We received excellent service as we arrived and ordered our food and drinks. CJ was wonderful and patient as he explained the variety of menu and drink options. The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. The sticky ribs had an amazing flavor and were not too spicy for us. The guacamole was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. We are so glad we chose Hermanitos for lunch!
