What diners say — our read

The most recent reviews here are worse than the older ones — 3.8 against 5.0. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.5 stars. After that, pacing appears most often — 30% of the corpus, averaging 4.7.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (14 reviews). A third strand, freshness, appears in 20% of them at 3.0 stars. The split is 16 positive to 3 negative across 20 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle.

On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a B (88/100) with 1 high-priority and 4 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews. DBPR last walked in on February 5, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 45% of the Volusia County restaurants we grade. The citations behind that grade include clean clothes and wiping cloths.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    Always a great experience with food and service. Quick and easy ordering. Taco Tuesday slaps! Only criticism is tables, chairs, and benches can be dirty sometimes. But, to be fair, it can get busy and hard to keep up for employees and a lot of customers are just overtly messy.

    Always so good!!!

    Staff were nice but my order was wrong and it was so dry it was hard to eat… Tuesday Special 2 tacos $7.99 for a plate that cost them maybe $0.50 to make lol.

    I love the food and atmosphere

  • May 19, 2026

    Hardly ever give out one star ratings but this place is trash. Go somewhere else where they actually warm the food up #basura

    Food was great, and service was fast and friendly! The place was packed because of the music festival, but everything was great! Highly recommend for a quick casual meal.

    Quick and delicious!

    Great atmosphere, very clean dining area and the employees were super friendly but the food is just ok. It’s basically a fast food version of a Tex-mex joint. The chips and queso are really good and they have amazing hot sauce bar!

    Staff is amazing and the food is always fast and delicious. One of our favorite stops when traveling from Orlando to Jax.

    Employees were appreciated and welcoming usa there and very nice and attended to the tables

  • April 17, 2026

    The chips, salsa, guacamole and queso were really good. The food was quick and delicious.

  • April 16, 2026

    Shouldn't be too hard to spoon ingredients on a burrito shell and roll it but they could use some lessons.

  • April 6, 2026

    The manager Noah was excellent to work with on our catering order. We had to modify it to meet our schedule and he was very patient and helpful throughout the process to make sure 60 people were fed on time. Thank you Noah for your five star service. We will definitely recommend your restaurant to our friends and family!

  • March 28, 2026

    Absolutely amazing food as always. Little rough around the edges though as far as the inside goes.

  • March 25, 2026
