| - I finally came and tried this place. I've been meaning to since it opened forever ago! There is definite room for improvement. If I could, I would give 3.5 stars. As it goes, I decided to round down.
I came with a friend and ordered a large Don Quixote. I told the lady that took my order and put the lettuce in the bowl that I would like no mango and the red pepper dressing. She said ok, put the bowl down, and started helping another person. The next lady took my bowl and asked if I wanted chicken or shrimp, so I said shrimp. Then she went to dish the rest of the toppings, and I narrowly got a word in before a scoop of mango was dumped. Obviously there is zero communication. The lady did offer a different topping to replace the mango, which I happily accepted.
When I went to pay I noticed that my salad was in the smaller container. The cashier asked if I wanted more lettuce to fill a large container and I declined. I guess the large is just extra lettuce with the same amount of toppings? Interesting. I decided to get a combo with pita and hummus for $2.50 extra to try it out. My total came to almost $17. I was so confused by this until I realized that the shrimp was actually extra. How annoying. This being my first time there, I just assumed you had a choice for the same price because she didn't say anything. I would not have paid extra for shrimp had I known.
As for the food, it was really good. The mad spice they put on the avocado was delicious and the red pepper dressing was surprisingly good. I really enjoyed the salad a lot, but I really did not enjoy the price. The garlic hummus was also good but the pita was very basic and cold. Overall, the hummus and pita was kind of meh for me.
All in all, if I want a delicious salad I'll go to Wildflower or Salad and Go for a significantly cheaper price. I may be back to try their bowls out, but even that is iffy.
