I ordered the Grande Nachos, and when they arrived, I was surprised to see that all I could see was melted cheese, a small scoop of guacamole, and a side of sour cream. I was about to say something when I noticed that the toppings (diced tomatoes, onions, olives, and jalapeños) were actually underneath the cheese. This left me a bit confused, as I expected the toppings to be on top, which is how nachos are usually served. I didn’t take a photo since I only had a 30-minute lunch break and needed to get back to work.

The food fell far short of expectations; the margarita tasted like lemon water, and the salsa resembled spicy marinara sauce. It's safe to say I won't be returning here.

Although we were told there would be a 10-minute wait, it ended up taking closer to 30 minutes, and there weren’t many customers inside. We spent $15.15 on two beef tacos, rice, beans, and fries. The beef tacos reminded me of Taco Bell rather than anything special. While the rice was decent, the beans were excessively salty, and the fries were undercooked. The only greeting we received when we walked in was a simple “hello.” I wouldn’t recommend this place; my boyfriend even started experiencing stomach pain afterward. If you want to avoid any discomfort, I suggest steering clear of this restaurant.

We arrived at 8:30 as a group of four, but they refused to seat us and only offered takeout. We definitely won’t be returning! read more We arrived at 8:30 as a group of four, but they refused to seat us and only offered takeout. We definitely won’t be returning!

The food was disappointing. I've been here twice, and both times the taste was terrible.

My breakfast burrito used a pita instead of a tortilla and was so messy, leaking juice everywhere.
