Good value on average Mexican food. The place is not pretty nor is the food amazing. But if you are looking for something to eat in a hurry or late at night this is the place.

This was my first time eating at this chain and I ordered the Chimichunga Dinner. It came w/ rice, refried beans and a drink. The Chimichunga was large enough to be eating for two meals. I will eat here again before leaving Twentynine Palms/California.

This is a drive thru, with tables inside. There is a large menu, with pictures, on the wall. My partner and I ordered two different plates, but when they arrived we couldn't tell them apart. They looked identical! So much for presentation! Actually, the food tasted quite good, and the portions were generous. The prices, however, seemed a little high... More

This is where we go when my husband and I do not feel like waiting at an actual restuarant for our food! You get a ton of food for your money and the California burrito is awesome!
