I’ve ordered from here 3 times and each time I’ve asked for no rice with my meals and I have received rice each time. Very disappointed.

A few issues during my takeout experience. First I called the restaurant to ask about the soups and their prices. I was told *one* large caldo was 17 dollars when paying in cash and 18 with card. I wanted two so I figured they'd be 36 dollars...When going online to order, they were 8 dollars... I ordered two and with taxes it came to 22 dollars. When my husband went pick it up he was charged 26 though...

About the soups, the caldo de res was okay, but the meat was chopped in big blocks and was kind of hard. The lime was completely dried out, I swear not one drop of juice came out. The tortillas smelled like PERFUME (or cleaner/detergent?) And had a taste of cleaning product as well, I ate one and tossed the others all out. The menudo smelled like excrement. It was a very strong manure smell and obviously the belly was not cleaned properly. I saved it to eat the next day and was only upon heating it that I noticed. I immediately smelled an awful p**p smell and then was shocked and sad when I realized it was my dinner. It also left the unpleasant smell in my fridge and microwave. Yay. I didn't dare to taste, just threw it out too.

All in all, I do not recommend it.
