"SO GOOD! I ordered earlier this morning and the food arrived quickly, it was hot, included an extra container of consume and two hot sauces. The lime included was also cut big in size and very very fresh. The tacos came with two tortillas, and the outer one held a crunch that contrasted well with the tenderness of the meat. The horchata was sweet and filling, and had small cubes of ice to make sure you got the most out of your purchase. All in all, so so so good. One of my favorite places to now get a good meal for reasonable prices! :)"
"The two tacos with rice and beans meal is a good value for the price, and I do think the steak had good flavor. Biting into two huge pieces of cartilage, however, was unappetizing. This isn't the first time I've ordered from here and I'd say half the time, I get a huge piece of chewy fat or cartilage with steak items. Kinda just wish they would trim the steak a little more carefullly at this location because Inever had this problem at the one in farmingdale. "
