Yes, eat hereJudged 7/10/2026

The two most recent inspections (2026-06-23 and 2025-07-28) found no violations at all, and the June 2025 issue with improperly cooled burritos was promptly caught and the food discarded. Older problems like rodent droppings and dirty equipment from January 2024 have since been resolved, so current conditions appear safe to eat.
