    Llegamos 15 min antes de su hora de cierre y ya no nos quisieron atender. Éramos 12 personas. Por fin iba a probar ese restaurante y me quedé con la mala experiencia

    Went here on a weekday evening to pick up food for my children. They were out of chicken, the steak was cold, the rice was uncooked. They also were also out of chocolate milk and the tortilla chips were completely broken up in the bag. The workers seemed tired and frustrated. Unfortunately this was a waste of time and money. Based on other negative experiences I’ve had at this location, it seems to be chronically mismanaged and workers don’t seem incentivized to take pride in their work or the quality of the food they serve. Please consider eating elsewhere until the management makes some changes for the better.

    The food quality is below average. The staff is extremely rude and unwelcoming. They handover food with disgust and shout instead of talking. I’m never going back to this place again and won’t recommend either.

    The staff is very rude. Cleanliness and hygiene in the store and kitchen is questionable. I order food online and during pickup the staff started shouting. They is a way to talk with customer and not just throw food or shout. Would never recommend to have food at this place.
