I absolutely adore this place. On most days the wait is under 5 minutes. Their guacamole is amazing - I always buy a cup of it even though you can get little containers of them for free next to the salsas. I definitely recommend coming here. I think this goes without saying, but come prepared to speak Spanish because they don't always have bilingual staff present.
