    We were waited on quickly and the waitress was very nice and polite. Only issue I had with service was that I asked for lemon for my water twice and never did get any. The music was too loud and my family had a hard time having a conversation. The queso blanco ẁas good and the chips were fresh and hot. They hadn't been salted, but we took care of that at the table. The birria tacos were tasteless and bland as were the beans and rice. I added some queso and salt to try to help them along. No complaints from the kids who got the cheese enchilada, except about their beans and rice. The kid who got the nachos declared himself full after eating one. After further questioning and a taste by an adult, a touch of salt and queso worked to help him almost finish the plate. Overall a disappointing experience. This was our first time there, and we will not be going back.

    The food was great and some of the best I've had in a while. The carne asada was perfect and Kaitlyn did and AWESOME job. Now, we asked for some to go sour cream that we had already paid for and was told Oscar said it would be .40 each, but it was $1.39 each. No one told us that the price would change. I've never been charged to get to go sour cream ANYWHERE!!! I guess we should have been in a police uniform, because you catered to them sitting behind us like royalty and we didn't send food back. OTB must be hurting to charge for sour cream, and to charge so much for a once, Oscar!!!!!
