Ate here with 2 friends on the last day of our USA trip in early May. I must say that this place is beyond our expectations!

This place is amazing, try the pound of shrimp with corn on the cob inside (and/or sausage if you want) SHABANG style, which means a variety of the flavors for sauce. Also, you can pick the level of spicey-ness and get a side order of rice, or unique french fries (even sweet potato fries). It is a very unique and... More

This is definitely my favorite place to eat. The long can be super annoyingly wait but it's definitely worth it. I always make sure I drop by at least once whenever I'm in the State of California. Here's a tip if you don't want to wait too long: Order togo, your order will be ready in approximately 15 minutes and... More
