- EEEtramaNov 6, 20251.0The flavor of their smoothie was pretty bland. I usually enjoy the Mango Monsoon and Acai Boost at the other several locations i've been, but they really didn’t get it right for these two drinks at this location. I mean, we paid for this drink plus Tip didn't we not? The acai boost tasted like a plain Banana smoothie! 🤷 . The Mango Monsoon tasted nothing like a mango and its sour
- LLLauren LauterwasserNov 5, 20253.0I love their smoothies but the service is often slow. Today when I went it was especially slow, and when I got my quesadilla there was no chicken in it at all. Just a super thin layer of cheese. Very disappointing.
- CSChristy SanchezSep 23, 20255.0I love their smoothies!!! I grab one before work a lot :) only problem is that they often take a long time haha
- KDKat DunnSep 7, 20252.0smoothies are good, but not very consistent. the taste and amount of blended always changes. very very slow. if i order on the app im waiting 20 mins in the drive through for two cars in front of me that each get one or two smoothies. if i go in person it still isn't made. pick up the speed and bring consistency and maybe there would be better reviews.
- AVAlicia VSep 7, 20252.0Don’t have someone at the register that’s going to be rolling their eyes with any questions asked. Don’t order ahead if you wanna be waiting longer than people in drive through. The wraps are good but mainly tortilla. Worst experience I’ve had going there and I have been several times.
