It's been a while since we've been here. Unfortunately something changed with their chicken achiote burrito. It's drier and more salty. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Cashier lady was very pleasant and hospitable but I unfortunately still have to give the overall experience 2 stars as the fries (I ordered Carne Asada Fries) were very burnt (+ soggy at the same time?) and drenched in grease. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

I ordered food on 4/11, and they gave me expired salsa. I tried calling, but the numbers listed do not work. It’s safe to assume if they’re passing out, expired salsa, there’s worse happening behind-the-scenes there Food: 1 Service: 1
