We were there for a family birthday dinner party. Every time we have gone there for a party, no matter how big or how small, they have always accommodated us immediately. Most restaurants, if you don't reserve seating for a party, no matter the size, it takes them a little bit to get your tables/dining area set up. Here, they seat you within a minute. We love the Grain Valley one especially.Parking: This restaurant is in a strip mall on the corner. There are plenty of regular parking spots. They need more handicapped spots tho.Kid-friendliness: They have special coloring sheets and "doodle" sheets for children to do while waiting for their food.Wheelchair accessibility: Need more wheelchair/handicapped parking.

My husband and both got food poisoning and we think it was from the cheese dip, since that is the only food that we ate in common. Service was great, but we will not be back.

My friends I went for lunch yesterday, we had some tall male waiter with his hair in a bun. When he was taking orders my friend ordered a tequila pineapple which wasn’t on the menu. It obviously confused our waiter and he asked what it was and immediately walked away from the table, came back, ID’d my friend and then quickly walked away without taking my order. When he finally came back I mentioned that i wanted to order and he proceeded to tell me I should’ve spoke up and that im just sitting here being quiet and had a really bad attitude about his negligence, trying to blame me for his lack of acknowledgement for me as someone at the table waiting to order. He kept repeating, “what do you want, what do you want” over and over and rolling his eyes and glaring. He then proceeded to loudly talk about us in the Kitchen with other employees, mocking our voices and our orders and then speaking Spanish about it as well, thankfully my friend at the table spoke Spanish and translated what he was saying. Which was funny because he was making things up that didn’t happen to the staff to amplify his version of the story which wasn’t valid. He then proceeded to bring our food out and specifically look at me and say “is there anything YOU need?” He got zero tips from us, which was well deserved. Everyone else here is kind and has always been respectful so this was baffling as he was extremely disrespectful and unnecessarily aggressive to our table.

I ate here recently. A few minutes after I was done eating I felt like I was going to throw up so I went outside. Stomach hurts the rest of the evening. Woke up and had to run to the restroom. It was not a good night. I had the borito Mexicano. This was the most flavorless borito I had ever had. I will never eat here again.
