Sunday morning & I was looking for a new place to try out and this place seemed to have a few cars out front so we gave it a try. They have 9 tables.5 were open, there were 3 people at the register, and there was one girl tending to the floor. We stood at the door while she cleaned 2 tables she never looked at us or gave any direction although she walked by us and through us twice. We decided to grab a bread from the panadería on our own and take a table. We waited another 10 minutes before someone else walked in, they too took a table, got their own drinks out of a cooler, chose a bread from the panadería, then she came to take their order. By then we were done with our bread, still no drinks. As she walked away I asked her if she could take our order. Ordered breakfast, my son ordered his food and a can coke. She brought him a large glass bottle Mexican coke. A family of 8 walked in & took a seat. She tended to them, they got bread, tamales, and drinks before I got my coffee now 35 minutes into our visit. 48 min from our arrival we got our food. I got one more taco than I ordered, and they forgot my sons food. They fixed the issue fairly quickly and we aye in silence. Halfway into his second taco my son said: “The service is bad but the food is good!”. I agree 100%. Would have given one star if the food had not saved them. Saved my the cook! When the table of 8 got their food, the owner had to come out to talk to them because their food order was messed up severely. Turns out they have a used car lot running out of the same location and the reason for all the cars.
