- CSCario Stewart5 days ago5.0First-time customer. Ordered online to dine in (custom bowl and fountain drink). Delicious food was ready right when I arrived. Ample parking and tables.
- SSSamNov 16, 20254.0The beans and rice side is way too small for 5$ But the tacos are good value. Just skip on the rice and bean side.
- CSCandice StephensNov 10, 20251.0The food here is unseasoned. I am extremely disappointed at how dry the meat is. I got tacos with barbacoa meat and carne asada and they were both dry. I also got churro’s and they were not sweet at all. I will not be ordering from here again.
- AKAlyssia KingOct 31, 20254.0This establishment is commendable. While it may not fully replicate the experience offered by some prominent companies, it approaches that standard. The ingredients are fresh, and the premises are consistently clean.
- WSWilliam StaffordOct 26, 20251.0Longtime patron but hit my wits end. The price has gone up, but food and service has only gotten worse. Final straw was when they screwed up a a delivery order then didn’t even have someone in the store that was able to help with a refund. Had to call back another day and wait several more days for a refund to process. Headache not worth it anymore, which is sad. Used to be a great chain.
