I'm a regular for takeout when I'm too tired to cook, and while prices are typically average for this type of place, my last order felt unusually expensive. I discovered at home that a mandatory $3 tip was added to my bill without clear indication at checkout. Please check your receipts carefully before paying! I'll return, but with vigilance. If this happens again, it might affect my future patronage.

Food was very good for a late night spot. In fact I'm thinking about going there right now. Tacos de al pastor and arrachera plate we're very good. Beans, rice, salad, and onions were very good. Although I do have one complaint. They gave me tiny onions this time. But last time they give me nice big ones.
