"I ordered 3 tacos one of each meat, a pollo quesadilla, and a large carnitas fry recommended by the cashier. The cashier was very nice and had great suggestions. The food came out less than 5 minutes. The worker began working on my food the minute I said what I wanted and amazed me. This is the best Mexican food around!!! 10/10"
