    honestly they’re very judgmental here. i ask for no cheese on a melt, I understand it’s ironic and that’s the “melt part” but I really just enjoy it that way. they’ve always done it and it’s always come out fine, but recently they’ve gotten rude and ruder. Every time I do ask for it they scoff and speak about how it shouldn’t be like that. the staff is quite inconsiderate, and I don’t think I’ll be coming back. you’re always going to be looked at in an ill mannered way here if you do anything different.

    Awesome blackened chicken Caesar burrito. Quick service, clean restaurant and a military discount.

    The older Spanish lady with the glasses and the young Spanish guy are very nice. Besides them, there’s nothing really else good to say about this place. Every other cashier comes up very aggressive to the customer, as if they don’t even want to be there. My coworkers share similar experiences and I’ve seen it first hand with the customers in front of me. I understand some customers can be frustrating but working with patience should be a must in the job description. The drink machines are rarely cleaned and I saw many black specks floating in my drink(possibly mold). I wish there was a closer fast food mex style restaurant nearby. I made my order as fast and as simple as possible, but even that seems to be too much.

    I went here with my mom to get a diet coke and it was literally just the syrup, no carbonation. we tried legit every single other drink and they were all so so bad. I left with water. we told the guy working there and he just said “oh”. no apology or offer to refund. very very unprofessional and super disappointing. will not be coming back:/
