Went to Lares ordered nachos with carne asada To Go and I was charged $23 and so odd cents. According to the menu asada nachos are $17.95+10.75% tx. I ended up paying over $23, what a rip off. I'll never go back there again. Now I understand what my friend was talking about, he got overcharged as well for an order he placed. Mind you, he charged me an extra 20% tip for not being served at a table. RIP OFF!

Jesse the owner took no responsibility when I received the wrong the order. He told me oh that was the lunch crowd who took your order. Then said to bring it back when I told him I'm 60 miles away, I asked if he could put me on list so I can have a credit...He said no!!!!!!!!!!! He forgets what is keeping these restaurants ALIVE...LOCALS!!! People who live here & love your food. I will drive on my Sunday with the wrong order as he asked me but, I will never go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ordered tostadas just to get a bug salad with 1 small tostadas that got soggy. Didn’t even ask if something is wrong with a dish. Never ever coming back. Probably the worst Mexican food in my life.
