"Food is usually quite good, but sometimes it's quite awful. I've found that at a lot of Mexican places; you get the same dish each time, and 1 out of every 10 times it's really bad. The main reason for the 2 star review is the way they treat call inorders. If you call them, you're not even a 2nd class citizen, you're a nobody. They let the phone ring for minutes at a timeand sometimes never pick up. When they do pick up, they put you on hold and then forget about you, literally. That is not anexaggeration. Whenever I call, I'm put on hold and forgotten about. Usually I can last about 5 minutes before giving up. Onetime I tested to see how long it would last. I was on hold for 8 minutes before the line went dead. I called back, and asked ifthey forgot someone was on the line. They admitted they did. This would of course be excusable if it didn't happen every time.It would also be excusable if there were a long line of customers in store waiting to be served, but that's not the case: theynever put you on mute so you know whether they're helping people or not. The time I was on hold for 8 minutes, after the onecustomer that I was put on hold for, there were no other customers the entire hold time. This has been the case most other timesas well. So, managers: get your staff together and train employees how to handle the phone line. I worked in food service forover a decade, so it's not like I don't have empathy, but if you want business then you need to take orders. And you can't takemy order, or anyone other callers' because the phone line is hung, when you leave me on hold and forget about me."

"Good for a quick salad, but would not be my salad of choice. The topping to salad mix was light on toppings, heavy on salad, so it felt a bit overpriced as a whole. Atmosphere: Line can be long during prime lunch hours, especially within Union station, but the max wait time I've had has probably been 15 minutes they generally move fast! Food: The salad quantity was filled to the brim of the container (which was great), but I felt like the predominant mix was just the salad base, which was spinach and romaine mix for me. I was hoping for a bit more protein/toppings added; when I was eating the salad, I felt like I was just eating the greens for 75% of the time. This is healthier, I suppose? But I wished there was a bit more flavoring AKA toppings in the mix. One caveat: Because they are moving really fast, some of the toppings are accidentally mixed into other topping containers as the employees move down the salad line. For example, there was a single crouton mixed in with one of the toppings I got, and I bit into that without paying attention I had been trying to go lower carb, so that was a bit of an unfortunate surprise for me. Just be the lookout for unintentional toppings, in case you're trying to avoid specific ones! Overall: 3/5 Decent salad, but not my go to salad place; seems a bit pricey for a lot of romaine and spinach, pretty much."
