Went there for the first time. Loved it!!! Food is authentic, affordable and fresh. Had the chile relleno burrito and rice. sooo good!!! Very authentic. My new favorite place. Staff is also very friendly
Have been getting my masa for tamales here for over 25 years - best around! a staple in our household every Christmas. I live 50 miles out and what a beautiful drive it is. Christmas eve early morning I pick up my masa and its amazing to see all the same familiar faces behind the counter and kitchen. Everyone is super friendly and its like seeing family. Thank you all at Vargas for making our Christmas a tasty one and for being part of our family.
Good food. Muy buena comida. Para llevar. Los chicharrones muy picantes Para mi gusto . Todo lo demás excelente. Hay suficiente parqueo.
The masa whether prepared or unprepared is the best. The burritos are also excellent. A slight disappointment was an order of taquitos, they were (2) small appeared to be frozen and had the liquid guacamole poured over. Will stick to the burritos. Vargas is very good .
The tamales & beans are the best! The rice is ok but missing something. You can preorder tamales for your holiday meal.
Best bean and cheeese burrito around I ordered the red bean and cheese burrito Fresh fast and delicious
I ordered the red burrito and I'm so glad I did. Everything about the ingredients and taste of this burrito was great! Service was fast and friendly. Parking may be a challenge but worth it. I want to go back and try something else.
