    Ordered pollo fundido from here through DoorDash and requested no bell peppers as I’m allergic. They still put a bunch in my food even though I pressed the no bell pepper option. DoorDash wouldn’t do anything about it either. Please read the description when making a DoorDash order! This is the second time it’s happened.

    The food was good but that was the only thing enjoyable. We came in with a large party to celebrate 3 birthdays. They only gave us 1 waiter who barely spoke English. I understand it's a Mexican restaurant but it made it extremely difficult to take orders. Drinks and food both took a very long time to get to us and barely got any refills. Food was delivered cold and wrong and staff got upset when we asked for the right food....language barrier. Also they took my son's food away while he went to the bathroom and we never got it back or compensation. He only took 3 bites. They auto added gratuity which I understand but it felt like they used that to give us terrible service since they would've gotten a tip either way.
