Cleanliness: 3

All I can say about this place is that UrbanSpoon ratings are not always accurate. The food was mediocre at best and the service and cleanliness were lacking. We tried the chicken fajita quesadillas and the burrito bowl with barbacoa. The barbacoa was fatty, including giant chunks of fat found at times. It's not even close to the quality of meat you would find at a Chipotle. The rice and beans were acceptable, if mushy and unremarkable. We tried 3 different sauces/salsas. The traditional salsa is very heavy on onion and cilantro, which leaves little room for a true salsa flavor. The "red" hot sauce wss hot, but tasted heavily of pepper. The "green" hot sauce was slightly better, but not something I'd choose to eat frequently. The quesadillas were decent. The chicken was seasoned fairly well, but they were greasy and average at best. Considering that the restaurant was completely empty when we arrived and had 4 employees working, I was surprised that I had to check 3 tables to find a clean one, and the one that was clean didn't have any napkins in the holder. The food took a while to be prepared and overall, I doubt this place has any longevity. I certainly won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
