It does not get any better than this!! I ordered delivery and it came very hot even though I live 10min away. I got the ACC steak fajitas with extra pineapple and it is a 12/10.

Stopped by for quick bite as we drove through town, and had a delicious dinner! Our server was great- followed his arroz con pollo recommendation, and enjoyed both the fajita and chicken/pineapple versions of "ACP"!
