    Burrito was missing the add on I asked for and was charged for. I was questioned if I stole something when I left so I did not feel comfortable going back. I live 3 blocks away and was at the beach all day and was my first food all day and would never steal from the neighborhood I love. Maybe trust regulars, but I can’t be a patron here anymore

    I had my cousin order me 2 chicken enchiladas with rice and beans 2 dinners. I paid $10.19 more than I’m usually charged. Then not thinking anything of it . I see the lady put beans in microwave. 3 minutes later I get my order. I get home and I give 1 of the dinners to my daughter. I begin to eat and the beans are hard not cooked all the way. The chicken enchiladas taste watered down no flavor at all. They microwaved the sourcream and it’s horrible as well.My lips are trembling as if I’m having an allergic reaction to something. The dinner taste sour. I’m just going to toss it out. A waste of money and I’m still hungry.

    This use to be my go to spot, but the quality of food has went down. Beans were undercooked and food tasted bland. They messed up my order and didn't really want to remake it and served me a margarita that tasted like straight mix and asked me to still pay for it since it was getting thrown out. The prawn burrito had cut up pieces of shrimp instead of prawns. I'm just sad it wasn't anything we were expecting. After all these years, it's never been a problem until now.
