I ordered a puff taco and my daughter ordered nachos. It took a long time and the place wasn't even half full. My taco was over cooked. Our server was just ok

I think it's just the irving location that sucks. Our waitress couldn't get our order right to Dave her life. Food looked grocery store microwaved.

I have to be honest; I stopped coming here a few years ago because there weren't many good options left in the metroplex. I'm glad I decided to give it another...
