This has always been a reliable place for us. Always super tasty and fresh. It's never not been fresh before, no complaints. Service is fast, staff is understanding and sweet even after I said I only wanted rice, beans, cheese, and the protein on mine. Atmosphere is chill and prices are reasonable. I strongly recommend.

Chipotle style mexican, assembly line fashion. Excellent unique quesadilla's what I usually order. They put it on the bottom and cover it with rice, beans, meat, salsa, lettuce, lime, sour cream, and cilantro. The top eats like a salad, and then you can roll up the quesadilla and eat it with the toppings! It's delicious! The tacos and taco salads are great, too. Tons of salsas and dressings to try. Usually, do Pico (mild) and hot salsa, and sometimes try the others. Gf loves the soyrizo with mushrooms and sweet potato. (Vegitarian) My only complaints are their hours. They close at 8pm even in the summer (before the sun sets), which doesn't make sense to me. As I'm finishing my summer activities around 8pm and by 8:30 it is closed. During the off season 8pm works fine.

Hands down the best! The food is always great quality and the staff is friendly. Lots of spots to sit, and very affordable prices. I usually get a salad and the vegetables are always fresh. I recently tried their “soyrizo” and it’s amazing. I stop here whenever I’m in Wells and wish I lived closer! 11/10 would recommend.

Stopped in today, Christmas Eve, looking for a quick bite. I know it can stink to be working today- despite this, the girls at the counter were so bright and cheerful. They were kind and funny, and provided excellent service. They also were very knowledgeable about a gluten allergy. Besides the service, the food is excellent. So delicious and we can’t wait to come back.

We had our rehearsal dinner at Las Olas in October and it was perfect! The catering manager Fresia and the store manager Sarah were so helpful, thank you!

Holy s#!. Stopped in while my Tesla was charging at the Supercharger around back. Surprise... had the best chimichanga I’ve ever experienced. The ingredients... so fresh. Not fancy, but comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommended.

This is definitely fast mexican but in the best way possible. They food is fantastic. They actually care about food allergies, and I feel perfectly safe to eat this with a severe gluten allergy. Some of the tables are dirty, and it feels like a fast food restaurant.

Great local alternative to chains like Chipotle, and more importantly,, so much better! Lots of options and fresh good food. Always plenty of parking, even in the busy summer months. (Not that there is a Chipotle or whatever in Wells)
