Customer Reviews

This is the best burritos in Texas. The tortilla are homemade and the best I've ever had I can't really say more than that. Whatever you wanted out of a burrito you get it here. The brisket potato egg and cheese with some green sauce is perfection. It may be high priced though but for the quality you get what you pay for.

Used to come in here more often than I do to get burritos. Everything is handmade, and when there isn't anybody else around you can watch them make your food. I always feel great after coming in here. Great food, great service!

Family owned & operated. Home-style prepared burritos for breakfast or lunch. Best brisket ever, excellent enchilada plate, chalupa plate and hamburgers. Excellent homemade salsa. No table service. Order at the window. Watch them prepare your meal or wait to be called - your order is ready. Tiny place- about 6 tables. Family lives next door. Downtown Itasca, South of 4 way stop one block. FABULOUS! Foodies must make this a destination. Breakfast & lunch only.

Karen has about the best brisket and potatoes burito around. Rich, hardy brisket accompanied by potatoes cooked old school in a big iron skillet, topped with a refreshing red sauce or green if you choose. This place is just a hole in the wall but the people are nice and the food is delicious.

The best burritos around. The ingredients are fresh and it shows. You can get a breakfast burrito in a lot of places but this one is worth a side trip.
