    Ordered from the menu on the website. I ordered the ACP described as Mexican Rice topped with Chicken and cheese choosing my side to be refried beans. No rice on was included and I was told that would be extra. That is not what the description stated Will not be going back

    Easily the best Mexican Cuisine on the East Coast! I’ve never had such great hospitality at a restaurant before, until now! Definitely worth your time.

    Ordered food online for 3 people for pickup. 1 chimichanga for one person, 1 chimichanga for another & 3 Street tacos for the other. The 2 people that ordered chimichangas added to each for an extra $1.50 Pico de gallo, sour cream & ranchero sauce. We picked up the order & instead of doing 2 chimichanga orders, they threw them together with no cheese sauce & toppings for one. This keeps happening unfortunately. We requested the toppings for the other chimichanga & they asked how we would like to pay for it!?!? Then proceeded to charge us for huge sides which cost us another $7!!!!! Do not order online. They do not charge what they agree to. Also, the street tacos are supposed to come with green sauce but they will not give it to you unless you request it.
