Outside:

Jake: We went here at lunch because it is convenient to work. Parking at lunch is a bit spotty. It is a very popular place to eat.

Hoppy: This is my newest "most favorite" place to eat. The exterior is colorful and festive, proudly upholding their Mexican heritage. The parking is sufficient although they do fill up during peak eating times. Once you get familiar with the area, it is easy to get in and out of.

Inside:

Jake: The place offers a full bar, which does not interest me all that much as I cannot drink and then go back to work.
The lunch special is more than reasonable in price. $4.50 at the time of this writing. Their portions are enormous, I had fajita beef burrito and it was wonderful, although I was unable to eat more than half of it. They offer a fifteen inch burrito and we tried that one the first time we went. I can only eat a quarter of the fifteen inch burrito.
The waitresses are very nice although not totally conversant in English. There is ample seating and the place is sparkly clean.

Hoppy: The first thing I noticed was the simplicity of the furnishings and that everything was clean. The floor was spotless. The second thing I noticed was the Hispanic/Latino Pop music being played. Jake and I both love this type of music and enjoyed it while there.
The waitresses were lovely, attentive, and quick. We were given the usual basket of chips and two sauces, one red and one green, to dip chip into. I totally fell in love with the green sauce, although I nearly burned the back of my throat with it. YES! Gotta love it!
I had the chicken burrito and as usual, their portions are extremely generous! I could only eat half of it, but with this food, it is better as leftovers. They were not skimpy with the meat which was very moist and tender. Their flour tortillas are to die for, as they have a taste that I find highly appealing. The food fairly screams "fresh," a big plus to me.

After Thoughts:

Jake: This is the only place I have ever eaten at where the green hot sauce is too hot for me to eat. The red is very hot and very good….but the green is smoking!!

Hoppy: I hope to try everything on their menu. This place is well worth the effort to find if you haven't been there yet.
