It’s true just like the other reviews, their customer service was great! The tacos were average size and not a ton of meat but were still filling and tasty. The chips are mediocre but the spicy red sauce was awesome! The decor is colorful and very nice, lots of seating inside. The guacamole was very fresh and tasted great. I’d return!
