    The place had a cool 1950's ambience. It made you feel like you back there and then. The photos of 1950's people, school events and activities served to give a nice nostalgic feeling. The food was very good: we had chili dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, chicken tenders and cheese fries.

    Frequently forgets parts of your order, be sure to thoroughly check your bags before leaving the drive thru window. When you do have to come back, expect nothing (not even a half hearted apology).

    Got a burger here and it just was not very flavorful. It was actually very dry. Though I did get if quick so that is something.

    To not tell customers to go to a certain window, have no one at the first window and then complain about people not stopping at the first window is insane. I don’t usually leave reviews but that is actually crazy behavior to complain in front of a customer because you didn’t do your job and blamed it on them.

    The person ringing us up I assume was the manager he was great all the porttillos vibes in earth. The rest of the staff seemed bored to be there backs turned not responding to customers fast. Whispering and laughing every time one walked away. And the food was the lowest quality porttillos I may have ever had. Dull limp fries were just the start. I know porttillos can be better. Hope to visit again and taste what I know you can be.
