Sean M.Sean Mendoza: Try the salad with barbacoa, guacamole, black beans and fajita mix. Truly the best salad on the planet... Okay I'm biased.

Brian W.Brian Weiss: I love their sofritas, so much tastiness in a burro.

For a lower-carb, higher glycemic index meal, get the bowl without rice and have black beans and fajita vegetables instead!
