The food is really good. I get the double Chicken Tostada and it's so good, I keep coming back for more ??.

Love the chicken tortilla soup and tacos. The soup is superb! Suggest you add avocados and sour cream, and you got yourself a meal. The service via drive thru is top-notch! The chicken is great also if you're looking for a non-fried healthier choice. You can't go wrong with their sides, beans, rice, my favorite. Cole slaw, hit or miss!
