"Absolutely devoured my food & was so better than I expected price was reasonable & I got full everything on the plate was so delicious I forgot to take a photo best I had since the year started will be buying again"
"The price was great for the amount of food, but the quality didn’t quite match the quantity. The fries were placed under the burger and got soggy from the birria sauce, so they would’ve been better in a separate container. The birria burrito and torta had an odd flavor and weren’t very tasty. I’m not sure if it was just the timing, but I’d be willing to try something else in person."

I had a side of rice and a small order of rice and the small was the same amount as the side they just placed in a bigger container. I most like wouldnt recommend the fried Whole Chicken Wings Dinner or the Shrimp Fried Rice. "
"The salt and pepper shrimp were absolut awful, they tasted like chlorine and were mushy. The crust was grainy, the taste would leave you mouth after eat just one. They fries were greasy and soggy. They automatically put ranch on salad, no option available. Boudin was not crispy at all. Tenders were good size, seas but were soggy as well. This meal was awful. "
