"SOOOOO good and they gave me extra chicken! the fries were kinda cold when they came but tbh it was still rlly good my go to order frfr "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

"The Crunchy Taco Supreme® was extra fresh and tasty tonight! All the sauces were included too as ordered. Very pleased with my order this evening!"
"I was told my order was ready at 4:55pm after I placed my order at 440pm. I went to the restaurant and they hadn't even started on my order and I had to wait almost 20 minutes later for my food.
Once i got my food, it tasted bad, the potatoes Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes unfortunately were hard and stuck together.
The Enchirito® had a horrible flavor and was overdone in sauce. the Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza just didn't smell good and the Pink Passionfruit Refresca Freeze was semi melting when I received it"

"best place for street tacos and the first place to do 3 Mini Adobada tacos correctly that I've tried. would order again. Great portions. good value."
"Genuinely sensational, some of the best Super Carne Asada Fries i've ever had, well portioned and the fries were at a perfect crisp, the sauce had a sharp spice to it and every ingredient harmonized well. Wonderful experience will for sure be ordering again. Only improvements that could be made is if there was a salsa on the side option that you could order from the doordash app without having to call, if there already is that's my mistake. Definitely recommend! :)"

"bro I ordered here because others mentioned they package it well
they weren't lying. everything was super fresh. the French Toast with 2 Eggs wasn't soggy. I got eggs over medium and they were perfectly cooked.
the Fruit was good, but too much melon for me. all good tho. (no photo sorry)
syrup and butter packaged separately and didn't open.
I suggest y'all tip well especially for breakfast because the driver was there early and got me the food quick. don't be cheap and expect things to arrive in a decent amount of time
but bro no napkins or utensils. luckily I had some at the hotel. probably my fault."
"Wow blew my expectations out of the water especially when ordering late night at 2am. Each ingredient came together in perfect umami harmony; soft brioche bun, perfect amount and crisp on the hashbrown one a good meaty sized singlepatty cooked to order, fried egg, and country gravy that just brings it all
Together. Got half fried half rings for the side and they maintained its fried goodness and seasoned. Planning to book and order again. "
