    Cold mediocre tacos and terrible service. Second time here and same result. They forgot our order this time and we spoke with the manager and he completely did not care and said it’s “not his problem”. Date of service was 6pm November 15 at the Water Street location; so the restaurant owner knows which manager to fire. This place sucks. Pathetic.
