Ordered the special (burrito) but asked for the cheese on the side. It came out with no sauce. No prob I asked for the sauce on the side and I was going to put it on myself. 15 minutes later they brought out a completely different meal. Smothered in cheese. I asked them to take the cheese off and put it on the side. The third time they brought out the same wrong meal with the sauce I had asked for originally and a salad. I just ate what I could. I’ve usually had good experiences here, but according to everyone else you never send anything back here.
