Been far too long. Great dinner tonight and wonderful service from Ramona! Enchiladas en Mole were excellent!

I have been going to this restaurant for many years and in the past, it was very good! Lately, I feel they have gone down hill. We went back to see if it was getting any better in quality. They offer 3 sizes of chimichanga. I ordered the largest chimichanga at 3 or 4 dollars more than their "normal" sized meal. I wanted to have leftovers for lunch for hubby the next day. My husband ordered the normal size chimichanga, and a friend ordered the smallest size. When our meals arrived, my husbands regular chimi was larger than my exlg, and my chimi actually matched the size of the smallest chimi my friend had ordered. I asked the waiter about the difference, as he could clearly see my confusion with all 3 sizes supposedly sitting in front of me on the table. He advised, "The only difference in the EXLG chimi is the larger tortilla." So, I paid $3/4 more for a 2 inch larger tortilla? Plus, they didn't even fry the chimi's! These were "burritos," imo. Whatever... as we were out with friends

This is the second time when they didn’t get my order right. I always pick up my orders so I never check right away. Tonight I ordered steak burrito again. When I opened it at home this is what I got. I didn’t know I have to list all the ingredients I want in it. Unbelievable. It’s time to find a place with common sense
