My friend, a long time Wichita resident, but a California native, and long term Nevada resident, thought is was some of the best Mexican food she's had since she left the southwest. She thought the little Cafe-on-the-corner look was darling.

This is one of the best Mexican foods I've ever had. A pulled beef burrito with chili, beans, and rice. Very heavy, very reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly and I would definitely go back again. They have a lot of outdoor searing and almost nothing inside. It seems like almost everybody gets takeout.

The food is good, they give you a large portion, and they're always friendly. There's a lot on the menu, so it's nice for when you need a variety. They're great about customizing the meal to the way you like it. We've been enjoying the massive monster cookie too; it took a few days to eat and it was great the whole time. There's limited indoor seating and some available outdoors.

You have to try this place! I got the carnitas plate, chips & queso, and a monster cookie. I only spent $19. There was enough food to feed at least two people. The meat was tender with great flavor and the rice was so fluffy. Queso had a kick. The staff was so kind!!! They even had me try the carnitas first to make sure it’s what I wanted and gave me a roasted jalapeño to try. The cookie as good as my mom used to make. My food was still hot by the time I got home, no reheating. Seriously, give this place a try.

The food was freshly made & delicious! The chips are handmade as well. They are a little thicker than I prefer, but still a great flavor. I'm not one to normally get a chimichanga but it was calling out to me, and it didn't disappoint! The rice was light, fluffy and full of flavor. I see us returning for more in the near future. Currently they are cash or cashapp only, but prices are definitely reasonable. Pictures are of chips with Queso and salsa; small bean tostada; small chicken quesadilla; and a chimichanga supreme

When I say that my family loves this place, we got the King Kong finger burrito with steak, pork street tacos, and guac. We also got various salsa options they had. The texture, size, flavor, and look of the food is really impressive. We will be going there as a new favorite. Customer service was great too! And the monster cookies were to die for.
