My order was mixed with meat (I'm strict vegetarian) and neither the restaurant not eat 24 refunded me for food I couldn't eat because it wasn't prepared properly.

It took 20 minutes longer than the latest time predicted. The cheese in the queso fundido hardened. The enchiladas were supposed to be beef but were chicken. I have been dying to try cafe tapatio for years actually and I'm so disappointed.
