My daughter and I went here today for lunch. She ordered nachos with cheese. I got a burrito on a spinach tortilla, with chicken, a lot of toppings. It was all excellent!! My burrito was super full, as opposed to most burritos you get from other places. We loved it. We really enjoyed the staff, they were very friendly and had good conversation. I have a lot of respect for them being business owners that are proud of their political views!! SIDENOTE: I took a picture of the sign inside of their business, referring to a review left by someone on Google. I tried the salsa, mainly because after reading the sign, I felt drawn to give the "tasteless" salsa a try. I think it was really good. It tasted fresh, had a nice mixture of tomato and cilantro in it - I'd say it was some pretty tasty "tasteless" salsa.

This is a good restaurant with fresh food and great service. A similar restaurant would be Qdoba, Chipotle. My wife absolutely loves it. Myself I like the flavors of Qdoba better but don't let that keep you from trying it. Update: still a good restaurant my favorite so far burrito; chipotle tortilla, Rice, Black beans, spicy chicken, shredded cheese, spinach, chipotle sauce

A rare and beautiful gem located in a tiny hillbillie town of crossville. Clean atmosphere and fresh wholesome delicious food. The place has several walls full of art, the owner is an artist and man ohh man wadda talent! Very pleasant and helpful kids running the counters. Who'd have thought, in this tumultuous sea of stupid (it is tRumpville after all), an island of calm. The best food in crossville.

Good food and friendly staff. If you want the best burrito you ever had, ask for Nathan. The food is fresh and tasty. I like the spicy chicken. It's just enough spice, but not too hot.

Great tasting food, super friendly employees, and good music on their radio. If you like Moe's or Chipotle, you don't have to leave Crossville to get the same thing. The food was delicious and the portions were great. I left full but not stuffed. They even make the tortilla chips and salsa in-house, fresh, and tasty! I highly recommend giving them a try. You'll definitely want to be a repeat offender.

This local spot has become a weekly staple for me! My favorite is the spicy chicken burrito bowl (but I add steak too)! You order like you would at Chipotle (except the food is way better). The food is always fresh and hot. I hardly ever finish my meal and it’s less than 15 for me to eat. Everyone behind the counter is always friendly & the customer service is fantastic.
