“The food was great !”

The food was great !! The atmosphere was fine The only reason why I gave them four stars on service is because I had to wait longer to get my check then I had to wait for my food

“Ordered Torta Dinner through the drive thru.”

Ordered Torta Dinner through the drive thru. It took a while (15 min) but was pretty good. My first thoughts on the torta were that it kinda looked like a panini. The flavors were all there. Would probably call ahead next time.

“Food was good, although tacos were very small.”

Food was good, although tacos were very small. Portions seem very stingy here... $5 for a slither of cheesecake is absurd.

“I’ve be comming here for months since the beginning of the year about 2-3 times a day.”

I’ve be comming here for months since the beginning of the year about 2-3 times a day. And at first the food was amazing and then I guess they fired or lost the original cooks and the restaurant has gone down hill since. I use to love to come in and eat till I kept getting nasty attitudes from their oldest waitress. She is old and white and always has an attitude when I’m ordering… she once brought me a plate and tried to get aggressive with me because she put the order in wrong and then realize she messed up and didn’t even apologize, ever since then I refuse to eat inside. I rather not tip and go thru the drive thru and eat at the comfort of my car to avoid her nasty looks…. The other waitress are cool and attentive tho, they noticed I stopped comming in and would ask why but to avoid drama and anyone from messing with my food I’ve kept quiet. I usually get the cecina plate but recently my order comes messed up . I’ll ask for no beans and they’ll still slap them in and all my food will be battered in beans . Sometimes I’ll return the food and they’ll be nasty and just wipe off the beans like I won’t notice. After that I stopped asking them to fix it and just ask for a refund or water to avoid them from doing such things. I notice they don’t serve alcohol but the line cooks are always walking in with 24 packs and buchanans… I guess that’s why they always mess the food up now … cause they always drunk. The last few times I’ve ordered I’ve gotten raw cebollitas, old expired chiles. Bogus avocado, and nasty sink water rice.sometimes they run out of proteins and skimp me out… So I switched it up and ordered 3 $4 tacos that were the tiniest tacos I’ve ever seen. And on top of it they made em wrong and I had to drive back to return one. I try to explain , but there first reactions are to pass blame around … which I don’t care for, they like to take orders fast like we’re at McDonald’s or something and mess up and at this point idk if it’s the drunk line cooks or the busy waitress…I don’t need nothing for free just what I payed for. I don’t need nothing extra.
