"All our food was labeled and pack perfectly and tasted amazing. I did notice the lids to our drinks stayed on but there was a minor space on the side of the lids that didn't hold it down all the way but the bottom of the lid which is the part that keeps the lid on was there but not as strong if you grabbed the drink from the top the cup would probably drop but I'm assuming it is because it is recycled which a plus but I think it was a minor error in making it. If you grab the drink quickly or tilted it a little to sip it from the straw the drink would leak from the side of the lid. Ended up moving them to our regular cups. Otherwise the drinks tasted great."

"For the price the food was definitely not worth it. A nearly 6 dollar taco shouldn't taste unseasoned. The rice was hard and stale. However the fries came out really good and tasty. The rest however was wildly disappointing. I would not order again."
