3.0
My last time there, I bought soup sometime in 2024 (did not have time to complete a review at that time)and it was the worst experience in my life, came home with it and when I served it had a little piece of wire in, looked like the ones the supermarket use to hold the cilantro together. I called them and the girl that served my soup said they will give me a credit for a next time, never ever back there. 🤮 - Brenda Lopez
