Get the Crispy Shredded Beef Tacos! They're delicious. My son likes the Crispy Ground Beef Tacos and Carne Asada Nachos. I like to go inside when I get takeout so I can get all the yummy salsas and their pico is delicious. The folks are always friendly in the drive thru and the lobby, not to mention quick service. Portions are huge! The building is an old Jack in the Box that's been nicely remodeled. Recently, they added a Value Menu and I was able to get a smaller Bean, Cheese and Rice Burrito. Add a little salsa and pico and I was all smiles. Oh, if you aren't a fan of lettuce or don't care for toppings stacked on top of your meal, ask for them on the side or without.

I haven't been here in person but my husband brings us home food from their 24 HOUR drive thru and so far it's been great. Their salas is just ok but at least they make their own and not from a package. I tried their Vampire Juice (beets, celery, carrots & apple) it was fresh made and really good!! Their prices are good compared to most places now.

I had the five rolled tacos with guacamole. It was super delicious. They give you so much guacamole and cheese. You could definitely taste the beef and the tacos. Sometimes , restaurants will not put a lot of meat in the rolled tacos but not here. I was thoroughly impressed
