Ordered the lunch special Mexican rice chicken and black beans. It was alright, the best part was that it only cost $7 though.

I have been frequenting this small restaurant since I was nine years old. The service is exceptional, the staff is very welcoming, and the food services is great. The food is wonderful, and it is always my first thought for a late-night craving. It is a family-owned business, and it certainly has that feel. I would recommend it wholeheartedly🙏

A good Chinese food place with a standard menu as well as some Mexican food. I see that the meat products are usually of higher quality and the staff is nice. There delivery is quick and without error. The only issue I ever had was I ordered Lemon chicken but they gave me a breaded cutlet with lemon sauce on the side.

Gourmet? Not one bit. "Authentic" Chinese or Mexican? Probably not. Really inexpensive, clean, very respectable American Chinese and American Mexican take-out food? Absolutely. Some seating, but not a lot. A good value, we like it!

I happen to stop by here since I usually pick up food at another Chinese place up the block and they are closed now. I had chinese and not the Mexican menu. Had vegetable fried rice, chicken with garlic sauce, roast pork chow fun ,wonton soup, and chicken wings. We were all happy! Nothing was greasy or tasted reheated! Definitely will order from here again!

Not very good. Guacamole truly sucked. It tasted weird hardly any avocado in it. The so called salsa almost tasted as if it had sweet and sour. Either cook Chinese or Mexican you cannot do both.

Ordered a tofu & broccoli dish that was highly touted by a friend. The fact that it was not ready when I got there wasn't that much of a big deal, but the meal itself was quite lacking. The ingredients were literally DROWNING in sauce and tasted very greasy. On top of that, when asked on the phone as I placed my order whether I wanted white or brown rice I specified brown, which the woman taking the order repeated. When I got home and opened the rice container there was WHITE rice. I have been to busy take-outs in many places; MUCH busier than this one, so errors due to being rushed will not wash here. NOT likely to return!

Their steak is forever uncooked but the overall flavor is okay.. Additional: I appreciated that they gave me a new order but I can tell the difference between burnt & cooked. Idk if it was a sick joke but I honestly NEVER complain about my food until that day. No one should have to experience that.

Very nasty food - congratulations on serving some of the worst food I’ve ever eaten. Rotten lettuce on a rotten burger (see the picture) ewwwww

If I could rate this 0 stars, I would. The food tastes disgusting and is unsanitary. Their customer service is extremely terrible and the lady was being so rude to me and my wife. And to top that all off, there was a hair in my chicken wings. I told my friends about this and they said they always find hairs in their food from this place. Absolutely sickening that these people don’t take sanitation seriously at all. Stay away from this place! Never coming here again!

DO NOT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE! This was my first time ordering from this place I would give it no stars if I could! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! I ordered chicken tacos and I noticed a tiny bug cooked into the food. I threw up everything right after! I tried uploading pictures and it doesn't even allow it

The black beans included in most of the Mexican dishes are bland. The Guacamole in the nachos were also lacking flavor. It seems like most of the food that they have is canned food thrown together into one plate without added flavor or salt. And most importantly we called them for delivery and though the lady on the phone seemed nice, she overcharged us. We found out she overcharged us when we added up the prices on the menu and it come out to be $35 and she charged us $47. And suspiciously enough the receipt was not given to us when it was delivered. And BTW delivery was free, so it was not the delivery charge.

So, I just ordered a cheeseburger deluxe and a grilled chicken sandwich. I opened the chicken sandwich because it did NOT look anything like chicken. I called them back to tell them I received the wrong thing and that grilled chicken is supposed to be a white breast and not a brown and pink glob of fat. They said that I did not state I wanted white chicken. Um...that's literally what grilled chicken is. Anyway, they said we can bring the new sandwich but I have to pay for it and that they will take the old sandwich back. I asked why and they Honestly hand to God said "I have to pay again because I already bit into the sandwich THEY CANNOT RESELL IT"!!!! OMG They resell returned food!! Stay clear of this place!!! That is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard in my life!!!

I'm disappointed in the lack of meat in the pepper steak and onions. Great flavor but hardly any meat, the meat was very thin. They lost me as a customer.
