Staff couldn't understand when we asked for salt. We were told that they don't have salt. They need less Spanish only speaking people at cash register and with the servers preparing the bowls so they understand English to know words like salt. The windows need better shading because late afternoon the sun is too bright on the dining area. Food was really good but they need to improve on hospitality.
