    I shouldn't have to tell you to try the churros & hot chocolate. But for some added decadence, use a churro to scoop up the Negra Modelo Chocolate ice cream. YUM

    Not impressed. The people are in a hurry and they don't give a shit about you. They just want to get you in and out. The food was mediocre, and the chips and salsa were chipotle quality.
