Your food dining in is outstanding. Your food to go not so much! Stood there for 10 minutes before 1 of the girls acknowledged me & said it would be a couple minutes. This being said AFTER she told me on the phone it would be 5 minutes. It was @ least 20 minutes total waiting time. The food should have been HOT & was barely warm. Both of the girls were 'flirting' or maybe he is one of their boyfriends w/ a guy @ the bar who had something to drink & got food to go. Too busy talking to him to acknowledge me. HORRIBLE customer service on the to go order!!! Won't ever order again from there. As I said much better food & customer service when dining in. No excuses though.

I had the vegetarian burrito, #89. The flavor was excellent, and the vegetables were not overcooked! I thought that the price was a bit high for the amount of food received, but most people would be very satisfied with the quality and probably with the quantity as well. I was famished at the time...

Waterloo seems to suffer from a lack of excellent restaurants, and I have not found any 5 star restaurants in my visits yet. I have left several establishments without ordering anything, as it was obvious that there was no way to get a decent meal there. This restaurant is by far the best I've found in Waterloo so far, and all of the other patrons appeared to be enjoying their meals as well!
