    Special ordered fries were overcooked making them acrylamide nasty stomach ache stinky skin. Basically like smoking a pack of cigarettes in one sitting. They did it on purpose. The warning is clearly posted in Spanish right next to the fryer. I hate you more now than I did when I walked in there sincerely.

    Iced coffee was good, but we had ordered ice tea. When we brought it back, the person who took the order told us they ran out so automatically substituted without letting us know.
