"Saw lots of high reviews, so I gave it a shot. Very average food. Not bad, but underwhelmed.Basic enchiladas and tacos. Taco meat had no distinctive taste, basically no seasoning to it. Tasted like hamburger meat with salt and pepper. Enchiladas ends were hard and dry, the sauce on top was minimal, had to ask for more.Rice had several large clumps. When I arrived there were only three occupied tables so not busy until I left.Mexican food in Southern states is so much better. You can taste richness and the cultural spices, not hot, just more flavor that you can taste and even smell as food arrives at table. I've eaten at 7 different Mexican restaurants in the area and that seems to be a pattern. Again, not bad, just so so tasteParking: In a strip mall so ample parking available"

"It 's my 'go to ' hyvee! I go here for groceries, pharmacy, coffee, and/or a meal! I have recently been going through some health challenges so I 've been utilizing the drive up option to get my groceries. I have never had a bad experience with it yet! The employees are happy, friendly, and kind and do a stellar job at loading the groceries in the back of my car so that nothing gets squished or broken. All of the employees are also so kind to my kids! I have 7 year olds so we already know they 're big talkers, but the employees always talk and joke with them. It truly makes their day/night! The food selections are usually pretty good and surprisingly stocked given all the supply issues covid brought about. They have super friendly employees who are ready and willing to help anyone. Good people. Good atmosphere!"

"I have higher expectations for the price I paid. The only reason I keep coming back to this restaurant is because it's my daughter's favorite. The meatballs are decent, but the red sauce lacks flavor and needs a generous amount of parmesan to enhance it, even though the parmesan gives the food an odd starchy taste. The service is consistently unreliable and often appears disinterested or annoyed. The atmosphere, like the food, is unremarkable, although there is plenty of seating which is a plus. The breadsticks, usually soft and slightly greasy, were dry and crunchy on both ends, indicating they were either old or overcooked. I would not recommend this restaurant as a dining option. The only reason to come here is if you are in a situation like mine, where someone you care about inexplicably enjoys the food."

"I ordered the 3 pieces of chicken strips. I got the 8 pieces nuggets. it seems chick filet makes this meal it is especially diet, between the small size of nuggets and the less than full container of soggy fries a person stands an excellent chance to lose weight."
