    Pollo Chipotle with sliced avocado and an El Caminorita   SO good!
    Jill F.

    Excellent food and quick, friendly service. Today, I had the Pollo Chipotle. Spicy, but oh, so tasty! And, large portions! I always ask for avocado on the side, and somehow their avocados are consistently perfectly ripe! I can't achieve that at home!

    This place rips their customers off. Bought a pizza 12inch 1/2 meat lovers and 1/2 vegetarian they…read morecharged me $25+ for it. When I got home I looked at the menu and a 12 inch meat lovers is $13+dollars, a 12 inch vegetarian is $12. I called and was told that I was charged for the meat lovers pizza and then $2 for each vegetable for the vegetarian half. I have ordered this combo at Marco, Papa. John, Domino's and have never been charged for the higher priced pizza not thus ridiculous pricing. I asked that the owner call me so I could discuss this with them and was told that they would call me but they have not. I order their Mexican dishes several times a months since I moved here but will no longer.

    Had to ask for a highchair twice till the waitress pointed where we can grab it ourselves. Fine, I…read moreget that. I got enchiladas supreme, the tortillas where warm, but raw and very obvious from across the table. The salsa and queso were yummy. The table also got the lunch chimichangas and the beans that went with it was literally soup. It was the punchline of the visit. There was a kids burger that was plain and came with nothing. A kids quesadilla that was one store bought tortilla folded in half with some cheese in the middle. It was despicable. The waitress never came back to check on us so I can return the food and possibly get something else. Couldn't find her so I had to grab my own extra napkins. When finally confronted with the bill after everyone else got to eat, I informed her of the issues and she grabbed my plate without saying anything and stormed off. When she came back with the new bill, she didn't say anything and left with attitude. They did take my plate off the bill and it's now memorable for all the wrong reasons. We will be laughing about your refried bean soup for awhile. You can't have horrible customer service and horrible food at the same time. 0/10
