Took forever for our food o be ready, also gave us the wrong meals, but didn't bother taking it back because they were rude about it and it would take another half an hour to get.

Nice healthy food, good tasting, reasonable. Unlike ShopHouse, run by the same company, Mexican food works as a mishmash in a bowl. A tasty mishmash in this case! - Michelle Klein-Hass
