When ordering, the description of the Chicken sandwich meal said it included fries and a drink. However when I went to pick up my order they stated it did not come with a drink. I received a text message that my order was ready, however I waited 10 minutes for my order when I arrived, then when I received it did not come with fries so I had to wait again and it did not come with bbq sauce when they said it was on the bottom.

Fries are amazing. Hubs downed the pepper burger. Daughter liked the chix fingers. Not a huge fan of the styrofoam.

The Side Chick sliders were AMAZING. Extremely fresh, juicy, and a punch of southern/cajun flavor. The medium spice level is a TRUE medium and executed perfectly!

Cocos Latin Cuisine was amazing. Probably one of the best Cuban sandwiches ever--generous portions of meat. Great garlic aioli with yuca fries. Empanadas?! Delicious!!
