We were seated right away and the waiter took our drink orders at 5:20, our drinks arrived at 5:35, at 5:40 the waiter took our food order. At 6:10 he came to our table and informed us that they lost our food order and that he needed to get our order again and that he would "rush" our order through. Now you have to understand that our order was nothing more than tacos....all the fixings are ready to go, all they have to do is slap them together and get them out to us. Remember that he took our food order once again at 6:10 and he was going to "rush" our order through?.....our food didn't get to our table until 6:50. Don't get me wrong, the food is awesome but the service was awful!

We order drinks but did not get asked if we wanted a second round. We order chips and dip but only received 1 basket of chips prior to our main meal being served after asking for it right away. I order the tacos - Gyro (my favorite!), beef and potato and ahi tuna. I will not get the tuna again - lacked flavor and really dry. I will go back to my go-tos next time.

We celebrated a birthday with 6 and 2 kids and they were so accommodating. The staff is always so friendly and helpful! Plus the food is out of this world. I’ve never had a smothered queso burrito I don’t love! We’ll keep coming back!
