    I’ve been to this location a couple of times, and unfortunately the same rude employee took my order today as the last time I visited. He’s a younger white guy with ginger hair and both times his attitude has been unbelievable. Zero customer service, very hostile, and just gives the weirdest energy. Today I had my cat sitting calmly on my lap in the car, and out of nowhere he looked at him and said “evil cat.” Completely unprovoked. Who even says that to a customer? The lack of professionalism is honestly shocking. On top of that, my order was wrong again. I ordered three cilantro garlic tostones and they only got half of it correct. The other half was something totally different, with bell peppers I never asked for. I didn’t realize until I got home and then while eating my pork, I literally bit into the longest hair I’ve ever found in food. I had to pull it out of my mouth. It was disgusting and unsafe. I could’ve choked. I already filed a complaint with corporate because this location is completely unacceptable. Between the rude, inappropriate employee and the disgusting food quality, I definitely won’t be returning. clearly, whoever is running this location does not know what they’re doing. Avoid this location at all costs.

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. They always forget something because all they do is talk to each other. They don’t work at all. Every time I go there they forget at least two things. The most useless team of workers I’ve ever seen. I always ask for Caesar dressing on the side and I even see it printed on the receipt but they never do it. Who ever is running this business and hiring this useless team of chatty workers is failing. The store number on the website isn’t even a store number it’s a customer service line that makes you do a 20 minute questionaire and then just hangs up on you and sends you a text message saying they can’t process refunds on the same day. Horrible horrible location.
