I ordered the sirloin, it was ok, a tiny bit over cooked. I was pleasantly surprised that they had asparagus. Burgers and fries were good. I had a house margarita, it wasn't my favorite but still ok.

When we got back to the table they had removed our food with the thought we had left without paying. My husband had 2 bites of his steak. I personally told the young lady not to fret but it didn't help due to my husband's anger over the whole thing. So we didn't have to pay but left without dinner. Not happy and will not go again.

Upon arrival, the interior is almost the spitting image of the Mexican restaurant not 3 blocks up the road (same owners). We were seared by friendly staff. The menu was Dang near the same as the mother restaurant. 3 pieces of Bacon? Bout $5. Almost all meals stuck around $11.99. Which is mind-blowing, imo. Within 5minutes of seating, I needed to utilize the rest facility. Initially the door was locked, so I waited. After a small time, astaff member exited the bathroom. Upon entering I was overcome with the strong scent of a somewhat full Porto potty. The urinalwas already inoperable. Urine had already started the separation process from breaking down. There was also dip spit in theurinal. The floor was soo sticky around the urinal, that my slip on shoe almost came completely off my foot. That was the nailin the coffin. The state of the bathroom was enough to avoid ordering anything. Especially when the last person in there wasstaff. And the sink was as dry as a bone. We paid for coffee and left.

All the wait staff were friendly, and taking care of business, as far as I could see. I had the Bulgogi, whichwas tasty.
