We were taken care of by Omar. We asked food suggestions. He was very kind and helpful. I had a You Pick 2 as well as my husband. I had the Carnita Elote Bowl and Broccoli Cheddar Soup with a baguette. My husband had French Dipper and Tomato Soup with chips. The only thing was I didn’t realize the Carmita Elote came with arugula. I don’t like arugula and Omar told me next time I can choose romaine and another green (forgot which). Our meal was well worth the price.
