The food was very good and very FLAVORFUL! Also the tacos were a decent size especially since I only had meat and cheese! They do not skimp on portions at this location! I ordered 4 tacos and could only finish 2 lol! They have great customer service as well! Very friendly upon arrival! 5/5 for sure!
