First off they messed up on the burrito with topping it with the wrong sauce, which wasn't that big of a deal, but it was when I opened the foil to the asada soft taco is when the real problem started. ”

The homemade chips come out hot, flaky and delicious every time -- fresh spicy hot salsa also is great. ”

But the food doesn't live up -- a bland tamale caked in some tasteless "red" sauce, less-than-fresh Ingredients. ”
