Flavors were delicious. Ordering online was fast and easy and the food was ready quickly. The only note was that the chicken was very dry and not flavorful.

Kind and warm personality. Seemed like sandwich needed something like lettuce or vegetables and light seasoning. Very skinny sandwich but overall great. 4.5 is outstanding rating! Salad was superb.

What's the ingredients in the wacamole aioli? It's the small green sauce. I have certain food allergies.

Needed more sauce for tacos and maybe include a few chips/tortilla chips to both orders to make a more complete order for the price.
