Self-consciously unpretentious, while charging exorbitant prices for drinks and it will cost you $2.50 just to get chips and salsa to the table.  If you really look, you can find a meal that’s under $10, but not much under.  The chicken burrito I ordered was OK-but I had to do a little searching to find the chicken, as the burrito was mostly black beans and rice.  The flavor was good, if a little bland, but if you’re looking for Tex-Mex, this is not the place.  Of course, if you’re looking for Tex-Mex in Pennsylvania, you might be looking in the wrong place anyway.
