I always order from them until today I ordered birria tacos and yknow it comes with the consomé sauce, there was a straw wrapper in the sauce, the worse part is I didn’t even order any beverage how da heckDid this happen?! So grossed out. I called the restaurant they didn’t take no accountable whatsoever not even a simple apology. I toldThe owner I would write a review and she encouraged me; that’s how you guys treat your loyal customers !? I’m 3 months pregnant so you know how annoyed and grossed out I am. Do better! Never again. Disgusting place and attitude. I read another review on here that their food had bugs in it. If you care about your health eat somewhere else! - Javonie Daley
