The food is always good, but I've had two different experiences the two times I ordered from them. We have a work program where we have to order thru Uber Eats, for delivery only, so this is my second time having them and I have not been to the store yet.
The first time, I was craving ropa vieja, so I ordered the "Beef Stewed, from the "a La Carte" section, with a description that says, "served in separate containers" for $15. It came with rice and beans, which surprised me, because it said "a la carte," but made sense that it would be a complete platter, considering the price and the note about it being served in separate containers. I also ordered a salad and a tres leches cake. The was perrrrrfect. The meat was so tender and so flavorful. The rice and beans were perfect. The salad was just a large container of lettuce with tomatoes on top. Nothing else, not even dressing, so I made a mental note not to buy that the next time. The cake was ok. But it was still a 5 star meal bc it was una bandera (a complete lunch plate) and it was delicious.
Today, I ordered the grilled chicken breast, from the same "a La Carte" section of the menu for $17. And I decided to add a side of "vegetables" instead of ordering a salad this time. I had my heart set on that rice and beans. When my lunch arrived, the bag was soaked thru from the chicken being packaged poorly, and the only thing in the bag was a container with two chicken breasts, a container of lettuce and tomatoes, and a side of dressing. Devastating, but, i don't know if it was a mistake or not, bc the section IS called "a la carte." The chicken is SO good, tho.
I just don't know what to make of it. Which is the standard? WITH the rice and beans, or without? I would eat this every day if it came with the rice and beans.
