Conveniently located near 15-501 between Chapel Hill and Durham, this Mexican spot is easy to get to. I had the veggie burrito—it was a big portion, enough for two people, and the horchata was really good. That said, the veggie burrito was pretty bland, mostly just broccoli with not much seasoning. Would love to see more variety and flavor in the veggie options.

Update review a week later:
My husband checked his credit card report, the restaurant over charged his credit card for 26 cents without authorization.
I truly believe honesty can make the business stay longer.
I don't think I would come back even though I love the food.
Good value. Can't wait to come back trying more food. -
Food was absolutely fantastic! My sister had chicken fajitas which is by far the best we’ve had. The chicharones and papusa were also fantastic. Highly recommend for sure!

Got the plato tipico, a sampler plate of Salvadoran food that consist of a pupusa, yuca fritas, plantanos, a tamal de pollo, and a pastelito served with rice, refried beans, and curtido. Everything was delicious! Service was friendly and patient

No frills restaurant serving delicious food with very generous portions!
They had a few vegetarian options for us to choose from and we all enjoyed our meal together!
