General Notes

Mexican restaurant near the SF general hospital. Decent food, but a bit uninspiring. At least it's super affordable and has pretty nice vibes.

Positives

> I ordered a super burrito, and they gave me some free chips. It was just the right quantity too, and they were delicious.

Negatives

> You can't really customize your burrito as you would at most places; you just order at the register and they assemble it on the side. It would be nice if you could customize the kinds of salsa, etc that you get in it.

Dishes Tasted
  • ★★☆☆ Super Burrito (Al Pastor) -- The burrito was decent but not particularly noteworthy. My main complaint is the tortilla, which was a bit hard and could use a bit more warming up / steaming. The al pastor was okay, but didn't quite have the juicy / tender quality that I look for. The other components were pretty nice though. I wish they'd allow us to put salsas and other components directly into the burrito, though they did have a dedicated station where you could get salsas on the side.
