  • Valor7: Yes and no. We talked details and options until we were blue in the face but I never heardbring it over, it was always the time was not right for the issue to pass. Glad to see the time in now right and I for one shall vote yes on the ballot. I would urge all others to do the sameour county is busting at the seams crimewise and no matter how many bad guys we send off there always seems to someone to replace them. The Sheriff's Office needs the help.

It is worth the wait.. The prices are great.

The food is wonderful.

The service is good.

The speed of service is awesome! We have NEVER waited over 15 min. for our food there.

I like the place for all the same reasons, but I'd LOVE to go in there with an INS jacket and hat on one day.

Dated myself did I?  ;)


I'd still like to go in there with about six guys in 'ICE' outerwear and see how long it took to get food -

Would either be 5-minutes or not at all, 'cause the kitchen emptied of workers  ;)

Yummy Yummy food and only one fellow was a bit slow.  I like it and especially the pollo bandito. 

Bad experience?  Sorry.  I guess I have always been lucky.   Now for me Mi Suk's is the unlucky one.  It tastes great, just never sits quite right.  Other folk it never bothers.  I dunno why, must be and alergic gene er something.

Enjoy the good ones avoid your unlucky ones.

This is one of mine and my hubby's favorite. The food was always great and we love eating there. Weird though our kids don't like it that much, they said they didn't feel right after eating there and a friend of mine said her hubby got sick from it, too. Sometimes I really don't know what to think, I used to not feel all right after eating Greek in Germany until I figured out it wasn't really the food, I just couldn't handle some of their seasonings (even though I loved them). But reading of so many people getting sick does make you wonder...

I ate there last July and ordered the #1 lunch special.  I don't even want to tell you how sick I was because I'd have to move it to the "Over 18" discussion thread.  I got sicker than I got after contracting food poisoning in Honduras.  It only takes once for me.  I won't be going back.

It is awesome.  They know us so well now they bring us our drinks without us even ordering them.  Of course, we have ordered the same thing since they opened.  They pretty well know what we want...my husband has a special order and most of them know what that is now too.
My daugter says it is bad that we eat there so much they know our order...I think it is great!
