Kids' meals provide generous portions suitable for moderate appetites and represent good value. While the regular adult prices are somewhat high, they're comparable to other restaurants of similar quality. We typically dine here every few months, with the salad bar being the main attraction for us.

There were four of us, and each dish arrived separately, allowing us to finish before the next dish came out. The quality of the food was terrible; one taco was even burnt and they tried to cover it up with parmesan. Seriously, do yourself a favor and dine somewhere else.

When I arrived 30 minutes later, I waited outside for a long time before someone noticed me. I told them I was there for a pickup and was directed to the bar. At the bar, I saw a bag with food and asked if it was mine, but the waiter said no and that my order would be ready soon. After another 15 minutes, I asked a different waiter about my order, which had been 50 minutes since I placed it. She took my name and order, then retrieved the original food. By then, I was frustrated because my food was cold. I shared my frustration, and the waiter promptly brought me fresh fries. Since I was on a work break, I paid quickly and left. Despite the cold food, the tacodillas were tasty. However, due to the delays and inconvenience, I likely won’t return to this location.

Whenever I asked a question, the employees seemed confused. Clearly, there are areas that need improvement. The salad was decent, so I’ll give the restaurant a star for that. The potato was average in taste, which is a plus. However, the soup was served cold, indicating a need for more skilled chefs.
