Best food on sparks road. The tortillas taste like they came straight from heaven.The prices seem too good to be true but its true!, I paid 60 bucks for 2 wraps, that were packed!. The overall food is better than anything I've tested on this planet. I might have rethink weather I'm on earth or in heaven after eating this. Would 1000% recommend.

The environment is neat and well-maintained, creating a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are exceptionally friendly and courteous. However, seating capacity is limited, making it challenging to accommodate all customers comfortably during busy periods. Additionally, the wait for food was quite long, but the quality and taste made it well worth the wait. Overall, the prices are reasonable and offer great value for money.
