This was supposed to be Chicken Tortilla soup …
The quality has gone way down, soup is bland, no rice, no avocado, they didn’t even fill up the brim for $11…I got a credit on this immediately !! Won’t be ordering again

Went in to place a to go order around 530 on a Saturday, place was almost empty and smelled like sour cleaning towels. Food was okay but this place used to be very busy but has gone downhill in the last 4 years.

I don’t what type of night shift yall have running but to play with someone food is unacceptable. I have been ordering chicken tortilla soup every week and I have never experienced what I have today. My soup was only chicken rice and broth so I drove way back to the location for the manager Mindy to play in my face. Why would you cup up raw zucchini and put it on top of my soup? My main concern was my avocados missing that you claimed you put in the soup yourself and lied they were not there. They don’t just “dissolve “ in your words. Then to remake my soup and cut up raw zucchini. As a manager you of all people knew that was unacceptable.

Restaurant needs some upgrades and a good cleaning. Seats are worn out. Booths not bolted to the floor and make you feel like you’re reclining. Food was good. Service was good and staff was friendly. Went during a slow time and the food took a little longer than expected and arrived only warm, not hot. Do your own math on the tips. These numbers are incorrect for the percentage.
