“ Great food and the lady at the drive through is so nice ”
“ I loved my breakfast burrito. It was big, reasonably priced, and piping hot. They have an awesome salsa bar, and a dessert selection that looks great. I'll stop in again on my next trip to Tahoe and try something else off of their extensive menu. ”
