I have mixed feelings about this place. I haven't been here in quite some time. It's more of a 3.5 for the food but I rounded it up because of their horchata. The horchata checks off all I look for in horchata. Smooth, creamy sweet and no chalky aftertaste. You can get three different sizes for cups and they charge $1 for refill if you're dining in. To note this place only accepts cash. They have an ATM but if you're not trying to pay service charges on a  ATM make sure to bring cash. It's called El Famous Burrito so might as well get a burrito right? It's huge and stuffed with your choice of meat, beans, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Nothing fancy about it but it will fill you up. I was sad to find out they don't serve the spicy carrots and peppers in the side anymore. The steak was a bit chewy in places but overall decent. The rice was bland. I poured salsa into it to give it some kind of flavoring. The chicken taco was pretty decent too. They have a drive through which is convenient. Also the space to sit inside is plenty if you'd rather dine in. Honestly this could just be a go get horchata place for me as there are many other places I'd rather get food from. So summary: Horchata 5/5 Food 3/5 Service 4/5

Although they have good food, their lack of customer service is questioable. I had famiy come in from California and ordered 2 burrito dinners and 2 regular burritos, tacos, etc. We asked they put everything in the burritos, extra avocado, onions, lettuce, tomatos, cilantro, sour cream. Everything was put in the burritos except the avocados. I called and was told what you want me to do about, and I responded I should get refunded for them. They wouldn't honor refund and asked me to bring back the burritos, how can I do this when we had started eating them which is when we noticed no one got avocados. It's not about the money, it's the principal. No business for them from my end
