“I eat at Zantigo, maybe once or twice a month. The food is always hit or miss.
The employees are usually pleasant, some more than others.
However, on my most recent visit, I encountered an employee that was VERY helpful. I had a bunch of special requests, that he made sure were done correctly. His name was Shawn, and if I had to deal with anyone there, I would choose him. Also, the other gentleman working the food line (there were only Shawn and the other guy) , and I'm bummed because his name escapes me, ALSO made sure that my order was done correctly, BECAUSE of my special requests.
Kudos to those two cats!“

“I stumbled across this place while originally looking for food options for an office gathering. We ended up hosting a potluck, but I kept circling back to look at all of the super cool vegan options that they had available. I can definitely say that the vegan pozole and chilaquiles verdes were a hit with my family, and I'm so grateful that they have as many vegan options as they do. They made the items for us the same day, and we were able to pick up our dinner less than an hour after we called. 10/10, amazing experience.

Vegetarian options: The vegan and vegetarian options here are AMAZING. It's great to see places being able and willing to offer food for a variety of dietary needs.“

Like they forget that we are in a country of free expression where one has the right to practice religion YES oh NO and to make our own decisions unfortunately a very good place but it already seems like a Church 😱😱“
