Located in the food court on the lower ground floor this is a very popular Taco restaurant. The food quality is decent and fairly generous in size. At lunch time there is a deal for a set with a drink and tortillas. There’s plenty of seating to enjoy your food but it does feel a bit crowded due to having no proper queuing system. The negative experience for me was the getting to check out. Even I paid for the lunchtime meal the clerk didn’t offer me my drink and I even had to ask for the tortillas. On top of that the wrap was just dumped in the counter.. it couldn’t have been that hard just to put it on a tray with a drink and the tortillas I paid for?
