  ad, bad, bad experience.
  This past Monday I ordered food over the phone.
  My order was big. I paid around $85 dollars.
  I ordered a tray with chicken and ribs, rice and fries. A second tray with only meat instead of the rice and the ribs I asked to add more meat. I also ordered 12 (very expensive) empanadas and a house salad.
  I drove about 40 minutes to pick up my food from my house. I don't care about driving too far to get their food because I thought until Monday I was their dear customer.
  When I got home I opened the trays to double checked the order and to organized the food for my guests. Yes!!!! I had a party of 10 people.
  
  I was very upset when I saw one little tray with 5 little pieces of meat. Yes. They did not replaced the rice and the fries for more meat. They just simply took out the rice and the fries and they charged me around $18 dollars for this small tiny tray. I was extremely upset because I was not going to have enough food for my party. So, I decided to call the restaurant. Basically the manager did not care about the complaint. He did not even offered me to come and at least get my rice and fries.
  
  I am very disappointed. They over charge for their food. They are taking advantage of us customers.
  I will never come back to this place. I will report them to BBB.

  Cute little "hole in the wall" spot in the neighborhood. We sat in the back dining area (you have to walk all the way to the way and through a door).
  
  For apps, we had the chorizo. It was salty and a little spicy; good thing the pickled veggies came with it because it helped to drown out some of the fat too.
  
  For our dinners, we had the chicken and pork ribs. My husband loves the chicken. Seasoning is on point; meat is moist. The ribs were super fatty so for some parts I had to tediously pick out the meat. The ribs were a little tough, however, the flavor was good. Rice was surprisingly salty as well.
  
  Overall, decent. Can't say I loved it. I felt like everything I had besides the bread was heavily salted. The wait staff was a little young but friendly. One server in particular was very inexperienced and quite under-trained.
  
  I might come back, only because my husband likes it.
  
  FYI, they have a TINY parking lot so street parking is the way to go if you have a larger vehicle.

  This place used to be so good and family oriented. We always order the chicken and beef ribs combo, however lately, it seems like their beef and chicken quality has dropped a lot! Most of the times the ribs comes with a lot of fat (picture attached) and the chicken its dry at time, like it seems they had it cooked already and set aside for a while. French fries always gets saggy since they put it on top of the food. If food quality continues like this I'm probably going to switch to another bbq place nearby.

  This place used to be good. Twice I order food and get home and did not receive what I had ordered!! The first time I didn't bother to call we just ate whatever they gave us. The second time I called they apologized told me to come right away and they will give me the ribs. I drive all the way back and they Would not give me the ribs because I didn't bring the tray back. I told the lady you told me to come right away and didn't tell me to bring the tray. What were they going to do give the food to someone else? That's unsanitary! I drove back for nothing. They screwed up and I didn't even get an apology. Also the food was tasteless. I will buy them a huge sack of salt and pepper and send it to them so their good can taste better. So sad this place was good!! Never again!!!
