You get a lot for your money, but you also get a lot of rice from the store for $5. And that's basically what the meals are here.
I got a spicy shrimp dish and found very few, tiny shrimp. It was not spicy at all. My girlfriend got a chicken dish, which wasn't any better.
This was in my poor apartment-dwelling days, when I rarely threw out much of anything - but I ended up throwing it out. There was a lot, but it was all bland rice.
It will fill you up for cheap, but so will Niro's or Cocina Real next door, and they have flavor.
