"This place really has been consistently amazing for at least 15 years! ( I know they’ve been open longer, just how long I’ve been going) Super JR Burrito is everything! from the crema to the guac , and amazingly delicious red sauce on top the burrito filling is ALWAYS PERFECT .All my food is always hot and fresh which I love , including the amazing tortilla chips and salsa. The Jamaica is flavorful, with perfect amount of sweetener."

"Great tasting food at very reasonable prices. The meat is tender & juicy, the home made tortillas are excellent. The outdoor patio is very clean & the atmosphere is great along with the excellent customer service. The fresh drinks are delicious as well. Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop by as you should too. Highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Mexican food. Update, just tried their Birria tacos dorados, simply delicious. See the pictures"
