keep you going for the better part of a day. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they don't have guacamole. That was the only thing that would have made the good burrito, a great burrito. FWIW I did get it with avocado and it was good. Word of warning, the salsa verde here is legitimately hot. Tasty, but hotter than most verde salsas are.

Quiet hole in the wall, nice lady running the truck. Tortas are on point... pretty basic but hits the spot, and cheap. I'm sure you could add avocado or other extras, but it stands well on its own.
