Customer Reviews
I was delivering to the Giant Supermarket and this restaurant was in the same shopping center. There is plenty of parking. When I entered the establishment I was greeted promptly. I was able to get my order taken at the register. The cashier and if I wanted my food to go or dine in, so I decided to sit down. The waitress escorted me to a table and continued to make my order at my seat. There are plenty tables and chairs to dine in. The ambiance was very nice and there was some Latin music playing. The food came out hot. I ordered the Queso Dip and Chicken Quesadilla. They were both very delicious.
It's a delight! I love that they now have brunch; the breakfasts are delicious, and the California omelet is so delicious! the service is very friendly and attentive.
I’m not the type that gives reviews period , but this time I had to, I place 2 orders of Fried Sweet Plantains which was a bit more than $12 and specifically asked if they had nicely riped plantains so they’ll be very sweet an caramelize once cooked, because that’s what I wanted and craving , they said they did but I would have to wait because they had to cook them on the spot which I gladly agreed to wait ….. couple of minutes later a got my order to go and when I got home ready to eat my delicious plantains …. It wasn’t even close to what I was expecting and on top of that the plantains didn’t have NO flavor they weren’t even have ripe , no saltiness or sweetness to it Simply NO FLAVOR . Very disappointed . Picture of what I kinda was expecting to what I actually received 👎🏼
The food was tasty, the service attentive, and the restaurant was clean — but unfortunately, the end of the meal left a sour taste. Our party of three ordered nachos, fajitas, a burrito, and enchiladas verdes. The total came to $82.00, and without warning, the restaurant added an 18% gratuity to our bill. When questioned, the waitress said it’s their policy to automatically add a tip once the bill reaches $80. This feels dishonest. Nowhere was this policy made clear, and in my experience, automatic gratuity is only applied to large groups — not small parties of three. Just the day before, I spent $84 at Olive Garden, and no such charge was added. Good food, but misleading practices ruin the experience. I would not be coming back to this place regardless of the good food.
Ordered takeout. Was expecting way better as the reviews are so high. I walked up and waited for my food. No napkins. The box container was open when I received the bag. Ordered the 3 tacos as I do for any new taco place I go to. Chicken, steak, and pork. They all lacked any flavor. The chicken was in thick cubes and flavorless. The steak was dry. And the pork was very greasy. It dripped through the container and bag and still no taste. Only 1 skinny slice of lime for 3 tacos. Very disappointing. Much better options in the area. Look elsewhere if you looking for something that is worth.
