I sent my husband today for what I thought will be a treat. Normally, my food is great and today I'm really hungry. But today my burrito was burnt and my fries are dark and crunchy. I'm so disappointed. What a waste
was good but needs to have a faster service they have a 1 server waitress for a busy sunday night we wait more than 30 minutes to be serve and I ask some food to go and I waited another 20 more minutes.. the food is good
Small steak burrito for $14+. I'll never go there again... Also there's this one older waitress whose taller than the other one, the taller waitress works in the afternoons and she's horrible. Ripoff!$$$
