- MMaricelaVIPLos Angeles •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoHonestly I went in expecting a fuller menu. Once I was there I thought oh no, it’s not going to be good and was sitting with disappointment. However, the waiter offered us options and we went with off the menu option and ordered burritos. As the food started to come out and we started to taste the avocado sampler, we all nodded and said wow this is good. So we waited patiently. To our surprise The meal and choice was amazing! It has been one of the best burritos I have tasted in years!!! Filet mignon burrito. Thank you so much!! Bravo to the waitress. She made my brothers 50th birthday a memorable experience.
