I’ve been coming here since opening. Food is great. Sometimes our Togo’s are messed up, we bring them back and they get fixed no problem. It happens. We understand that. Tonight we place our order an hour before close because we didn’t wanna be last minute customers and keep the kitchen late. We waited 35 min, showed up to get our food and it wasent even started. Ok ya got busy no problem. We will wait because the food is good. The whole point of ordering ahead is for it to be ready but whatever. We live two blocks away off edwards road. When we got home our food looked absolutely terrible. And mind you the two blocks of 20mph tops will not do this to a burrito. My car would of have to rolled in an accident to get this effect. All of our items were squished in 2 bags making the tops of the items below open and juices to go everywhere. Refried beans smooshed all over.

He went behind the counter and then proceeded to call out take out orders that had been sitting there before I arrived. He even answered another call. Even the Grubhub guy behind me was getting annoyed. He then went back out to take an order for a table that was there before I got there. I get that they were there before me but the guy still hadn't said anything to me. I said the hell with it at this point.... I get they were short handed and busy but it was the total lack of courtesy to acknowledge my existence. I decided to call in an order to la Torta and had a ridiculously great sandwich that was ridiculously big. I recommend la...
