In the summer of 1997, tragedy struck! Shirley lost her life to a drunk driver in an automobile accident. Her daughter, Mary Ellen, continued on with the burrito business. One small restaurant in Belen has grown to four locations including Los Lunas, Albuquerque and Bosque Farms.

Today, Mary Ellen is still continuing Shirley’s tradition of serving wonderful homemade food in a hurry. The menu includes all the original favorites: Carne Adovada, Beef Steak, Potatoes, Beans, and much more. Production continued to be an in-house process where they make everything on the menu fresh daily, from scratch, just like you would at home.
