- CRCarlos RamirezJan 3, 20265.0Daren’s service is amazing. The food is perfect early in the day or later at night.
- HCHouston C.Jan 1, 20261.0They were out of multiple menu items and the customer service was non-existent unless you count the kiosk. No one there to take your order or help with anything. Extremely disappointed and not going back. I really expected more from HEB. This is just sad.
- RJRachel JensenDec 24, 20253.0I beleive customers should come first, when ther is a line. Get Off the Phone. Get thre order then make your call! Then maybe the food would have tasted better. Barque is better when its Hot. Not cold.
- JPJorge PerezDec 22, 20254.0Great food! Im sensitive to spicy food, so only recommendation is to not put so much pepper. Still absolutely delicious, but dang is it a lot of black pepper.
