“ Shout out to John who is one of the managers here. We love going to this restaurant and always ALWAYS have such a good experience but John really did go above and beyond for us for a problem with a third party delivery service. We are all sick with the flu and decided to uber eats delivery from here. They made our food on time and everything. The issue we had was the driver. (Side note we also tipped him like 35% and ordered priority so the food would still be hot when we got it. We only live like 15 minutes from this location) but our driver took over an hour to deliver our food. Not only did this driver make multiple stops to different apartments in different neighborhoods but also turned around twice before actually delivering our food. He even ignored our calls and texts. We were in the middle of chatting with uber support about canceling the order and only getting a 5 refund when he delivered the food and the chat disappeared. We tried reaching out to uber eats but got absolutely no where. Their automated AI email response was let the driver know and maybe he’ll do better next time. Also our bag was opened, food was obviously cold and messed around with. Needless to say we were completely upset but again not with the restaurant but with uber eats. We ended up calling to see if he could reach out from the merchant side and try to help us and John actually refunded us (which he did not have to do because it was not the restaurants fault) and he reached out to uber eats through the merchant side to try and get things handled there. Moral of the story is just go pick it up, eat inside so you can tip the right people, and don’t use uber eats. Again thank you sooooo much John! ”
“ Me, my son & and daughter met for lunch here. It was my first time eating at this restaurant. We sat in an outdoor patio. Nice! The waitress was friendly and waited for us to order with patience. The food was very tasty and served hot. ”
“ Wow what a gem! It wasn’t Tuesday, it was for sure Saturday but we were down for some tacos and enchiladas! Margaritas were definitely on the menu and we had plenty of them! Tried the non-frozen flight margaritas and the big frozen ones. They had an amazing deal where you could buy up to 4 items in a section for a very low amount! We had the 2 item and 3 item meal. The 2 item was 9.99. I ordered 2 fish tacos and a beef enchilada for which melts in your mouth. A great workout across the street at LA Fitness, then great food Well until next time my foodies #keepemhungry ”
“ I don't know why this company is having problems. The food is consistent and tasty, well presented, and their thin chips are the best. Portions were ample and made for a good sized lunch from the leftovers. Excellent service and quick turnaround times. Saw a group of 6 come in. That then became 8. Then 9. Then 12. They had clearly not planned for this and the staff did everything they could to accommodate this growing group. I sure hope they tipped well! ”
