The service rendered by the waitress on 12-27-2015 was pessimistic and the Carne Asada was too dry and not prepared like it used to before the new management. When I brought it to the new manager's attention, she said I was the first complaint since she became the manager. She then went on to tell me that she made $5,000 on her first day as the manager two months earlier.
