Did not have condiments out without asking (i.e. katchup, mustard, etc.). Same for any napkins. Also found the prices were a bit high for what you get relative to other places...the food was decent, however.

I requested extra sauce and cheese for my fries, both of which I was charged extra for, and upon getting home realized they never gave them to us.

It's ok, the food is good but the portion size is small but they give you lot of French fries.

The staff were not friendly, did not speak or make any suggestions. I needed to spend at least $10 but could not find anything I wanted. So I order to tamales, I thought they were home made,they were not good, and the cost was $1.70 too much for taste.
