Great prices and delicious food. The burritos are stuffed and amazing, the tortillas are homemade fluffy and big, the queso is so good and a very good price for a large amount same with the beans very tasty. Chips & salsa are amazing, spicy but delicious. It does get very full and the drive thru line gets long so call in your order ahead of time and go in the restaurant and pick it up.

I almost want to keep the 5 star rating to myself because this place is so good! It's like the Carne Guisada Gods themselves reached down and touched this whole place and blessed the very hands that put all the goodness together here. There's not anything on the menu that's bad!!! The only drawback are their hours because they close early so no dinner:(

R
Raquel Velez

It's a solid restaurant. I just hate that you can't call in your orders half the time because they don't k ow how to answer the phone and work at the same time. Some of us have places to be and need to call in our order for convenience.

R
Renata Duran

Great food. Drive thru line needs work...if someone gets pulled up you can not go past them.

D
Daniel Valdez

If you order a burrito to eat in the restaurant it will be a big burrito with a big tortilla. If you order it to go it will be a small burrito with a small tortilla for the same price. Almost the best authentic Mexican food. The best Mexican food in Levelland Texas.

Z
Zack Stephens

Great Asado and Desebrada. Burritos are a little on the high side. Chops and hope sauce are amazing if you like it hot.

P
Patricia Rodriguez

The food is really great...... long wait times thru the drive-thru an its a small place an it gets really congested

Z
Zane Stephens

Best Asada in town and good tortillas. Call in your before going to drive thru usally a long wait.

R
Rita Galindo

This is really GOOD food but...they need a bigger dining area. This place is so busy through the drive though! The waiting line to order is out into the street...then you get asked to pull up and wait for your food! Maybe they need a bigger business and more employees...their customer cliental has grown... so should they!

C
Chris Boyd

So far the best breakfast burritos I have had in this town. Will be trying the other spots but my only complaint is check your order they miss a few sometimes.

B

I love the food!! It’s such a shame that they never answer the phone! Or especially when they just unplug it!! What really keeps me away is the guy at the window. He is simply so rude and disrespectful.

Worst burritos I’ve ever had! I ordered a bacon, egg, potatoe, cheese burrito and I didn’t get any bacon, the potatoes were hard, and the burrito was extremely small. I’ll never be going back to this place! I’ll be going to rebertos from now on.

I love these burritos but I swear the staff is so stupod. I've ordered burritos with beans and cheese and I pay the full price and I don't even have beans and cheese in my birritos. I was fine when it happened once but this happened three times already. They need to get some decent people that know how to take orders right

A
Amanda Zuniga

I hadn't been to this place in a lil bit but decided to return and I was very disappointed! Food was dry! I ordered tacos and they came with no lettuce or tomatoes! Just saddened because I had the same expectation of great food as Ive had before!

M

Soo I have a problem with the lady at the window being rude .... Every time I come up to the window and just me she will leave the window, mind you I only lived here for a month so I don't know anyone.... So when I call to complain she argues with me then she hands the phone to some guy who says he's a manager I don't know his name I just know he got our order wrong one time cause he was flirting with a guy that was in there ... So when I ask to speak to the owner to solve this problem his solution was to not go buy food from there instead of handling the situation like a manager should he was mad cause that little girl is his best friend .... SO UNPROFESSIONAL SO RUDE AND THE OWNER NEED TO FIRE BOTH FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOB AN LOSING COSTUMERS FOR A MANAGER SOLUTION TO BE TO STOP GOING AND BUYING FOOD CAUSE HIS WORKER IS RUDE IS WILD WORK SMH .. SO I NEED TO GET INTO TOUCH WITH THE MAIN OWNER I HAD TO MAKE HIM TAKE MY NUMBER DOWN CAUSE HE DIDNT WANT TO AND FOR HIM TO TELL THE OWNER DO BETTER LA ESMERALDA

That star was giving this place way too much credit. The food took forever to get to us, then when it finally did, it was not worth the wait. Everything looked like it had been cooked in old grease. Tasted just as bad as it looked.First and last time I ever eat here.. i do not recommend it to any body. Worse food in Levelland I have ever been served.
