The service was slow. The tacos no go. Loud from a busy street corner. The "carne asada" was not what we expected. It was not bad, but nothing to rave about. The condiments were stacked away from one's table, and messy. Same spoon was being used for all the condiments. No separate salsa was offered. No one in our large party got ill, but we wouldn't go back again.
