Keepin it real out here in East ElmhurstGrabbed a chicken torta from the place cause I had some credit left on my app. Quiet in the afternoon but lady at the counter was nice. The torta was pretty fire. I ate it in my car so the food wouldn't get too cold, and the cheese was still nice and stringy, overall very good. It's a 1 time experience and was pretty solid - Benjamin Qiu
