Great food, nice people working here. I've been going here for close to 20 years. Ignore reviews by Janelle Routhier, she's mask sensitive.

My only complaint is that I simply couldn't decide on what I wanted to eat. The options all sounded good! It was a cool atmosphere with friendly staff. I only wish I lived closer so I could try everything on the menu.

Great food and super nice humans that work here! I go here every time I visit the area! Ignore the 1 star reviews by mask sensitive Janelle, she doesn't even go here in Colorado!

The food is tasty. Nothing to write home about, but good. Healthier than a Qdoba or Chipotle. The staff does not respect your business and is not friendly. Much more concerned about their internal conversations than providing eye contact and serving with a smile.

My bagel sandwich was so burnt I couldnt even eat it because it was so hard. The rest of the food we got was mediocre. Disappointed because the reviews were good.

I have two punch card that are a couple of burritos away for a free one but the cashier just told me that they don't use those anymore and I had to start over with a phone number in their system. The large burrito doesn't look large anymore two stars for the happy memories and good burritos I had here before. Not sure if I'll come back. It's very sad when opportunities presented to you to make your customer happy but you chose to tell them "sorry, there's nothing we can do". As a small business owner, I understand it deeply. What a pity!
