There were a lot of overly fatty pieces in the brisket. The good pieces had a great flavor, but we had to throw away more pieces than we would have expected.

We got orders wrong. We pre-ordered this morning. One of the Chipotle chicken taco ordered was an additional pork tacos order. Not what we ordered

The food was really good, but the item descriptions weren't complete (just one example - didn't expect jalapeños on the loaded fries), but otherwise tasty options! 👍
