Serious food poisoning:

Ate here yesterday, April 12th at about 7:20 pm with my girlfriend and 2 of our friends, all but one of us ordered food. I had a beef and a pork Taco, my girlfriend had just one pork Taco and our other friend also had just one beef taco.

They were pretty busy when we got there so I expected the food to be a bit rushed and thrown together, and better bet it definitely was. So bad, that no toppings were drained creating a pool of topping juice and the tortillas so undercooked that it was almost liquefied and impossible to eat normally. Everything on the Taco was also lukewarm, including the meats.

All was fine for the first hour, and then the unimaginable. I will spare most of the details, but I can honestly say that I have never thrown up so violently in my life, around my eyes look like I've been beaten up. I am thankful that I got hit with it the worst , not to say the other two didn't go through hell too, I'm just so glad they didn't get it any worse.

As I had said at the beginning, one of my friend's did not order or eat anything from here, and he was the only one who didn't even get as much as a stomach ache.

My girlfriend and I have been here before and loved it, so we were excited to come back and let our friends check it out too, but I know that was a huge mistake that's going to cost me a day of work and a very thorough interior car...

I really wanted to be impressed with this place but was very turned off by the workers and other customers. Upon entering, at least 6 people were not wearing masks, when in fact they are mandatory to be worn in this town. We had asked for a beef taco, the girl serving us told us she was told she had to warn customers that the beef was spicy. We ordered our food as more groups came in and did not social distance, were not wearing shoes nor shirts. Upon check out I asked the girl if they were not requiring masks in their restaurant. She told me that because they are on the beach they were not required. I told her she wasn’t on a beach and she was working in a restaurant in the middle of the town. She called her manager over and she told me that her boss told her that if people don’t wear masks, then let them because she doesn’t want to get them mad. I’m so glad she warned us about the spicy meat, but didn’t feel the need to Tell people masks are mandatory. No signs either. Then they messed up our order. But I digress, super annoyed and disappointed that an establishment on AMI is operating this way. I wonder what other laws they are not enforcing other regulations they refuse to follow. And then look at my family as the “trouble makers”. You’ve lost our business and I will...
