I asked her the price per pound of carnitas and she told me to look behind her because it was posted (eye roll). Oh and just before it was my turn she was giving attitude to the lady before me about not being specific on whether an order was to go or not. Good customer is important and will I return? No. Although, I'll admit the food was good, I mean not the best but good. Oh, and those curious, the price is $16.99 a pound so that you are prepared when you go and don't...

Service and food was great. The only thing I didn't like was that they charged a dollar for cilantro and onion which is topically free when you buy carnitas by the pound. The condiments and salsas are free when u buy carnitas in other places...I didn't ask for limons but I'm sure they would of charged for that as well. Other than that thwir food was delicious and you coukd tell...
