"I ordered twice from this place. The first time they gave my order to someone else. The second time, they forgot my Orange Cream Shake and Caramel Cheesecake Bites. The shrimp and fish tacos were hit with shrinkflation for sure. NGL I took a bite of the fish taco before getting irritated enough to come write the review so lmao disregard the bite from the taco.
