Apparently they want you to use the small part of the plate for a shrimp even if it's only one shrimp kind. The gentleman in front of me had more food on his to go plate but I wasn't about to argue the point. I used to come here at least once a week and now I'm finding a new restaurant to frequent. I'm sure they don't care about losing a customer but oh well. When I put no shrimp on my plate it's not less so that makes no sense that I followed the rules of the to go plate and was still charged extra. They didn't even tell me either they tried to sneak the price on me. Only because the guys total for a to go plate in front of me was more I noticed. I think that's what hurt my feelings so much above all else. I had actually ate there with my family already and was taking a to go plate for my son at home who didn't go with us. Also the restrooms smell really bad so I would recommend not to sit near the restrooms.

I understand we may all have some bad days and we may not all know how to separate our personal from our professional job, but you actively chose to work at this job and yet have an attitude towards the reason companies even make your paychecks come alive, the people!

We ordered their smallest option to share and try what their food is like. The drive thru menu board is simple and easy to follow. I ordered the "1 entre/1 side" option for around $5. I chose the General Tso as my entre and for my side, the attendant was kind enough to allow me to get half fried rice and half lo-mein. The portion is very generous and the food looks great! As I try a bit of everything, I realize their taste is very similar to Panda Express. But I like this place a bit more... The chicken is soft and tasty...full of flavor. The sides harmonize well with the entre and my stomach all of a sudden becomes a concert of great taste! Really loved it. Prices are very affordable. Place looks clean and active. Food is a big plus. A well balanced business with a lot of potential. Way to go guys!!!! Give them a try soon.

I really don't think this place gets the credit it deserves. For context, this concept is very…read moresimilar to KPot, which you can find in larger cities like San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and DFW. It's not just Korean BBQ, and it's not just Hot Pot. It's both, and that's what makes it different. I've seen comments mentioning that the self-serve bar is missing items you would normally find at a more traditional KBBQ spot. But I think that comparison misses the point. This restaurant is a hybrid concept, so it's naturally going to look a little different from a strictly traditional Korean BBQ restaurant. Personally, I actually like the regional touches. The fresh pico de gallo, the different salsa options, the chile toreados, and even the tortillas may not be traditional, but they feel like a smart way to cater to the local community and what people here are used to. It makes the experience feel more approachable. As for the food itself, it's pretty good. They offer a solid variety of meats for both Hot Pot and Korean BBQ, along with plenty of vegetables, noodles, and white rice to go with your meal. I do think adding vermicelli would be a nice addition, but overall there's a good selection. The sauce bar has plenty of options as well. I didn't feel like anything was missing. I've been several times now and have genuinely enjoyed the food each visit. Where it has fallen short for me is the service. Most of the times I've gone, it has felt underwhelming. I understand that when you introduce a new dining concept to a region, people are going to have questions about how it works. That's completely fair. But there seems to be a lack of follow up once you're seated. There have also been moments where it feels like there's confusion between the servers and the host stand about who is responsible for which tables. The good thing is that those issues feel fixable with better communication and a little retraining. For this reason alone, I am docking 1 star from my review. Overall, I would still recommend giving it a try. Just go in with an open mind and understand that it's meant to be a fusion-style experience, not a strictly traditional one. I hope this helps!

First time visiting this location…read more First off, this is a small hole-in-the-wall joint, perfect for a visit by Guy Fieri. It was very busy on Sunday but we only had to wait ten minutes to be seated. There was lots of staff, busy bussing tables, taking orders, checking the buffet (more on that later), etc. Their menu is mostly typical Mexican fare, breakfast, lunch and dinner items, so not unexpected with a name like Taco Olé right? The wife chose the Three Chalupa meal which came with rice and beans. Evidently Chalupa means something different than what we expected. What she got was what we refer to as "tostadas" with cheese, beans, lettuce, tomato and jalapeño slices. According to the waitress the distinction lies in what type of cheese is used - shredded vs sheeted sauce and possible whether the tortilla is corn or flour. I'm not sure. Anyway, the wife LOVED them. Particularly after I told her about the different salsas, chopped fresh jalapeños and chopped cilantro that was available at the aforementioned buffet. THEN she was ecstatic! I chose to try their buffet. While it was on the smallish size, the quality of the offerings was outstanding. Their rice and beans were very flavorful to start with. I also had a couple of chicken taquitos with the customary green avocado sauce served on them. There were sone enchiladas, which I didn't try, some chicken in molé, and a couple of items I couldn't identify. There must've been a soup or two as well. I did try a French toast/bread pudding type dish that was very good. Kinda an offset to the savory things I did eat. I also tried a few of the sausage rounds that were grilled. They were ok but I can make that at home so I wasn't wowed. Now..... what I DID find that I can't or haven't made at home was THE BEST Carnitas I've possibly ever eaten! Anywhere! Wow, just so amazingly succulent, tender, flavorful.... I'm running out of adjectives, Lol. I told my wife that they were "little mouth orgasms"!!! I'd go back just for the carnitas. They were that good. Oh, and they serve them with what seem to be house made, fresh corn tortillas too! We definitely will be going back here in the next two months we're in The Valley. No doubt about it!
