Our server started off our night rushed & annoyed that we were there at 9pm an hour before they close & 45 minutes before last call. Everytime she came up to us she would mention how they close soon. Her attitude was rude & unwelcoming. When it was time to pay the bill I thought her service wasn't worthy of a tip. I did not tip her & neither did my friend. Mind you we were in & out in 30 mins & 15 mins before they closed. She was very ignorant when we didn't tip as if she was deserving of one insisting we must tip & she doesn't get paid hourly.

Our server was very ignorant. From the beginning of our time here it felt as if she was trying to rush us out, taking our menus, making us pay the bill while we're still eating. We did not tip because she wasn't providing us with good service. She then gets mad, raising her voice at us saying we need to tip. Servers shouldn't treat their customers like that tip or not.

Wow, I this place is a scam. This is disgraceful 20$ for 2 tacos that are genuinely half the size of my hand. Wouldn't recommend genuinely appalled & so ridiculously frustrated that this is 20$ while the food is decent NEVER COME HERE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR any REMOTE VALUE. Maximum cost for this tacos should be 12$. If you are hungry & looking to eat you are easily spending over 100$ here.
