Ordered 2 trays of enchiladas, one cheese, one beef for a group meeting. These enchiladas were delicious. Beans and rice were super fresh, and also ordered a pound of barbacoa, with tortillas, pico de gallo, and avocado. It was absolutely delicious, and my group loved it all.

1st time here. IT was 8 of us just want people to be careful and check your receipts didn't know tip was included I over tipped my waiter it would have been nice if he told me that tip was included I just trusted 😞. Took me out with a 50 dollar tip and on top of that didn't charge me for lunch specials charged me full price. I just want waiters to tell their guests when tip is included
