I was there today 02/24/2026 around 4pm and the waiter with bleached tips and a name that started with a T on their waiter wrap thing took our order... it was very slow today and they were quite nice kept checking on us and was patient they also helped me find the thing I ate ij the past that I couldnt figure out it was something like the fajita quisidilla and it was really good I got mine with steak... my son really liked the rice XD and we all left happy and full ... im worried though because we were confused about hoe to leave a tip and didnt ahve cash we had a very long day and I feel bad because we left not knowing and I thought it was handled but im not the one who handled the bill ;-; I hope they know they were very appreciated and we tried to clean up our mess the best we could since we had a very messy toddler who is inexperienced with rice ... I hope to be back again soon and hopefully we understand the tipping system

I go to this restaurant everyday and the owner is super sweet he even remembers my order! (this is from the girl with blue and pink hair) it always brings a smile to my face seeing him take our orders.
