Shocked me to have an amazing breakfast burrito in the middle of Bakersfield. Delicious salsa. Perfect breakfast burrito in a flipping gas station! Amazing!

The store is very clean, which makes for an inviting entrance, along with a verbal greeting. We were helped immediately. Had the Bomb Burrito, with chicken. It was delicious. I really liked the red salsa. Reminded me of my 'buelita. So did the rice! The chicken was awesome as well. We also ordered the chile verde mac. It was very tasty. We didn't add anything to that, but it was tasty as is. Food was made very quickly and the service was great.

Do not sleep on this place! Unexpectedly good service! I was walked through each item to ensure what I wanted on each item. It was refreshing not to be rushed. I ordered an Asada Torta for a friend and the Loco Fries for myself. The meat was seasoned perfectly and the vegetables were incredibly fresh. With the onions having a good crunch and the cilantro having an amazing fragrance! I am in a food coma from eating due to the large portions. My friend who ordered the torta was licking his fingers. Guess that meant it was good. Try this place out! I’m coming back soon to try the torta!
