Many of them had not been and only a couple had heard of it. It's a family owned single location. We found it while camping at the Launch Point RV Park located nearby. I tried the birria and the brisket but the highlight for me is the Carne Asada. It's great in the tacos, burritos, and especially on their french fries. Something about the cut of meat that they use or the way that they prepare it is different from most places and really flavorful. They have a really good assortment of sauces and the staff was super friendly. We went here three times in three days because it was that good. I highly recommend you check it out and I hope you have as good experience as I do because I've been craving these ever since I left!

My initial impressions were…read morenot that great because I saw that the park public restrooms were inside the location and fenced in. The initial odor wasn't so pleasant. The men's bathroom did not have hand washing soap and it was very dark inside. I was prepared to give a very unfavorable rating. However. after receiving and tasting the food and drinks I was very surprised. The food was amazing and much authentic. The aguas frescas were definitely fresh and delicious! I observed patrons enjoying their taquito plate and burritos. I will definitely return to try another entree. They do only offer outside patio seating but I think it's part of the ambiance. The service was very friendly. I definitely could tell that they use fresh products. Again, some of the negatives was the occasional restroom odor and that they charge a service fee for paying via credit card. Don't confuse it with La Única restaurant downtown

We had an incredibly frustrating breakfast experience here. I'm generally understanding when a…read morerestaurant is busy or short-staffed, but there were so many mistakes and such poor communication that it became unacceptable. Our order was taken incorrectly, and when I pointed it out, I was told that I had never given the correct order--even though I had repeated it twice. My children's order was also wrong. When the food finally came, we still didn't have our drinks, and even the tortillas were incorrect. The breaking point was my child's drink. About 40 minutes after our food arrived, we still didn't have it. I went inside and told the employee I was happy to take the drink myself--I simply needed it so my child could eat. She said okay, yet I stood at the counter for another 15 minutes while she continued doing other things and then attempted to take another customer's order. At that point, yes, I became visibly frustrated and said I wasn't willing to continue waiting. Nearly an hour for a child's drink after multiple mistakes is unreasonable. Another customer then decided to involve herself, telling me to calm down and not be rude because the employees were "doing their best." She had no idea what had happened before that moment or how long we had already been waiting, and the interaction unfortunately escalated from there. I understand that people make mistakes and employees can become overwhelmed. My issue wasn't one mistake--it was the repeated mistakes, extremely long wait, lack of follow-through, and then being told I hadn't communicated something that I absolutely had. I hope management provides better training and support because this experience was unnecessarily chaotic and frustrating. We came in wanting to enjoy breakfast as a family, and instead spent most of it trying to get basic parts of our order corrected.

(She is a short, obese aging woman in her 50's or so) I came into the restaurant to purchase Happy Meal collectibles for my wife. While at the counter, I overheard Sandra instruct another employee not to sell the items to me, publicly labeling me a "reseller" in front of other staff and customers. I am not a reseller. I was literally buying two happy meals and have never been to this McDonald's in my life I am an autistic individual. Navigating everyday public and social interactions can already be uncomfortable and challenging for me. Going into a store to buy a toy shouldn't be an ordeal, but having to make that request, only to be openly insulted, falsely accused, and publicly humiliated by store leadership was extremely distressing. This behavior is completely unacceptable. As a result of how Sandra treated me, I am now hesitant to ever walk into another McDonald's location out of fear of being targeted and insulted simply for buying items for my family. I am requesting that this matter be escalated immediately to the Franchise Owner / Owner-Operator and the General Manager. Sandra's actions reflect poorly on your brand and demonstrate a severe lack of respect and basic customer service. I expect this incident to be investigated, appropriate disciplinary action to be taken, and a follow-up response regarding how this is being handled.

I tried both the rotisserie and fried chicken, along with the rice, fries, and tortillas. Unfortunately, the rotisserie chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The fried chicken had a bit more seasoning but was still quite dry. The rice was disappointing it wasn't cooked properly and tasted old. The fries were soggy, and the tortillas I received were cold and hard, which made them unappetizing. Overall, the meal didn't meet expectations. read more

Came in at…read more4:45 on a Thursday and there was a steady flow of people, got my order in quick and food in about 5 minutes, So not bad at all. Staff was friendly and I asked what she'd recommend for my first time trying it here, so I ended up with the two piece meal which comes with a little of everything. Two piece comes with a breast and with wing and thigh. These aren't Costco's mutant giant chickens, so the portion may seem small initially, but the flavor is great. The only drawback I'd say on the chicken is that it was a little dry, tender, but the texture of the meat said it had seen heat for a little too long. But not to worry because the salsa adds the missing moisture right back in. Also, thinking I'll try the whole chicken next time as I don't know when they chopped up the bird I ate, so it may have been drying out from that. I got the flour tortillas, they have corn available, and those were good, pretty standard. The potato salad is good, not greasy/oily, not 90% mayonnaise, good flavor. The rice was even better than the potato salad, and I'm not a huge fan of either and both were a good complement to the chicken. Rice was flavorful and had texture, enough stick to make it easy to eat, and evenly cooked. This place isn't glamorous, it's quaint and simple and doing it right. Coming back to see if it gets better with the whole chicken.

I got a hamburger and fries. Both were unremarkable. I found myself longing for the hamburger they sell next door. The ambiance at this Arby's? Sterile, large but clean. No one inside. Kinda sad. It's no doubt because the place next door is famous just for having great burgers. Today I had a pulled pork sandwich on a brioche bun and curly fries delivered. The bun was soggy. The sandwich itself is PICTURED with barbecue sauce but that must be ordered SEPARATELY for .50 a packet. I would say it needs 2. So, that's like going to that hamburger place, next door to this place, and paying extra for the mayo or catsup or whatever. Ridiculous.
