### 1/5 — No refunds or credits for failure.

*2026-05-15, version 5.3.2*

The restaurant’s mobile application functions at a basic level, but it has several major issues that make ordering inconvenient and confusing for both customers and staff.

One of the biggest problems is that the app does not include all of the menu items actually available at the restaurant. This limits ordering options and creates inconsistency between the in-store menu and the app experience.

The order management system also appears poorly designed. When placing an order, there is no reliable way for restaurant staff to estimate or communicate when the order will be completed. Employees can only see the time the order was submitted through the app, but there is no preparation tracking, completion estimate, or status update system available.

Another major issue occurs when customers arrive to pick up their food. The app does not provide a proper identification system for pickup orders. There are no assigned order numbers, customer names, or other identifying details that allow staff to determine who is picking up which order. As a result, employees cannot easily distinguish between app orders, online orders, or regular in-person orders, which creates confusion and delays during busy periods.

Overall, while the app technically works, it lacks several essential features expected from a modern restaurant ordering system. Improvements to menu accuracy, order tracking, estimated completion times, and customer identification for pickups would significantly improve the experience for both customers and restaurant staff.  Great food, excellent service from restaurant staff and management but the app developers clearly didn’t comprehend the process of retrieving said orders when customers pay.

### 1/5 — first impression

*2026-05-12, version 5.3.2*

First impression not a good one ordered @ 1:29 pm went and asked about order at 1:54 pm still not served . I will not be returning. Bad CS no stars given. Had to give a star in order to proceed.

### 1/5 — False advertisement

*2026-05-10, version 5.3.2*

You promote big tacos on your signs that’s the reason people decide to stop but it seems every time you add less food to the tacos, this is false advertisement how sad.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-03-02, version 5.1.1*

Did not let me add free pirata.

### 1/5 — They lie to get you signed up

*2026-02-15, version 5.1.1*

They said free pirata when you download the app. I placed a $50 order and they didnt give me the pirata. I signed up and it sent me a free cake for my bday and i placed that on my order and it didnt give it to me either.
