A disappointing meal. Food lacked flavor, service was inattentive, atmosphere was blah. We would’ve been happier at the McDonald’s across from this place! I ordered a salad that came with hardly any dressing and a tortilla soup that was decent but was thick like refried beans, which they served without a spoon. My wife ordered a taco plate with tortilla chips and a tiny little cup of salsa, just larger than a thimble! We won’t be going back!
