"This was the worst pot pie I have ever had. Store bought from the frozen section has more flavor and isn't nearly as dry as this.

"I am having difficulty with the app. All too often I cannot give the driver the rating s/he deserves. I got my food delivered in a drenching rainstorm. The driver deserves 5 stars, but the app suddenly skipped past the driver rating and I see no way to go back to rating the driver. This needs to be fixed. Famous Amos Tacos is a restaurant I will be ordering from again! The chorizo taco had plenty of meat, which was very tasty. The smothered brisket burrito was absolutely huge, stuffed with tender brisket, rice, and beans and covered with green chili. It was excellent. The Bronco sauce is definitely very spicy, but good. The churro was hot and crunchy with a hit of raspberry filling inside. "
"I like Amos Tacos' food, but tonight, they were sloppy in their prep work. The chorizo taco was great. A small soft white corn tortilla filled with flavorful chorizo. When I opened the container with the smothered brisket burrito, it looked huge. Enough for two meals, I thought. But when I started eating it, I realized the flour tortilla had been wrapped around the burrito's ingredients in a very loose, sloppy manner. Also, there was hardly any green chile on the burrito to "smother" it. And the refried beans (a very small amount), rice, and tasty brisket were unevenly distributed. "

"Spicy means SPICY, so be prepared for that. Otherwise a very nice dish of Chicken Tikka Masala, the naan was also basically out the oven, and really good as well. Both had very big portions so I have leftovers for the next day :)"
"Garlic Naan was soft, fresh, and very tasty. Dal Makhani had good flavor and a nice level of spice (I ordered medium), but it was quite watered down. If it had been thicker and creamier, I would have enjoyed it much more. The portion size was good for the price. I tried the dal because there was a BOGO offer, but I probably wouldn't order it again unless the consistency is improved."
