“The food here was amazing.. They prepared my food fast but the only problem I had is when I came in with my Service dog, which had Service dog jacket on was told that I had to leave. I told him she was a service dog and he said he didn’t care and I told him that he might have the ADA down here if he doesn’t let me order some food and go then he let me come in and get my food. My dog was properly marked with a jacket service dog maybe they need to be educated about Service dog in the ADA.“

“Whole Foods Market continues to stand out as one of the best grocery experiences for those who value quality, freshness, and variety. The store is beautifully organized, with bright lighting and a clean, inviting layout that makes shopping pleasant rather than stressful. The produce section is a highlight — everything looks fresh, well-stocked, and clearly labeled with sourcing details. The store’s commitment to organic and sustainably produced foods is evident in every aisle.“

“Tenía antojos de quesadillas y me fuí para Estela Tacos, ahí siempre te atienden bien y la comida es sabrosa.“

“Ordered 4 chicken tacos & 4 steak tacos...I will say not enough sauce to even put on your tacos...very dry with the sauce provided. I got the green and red sauce (2 each provided) for 8 tacos; oh, and a steak burrito w/o beans. Was not very satisfying for the money spent. Please ask for a LOT of sauce if you get this order...I mean a lot.“

“They have the best margaritas and food. Queso has flavor and is not watery. Salsa has spice and deep flavor. I ordered the Chicken Santa Fe Burrito. It's smothered in queso and filled with chicken, peppers and onions. This dish also has rice and beans. Delicious. Also they have the best margaritas and selections of margaritas. I drank the Blackberry Margarita. It had a rich blackberry flavor“

“Best tacos hands down. Tacos are always packed with lots of meat and served w/ grilled nopales (cactus) and cebollita taquera(green onion). They give you green and red salsa bottles to take to your table to enjoy throughout your meal. For drinks they offer Jarritos or agua frescas. Aside from tacos they also have quesadillas, pambazos, burritos, etc.“

“The service was great! Def recommend America!! She is friendly and sweet. The food came out fast and was very good.“

“muy rica la comida 😋 👌 buen servicio se come muy rico carnitas menudo tortillas echas a mano“

“If you ever need a place you want to eat at or just go for a good drink then Casa Fiesta is your place the service is excellent the drinks are excellent and the food is to die for!.“

“My friends, our kids and I came in on a Friday night after a basketball game. Everybody was tired, hungry and ready to grub! There were 9 of us. We got there around 9:00. A few other customers were there but not many. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. (You know how it is when it’s the end of the night and you show up when employees are ready to go home. they could’ve easily had an attitude, but they didn’t… at least no one rolled their eyes in our faces lol)
Anywho, we ordered and our food was ready in what seemed like 5 minutes. No joke! I ordered the vegetarian burrito plate with no cheese — cause I don’t eat animals (No judgement lol) It was delicious! My friends ordered a shrimp plate and steak plates. I ain’t even gonna lie, that sizzlin flesh was looking tempting 😂😂😂
All in all, we had a great experience and hope you will too.“

“my wife and I always have great dates at Don pepe“

“Great food! Better service. The Fried Ice Cream was awesome!“

“Store #3105 is phenomenal!

Sodhi and her team are pleasant, attentive, and eager to satisfy. The restaurant is clean, fresh ingredients are easily available upon request, and the customer service is top notch.

My family is always excited to swing by when time and parking allows. One of our favorite lunch spots downtown.“
