Burritos are delish! Had to make a pit stop in his memory and nothing has changed, still flavorful as I remember when he was still here.

Not your typical liquor store, they have a taqueria in there too. So you can get a pack of smokes and a burrito in minutes. And the food is so good. The guy at the register is pretty cool too.

Its one of the best Mexican fast food restaurant that I have visited. Fast food may be the wrong term, maybe it would be best to say its Mexican food served fast. I recomend it, their pastor meat marinated pork is one of the best i have had in quite a while

This place is certainly one that has never failed me. You get a excellent burrito beer to go all in one stop. The prices are not bad at all. Plus you can buy munchies all at the same time. FOOD SERVICE IS SUPER QUICK Parking is slim but who cares its worth going to.

Best food around. The corner store is my togo to. I always come for a super burrito. Their food is so addicting. If I get cravings for burritos, I go there. Besides, its nice that while they make your food fresh, you can shop for a drink and a nice treat.
