Horrible service. Speakers weren't working in the drive-thru. Employee kept asking to repeat my order to the point where she had to come out of the resturant to ask me what i wanted. I was afraid who she was and almost felt attacked until i saw her headset. She had an attitude and instead we left because i felt like she would spit on our food. We come here often to buy churros but that's the last time we're visiting.
