My family and I have been eating here for years, its easily my favorite mexican restaurant. It's great tasting food at a good price. The employees are friendly and patient. The food is usually served pretty quickly and the portion sizes are good in my opinion.

They discriminate against Blacks and Hispanics. I am a high school teacher and I came here for a meeting with my NHS (National Honor Society) group to discuss events for the upcoming school year. One of my students arrived significantly earlier than the rest of the group. Rather than ordering, he waited on the rest of the group to arrive. Roughly 5 minutes after everyone arrived, an employee came to the table and said, "Are you going to order something. This is a business, you know." There are several ways this issue could have been handled. The employee could have asked the early student if he wanted to order anything, to which the student would have informed the employee that he was waiting on this rest of his party. The employee could have also asked the group if we had any questions, or they employee could have made recommendations. Instead, the employee insulted the group. We chose the coffee shop for a reason: it gave us a relatively quiet space to meet, and have coffee and/or lunch. I will not return to this location, and I have alerted my friends to the discrimination by Honor students and I faced so that they can make an informed decision as well.
