The gentleman who had taken my order in the drive-through was very friendly. My order was fresh and accurate. Quite disappointing that the sauce in the packets has changed, it is not the same.

Tacos were fresh and proportioned perfectly (a lot of places will skimp on meet and cheese, then go overboard on the lettuce. I got a grilled chicken crispy taco. And, a soft shell steak taco. Ordered the potato ole’s with light seasoning. Staff was friendly and professional.

We used the app to order and picked up food from the drive through. We had ordered a 6 pack and a pound asking for no lettuce on them and we ordered another 6 tacos which were supposed to be on special of taco Tuesday with a order of nacho cheese for the potatoes. That is what was ordered, unfortunately that isnt what we received. We had 12 tacos all soft shells and with lettuce and we only received what was almost ½ the cheese that we generally get from a serving of cheese. Unfortunately were charged an additional $12 for the order. While we were unable to bring this order to the staffs attention at the time we had multiple children with huge hunger and didn’t notice the error until the kids had already torn into the food. I would like to report that the staff took care of this situation by making a new order or some form of credit unfortunately when I tried to call the store I was told well that’s what you got too bad. Then the person on the other side of the phone hung up on me. I would suggest if you were looking for some tacos try some other location or company.

Ordered 12 tacos: 6regular &6no lettuce but got 12 regular so had to pick the lettuce off (no biggie just inconvenient) not a big enough problem to go back just annoying. Otherwise it was ok. Still cant order some sodas on the app though.

Go there because I do the 25% off coupons. Depending on who’s working the window is what kind of service you’ll get. Charlie is very nice, other kid not so much. Can have somewhat of a rude tone.

2 taco meal@ $10 add sour cream and nacho cheese and a $2 menu item for $18.90 is way more than I expected, but service was excellent, friendly and fast. Probably won’t be going back at those prices.
