Will definitely be back.(L) Spiral pasta w/ white cheese sauce & shrimp.(R - white bowl) GF pasta w/ white cheese sauce & plain chicken.Normally, the toppings are added to it, but we ended up getting them on the side this time.( My son was happy with the amount of cheese sauce, but I like a little more, so next time, I will add an extra side of cheese sauce for mine) Thank you Carmen for your help!

Thank you for stopping by and for the glowing review! We can’t wait to serve you again.
Every time i order from here I’m never disappointed.I usually get the owners favorite but I decided to make my own.My boyfriend hasn’t been fully satisfied by it though.Trial and error I think he’s not a fan of the spicy cheese which is unlike him.Next time we will try something different for him.It’s cheap enough we don’t mind eating here even if he hasn’t found his favorite mac yet.Plus we love supporting diet inclusive restaurants even if we have no dietary needs. I also like how they put the toppings on the side so you can choose your portions.Not sure if thats only with delivery or for the dine in too. We’ve been ordering it delivered but I want to go inside next time and see how it is there.

Thank you so much for ordering from us, we’re so glad you liked it.We’re confident your boyfriend will find his favorite pairing.Just a heads up, we do not separate the toppings through the drive thru, just delivery.But you are more than welcome to ask for it when you come through the window.
For starters, this location's drive thru isn't obvious.Their singage for the drive-thru needs to be made more obvious.I went through the Mexican food drive thru by accident, and they were confused because they barely spoke any English.I drove back around to see text on the front door saying to use the drive thru, but it doesn't mention the drive thru is on the side of the building.Fix your signage. The food is meh at best.Toppings are just tossed on top and not mixed or cooked together.There's barely enough cheese sauce.The meat isn't seasoned.This is something a teenager can make in about 10 minutes.This is pretty bad, and I won't be coming here again. The pasta was not fully cooked.It was chewy. I had green chilies added.There weren't a lot added.After mixing the ingredients together, MYSELF, I barely even tasted or knew that there were green chilis. I would say the only positives were that the service was quick and the person that handled my order was nice and pleasant.The serving size was decent as well. Flavor the meat.Give more cheese sauce.Fix your signage. You barely deserve the 2 star rating. I know what you're thinking: "This is a fast food place, so what were you expecting?" You may be right.At the same time, I also expected the food to be mixed and cooked together.I shouldn't have to do anything but buy the food and eat it.Otherwise, I might as well have just made this myself. My counterargument would be to look at Fazoli's.Their food quality rivals that of most sit down Italian food restaurants.So, in my opinion, this place has no excuse for the low quality of food I experienced here.

We appreciate the feedback as we strive to provide the best service possible. All of our meat is seasoned, however, everyone has different preferences and we’ve had people tell us it’s too seasoned.That is why we include seasoning packets in the utensils. We are not allowed to put up more signage per the city of mesa for our drive thru.We apologize for the inconvenience. As for not mixing the toppings, we’ve had people complained when it was mixed because they couldn’t see all the toppings included. The toppings are 2oz servings for the green chilies. Everyone has a different preference but we appreciate you coming by to try us out!!
