Stacey, it’s hard to read this and not feel just awful. I can’t apologize enough for the way you were treated. No one should ever feel unwelcome in our space, and we pride ourselves on friendly service, so something must have gone wrong. I’ll talk to our team to see what happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again. I’d love to make it up to you if you’re willing to give us another chance.

Nishant, I'm so sorry to hear this! If our restaurant, the Coastal Cantina, served pizzas, I’m sure they would be awesome. Please come by and visit our restaurant that serves Mexican favorites that are made with corizon!
