Guajillo Beef and Cheese Enchiladas
Overall solid flavor and delivers as expected. Perhaps enchiladas delivered in a small package makes options limited, but I’d almost rather have two overstuffed compared to three smaller.

Pot Roast with Horseradish Sauce
The horseradish sauce was good, but I preferred the dish without it

Pork Al Pastor Tacos
Would prefer more of the protein rather than the tortillas. Good flavor and toppings.

I've ordered this yogurt more than once. I really enjoy the taste and that it includes peaches.

Herb-Roasted Flat Iron Steak
Very good flavors all around and the beef was tender with a good texture. The sweet potatoes were lacking some salt but after adding that, made for a tasty dish.
