One would normally describe this as a "hole in the wall" type of Mexican joint, but it's not. It really is a cut above. The food is a LOT better prepared than typical hole in the wall's (HITW), and the quality of ingredients is also typically much better. But it's called a HITW because it's small, the interior is fairly cheap, and the food isn't served on fancy dishes. A burrito ordered from here will taste much more like a burrito from a nicer restaurant than, say, Santana's. The only reason I ever use La Posta or Los Panchos instead of Cabais is because 1) It's after 9 PM, or 2) I need hardshell shredded beef tacos, something sadly lacking from the menu. My favorites - the grilled chicken, chicken fajita, and ground beef burritos, as well as the ground beef tacos. The quesadillas are nice to change it up, and the bacon, egg and cheese breakfast burrito is a staple in my diet. The one reason that this place does not get 5 stars : hot sauce stinginess. If you eat in this is not a problem, they give you your own personal squeeze tube thingo (you know what I mean). But, even though I probably average about 5-7 meals a week there (hey, it's only half a block away!), when I ask for take out, I ALWAYS have to ask for extra hot sauce. They know me to the point that they start making my food when they see me walk in, but for some reason, they always put just one hot sauce in the to go bag, even though every time I ask for a second. (And yes, I tip.)

This is my favorite place to eat for lunch near my work. It is a friendly, family owned establishment that has authentic and healthy mexican food, along with sandwiches and salads etc. I always get the potato burrito, but my wife likes their seafood options and my coworks say the breakfast and carnitas burritos are great.

Amazing fish tacos, mahi mahi burritos and other burritos are REALLY GOOD not like just any Mexican food place, no these burritos are special and are made perfectly and shrimp or mahi magi burritos are again I repeat a must try
