- DMDebbie MOct 16, 20251.0Rude drive thru employee 10/15. He was also rude to the person in front of me at the speaker. Forgot my smoothie after handing me my food and then got an attitude when I forgot what the name of the smoothie was. He said "ugh" and walked away laughing when I said it should be stated on my order. Like I had the audacity not to think quick on my feet for him. I even tipped on the app while ordering. I will never do that again or return to this location.
- EHEllen HotchkissSep 16, 20255.0Nunu was the best!! Oaks plaza!!🤩🤩🤩
- CWCharles WaltonSep 12, 20254.0I can't tell you how much I hate fast food. This place however, has me on the hook. I love love love the Baja Chicken wrap with sweet potatoes. And pick a smoothie. I go with the Avocolada. I will get down on this meal and not feel guilty at all. Service is usually pretty decent, but was a little less so this time around. I'll still be back tho! 😋

- ADAngel DayoAug 16, 20255.0Great place and great service! The girls in there were fast and efficient, even though there was a bit of a rush before I was in there. And as always, the smoothies are amazing! They even warmed up my cookie for me.
