"Wow, I looked at the reviews. Everyone giving under 4 stores is a harsh critic. This food was amazing. Ox tail, LITERALLY, fell off the bone. So tender, so much flavor, MASSIVE serving. Do not doubt this place. Wow"
"Very disappointed. My Oxtail portion size was good, but they taste like oil and soap. I'm afraid I'll be dealing with a stomach ache later. Baked Mac&Cheese was good but very small portion. Beef Patty smelled like motor oil as soon as I opened the bag. Didn't even bite into it. I've had better experiences with this place however, they are just very inconsistent. Very disappointed with my order today, especially after paying over $40 for it."

"The Burrito was half empty and had little to no meat Also it seemed as if the food was tossed into the Burrito before wrapping it with holes in the Burrito. The Burrito Bowl was just the same as if some just tossed the food in with no care "
"Every time I order from this chipotle I'm so disappointed. Any other chipotle in Rochester is good this one is terrible. The portions are tiny and today I got a burrito that was inedible because they did not cook the rice literally at all. The rice was rock hard and crunchy. Do not order from this location"

"This mexica pizza was the best I've ever had. This is my comfort food of choice for many things in life. I just suffered a terrible loss and because these employees cared about their job i found comfort through food. Thank you and much love."
"Wasted $39🙄Most of the food was lukewarm at best, and the presentation definitely needs work. I love chalupas, and these were just alright. The black beans helped boost the flavor, so next time I’d probably just get the black bean chalupas. The chicken bowl? A total waste of money. The portion was skimpy, and it definitely ain’t no Chipotle. Honestly, I would've been better off making my own chicken bowl at home. My husband took one look at it and said, “This is just the same thing, just in a bowl" and he wasn't wrong."

The rice was pretty good and the beans, which I put on my fajitas and rice. I didn't give 5 stars b/c I would have liked more queso (extra charge)."

"The only thing good at moms has been the queso. The Quesadillas we received tasted like something we could have gotten for a fraction of the price from Taco Bell. Chewy steak that was full of inedible fat pieces We were missing our sour cream and pico de gallo and our salsa was less than half full. "
"we ordered twice from the same location about 3 weeks apart: the first time was great, portions were full, chicken tasted fresh; the second time was terrible, we were missing two BOWLS of queso, the chicken was fatty and dry, and the chips were stale. would not order from this location again."

The taste of the mushroom was pretty good just upset there was no mushrooms The fried chicken sandwich was extremely salty, the bacon was undercooked, and the lettuce and tomato were wilted.
