The breaking on the chicken steak meat could've been better. Everything else was a plus!

Got two seafood combos (catfish and shrimp) and the blanco queso.
To start off, the queso and salsa was a fantastic combo with a mild heat from the salsa. Then the queso was an amazing touch with an almost mellow feeling from the cheese after a bite of salsa. 10/10
Then with out meals, the seafood combos. They were quality made with an almost-perfect fry. I do wish they had more seasoning. Regardless is was still really good and I walking out fat and happy. Will definitely come back with the family soon.
