"When it comes to Mexican food choices in our county we have plenty, so when you find the one that suits your taste buds you stick to it! Mr taco has been my go to spot since they opened! From the family oriented environment to the wittiness of the service we receive they always make sure my family and I not only have a great tummy experience but also a great customer service experience! Hats off to some amazing food and some amazing people! Let’s vote to leave the California burrito in the menu permanently!"
