Prepare to stand in line to order. Stood over 20 mins! Then, over 20 mins to get food to table. Returning? Unsure. Prefer to SIT & order. Generous portion. Average tasting meal/Mole Enchilada combo .

The food was fantastic but I paid a very high price for it: the worst food poisoning of my life! Me and my entire group. Tourists, beware of e coli bacteria present in food.
