My family had breakfast here on Sunday. 6 of us ate for $60 which is cheaper or the same than fast food prices. Food and service were both great. Much better all around than before.

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.
