- For table service a tip of 15–20% is customary; at counter-service places tipping is optional.

The food is ok but the chicken is dry and could be better in my opinion BJS chicken is way better and you can get it for $5. Shame. The pico de gallo is my favorite. I once ordered Bandeja Paisa and a lot of stuff was missing like the egg, the minced meat…. I was disappointed! The owner Jo is disrespectful! He was screaming in my face saying how my job isn’t a job and that a job is his job. I was shocked and humiliated as a customer. He should have more respect especially for his paying customers. I will never put my feet in that place ever again. Any way don’t waste your money on this place!!!
