Over the years we have eaten here often. It’s good food and we use to eat there in person but have now started doing carry out. I’ve always been a big believer in tipping at least 20% even for takeout if the service is good and it usually is here. My issue now is that they don’t give you a receipt with the breakdown of the cost, just a total. One day I did ask for receipt with a breakdown and that’s when I noticed that they put a 10% gratuity automatically without me being made aware of it. There’s no notification anywhere stating that. I was adding a 20% tip on top of the 10% without even knowing it. To me that’s not cool or ethical. I know the servers deserve tips and I’m all for it but it should be my decision not the management.

Rice and beans are excellent . Taco was not bad , but a little disappointing. The service was fast. They quickly corrected my order. I would like to go back to try other dishes.

I got the special dinner. It comes with all 4 plates you see for only $11. Just so happens that they also had $1 drafts on Wednesday with the purchase of a meal. The food was good and the service was awesome! I deducted a star because I wasn't a big fan of the cheese dip, it seemed a little watered down.
