Nice vegetarian burrito. The lady who made the burrito was very nice. Oh and the water melon juice was good too.

Great little Mexican restaurant/takeaway in San Francisco. I ordered two regular tacos (chicken and chorizo), and a side of black beans. I ate in and was given tortilla chips and water complimentary. The food was so good that I ordered some more!

Boyfriend and I collectively agreed that this was the best and cheapest meal we've had so far on our trip here it was delicious. I had the super quesadilla with steak and a side of rice. Delicious.
