Epic Eatz came prepared to serve up delicious food for all our guests. Their service was outstanding and everyone loved the food. It would be hard not to find something appetizing on their menu with so many iconic Mexicali options.

Overall, we had a good experience! The owner was very kind and communicative. However, there was an issue which caused the waffles to run out halfway through the event, which seemed a bit disappointing to some employees.
