Broiler Express — Restaurant in San Carlos

My mom and I came here hungry but when we approached the counter the guy was a bit grumpy and didn't seem to care when we apologized for taking so long too long to tell him our order since it was our first time there.my mother and I decided to keep it safe and just order two items and share them.
