“I will never go any place else for BBQ in the west Valley! AMAZING!!!”

“I recently dined at Trapper’s Avondale and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional – the staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure everything was just right throughout the meal. The atmosphere was spotless and inviting, with a clean, modern aesthetic that created a relaxing dining environment. As for the sushi, it was absolutely delicious! Every piece was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor.”

“I love Mexican food. This was some of the best I've had. Absolutely delicious! If I lived near this restaurant it would definitely be my go to.”

“The best we've been to in 4 years of coming to Arizona”

“I was really happy with my time at the pasta factory. Daniella was an excellent waitress, real sweet and attentive. The food was fantastic we ordered the Penne Arrabbita with Sausage which was delicious and nicely spicy. As well as the Florentine which had a complex combination of subtle flavors that overall led to a very tasty meal. The bread and dip they provided before the meal was fantastic very fresh and combined well.. The restruant itself has a solid Italian vibe that you wouldn't find at a place like Olive Garden. I will definitely be visiting again!”

“Bulk shopping saves me money each month”

“🙂Excellent Door Dash option for our little upstate NY town!”

“Delicious buffet, large slices of salmon, tender beef, about 20 per person, very cost-effective, but there are many people, so you have to come early to queue up”

“Late lunch/early dinner, less than 10 other parties in the restaurant. Mary was our server and was very attentive to our needs, refilling our drinks, etc. Love the zucchini appetizer.”

“Special thanks to Jackie the bartender, the Hibiscus Paloma 🍹 were refreshing and just what i needed with my tacos!”

“Wish the sashimi was a little thicker cuts, but great flavor and service!! Nice little open spot for some good food and good views!!”

“I don’t think I’ve had ramen this delicious even pre-vegetarianism and the tacos were simply excellent. Great deal ($12 for 5 tacos) and rly good portions too when I was there. Don’t miss this place if you’re anywhere in the vicinity of the Phoenix area”

“Soooo goood”

“I've been here twice so far! I've enjoyed both experiences. The atmosphere is really homey and calm. The baristas are super helpful when deciding what to order to drink. I was recommended the Bolla Sausage with green chile. Between the coffee and baked goods. The quality of the bread, fresh produce, and coffee drinks is phenomenal. I wish I started coming here sooner. This is another local staple shop for me. Hopefully, in the future, they can extend the hours. either way, Love it! Keep doing what you're doing here :)”

“Food tastes superb! Our first time to try this cambodian/asian restaurant and we highly recommend it! Will be coming back for sure!”

“What an amazing place! The coffee is out of this world and they have lots of delicious options for food as well. Try one of their breakfast bagels, thank me later. Such a fun and friendly atmosphere, my favorite coffee shop! If you haven't tried Modern Grind yet, you're missing out”

“Zamora's is always a treat! We live ~25 minutes away and drive out of the way just to come here!!! This is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants!!!! They have everything we could want!”

“Deliciosas y con atención de primera.”

“Fantastic Soups and Sandwiches Beat around!”

“I don't usually write reviews, but I had to share our experience at this establishment. My husband and I wanted to try something new and decided to order wings to go. They did not disappoint! The wings were flavorful and cooked perfectly. We didn't stay to dine in, but the owner was friendly and the atmosphere had a cute vibe that made us feel welcome. We're definitely planning to return to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!”

“I bought 2 Carnes Asada tortas,agua de mango,and a coconut pineapple smoothie. Overall the food was great the only feed back I have is the smoothie was bad it tasted bitter it wasn’t drinkable on the other hand the agua de mango was delicious.”

“My wife had just flown in last night, and this amazing spot was open! I’d seen their page before on Yelp (my go to for honest reviews of businesses). I called ahead just to make sure they really were open, and they assured me they were, and they’d have room for us. We found the spot easily, there was plenty of parking. We walked into a restaurant that was fully decorated with New Years Eve decorations and had a DJ playing amazing music. We were surprised this place wasn’t standing room only, especially on a night like this. I recognized the owner right away from reading the reviews, and she was who came out to take our order after describing some of the items. The rest of the staff who helped were great and very attentive to all the customers. This is the night and day difference between actual family owned and operated businesses, and the chain restaurants. The owner came back to check on us (she had tried to warn me how spicy the Dragon Burger was, but I really wanted something spicy! My wife saved me by taking off some of the ultra-spicy hot sauce (ghost peppers!🤣), and the other staff who kept resupplying us with water. The owner recommended the Ube cheesecake, and it was amazing, and helped calm down the fire! My wife ordered the fried catfish, and it was light and battered and served with an amazing dipping sauce. The owner brought out her husband just before the New Years Eve countdown, and he very nice - I would describe him as one of those rare gentle giants, who has the ability to make everyone feel instantly comfortable around him. Then the countdown happened and everyone who was present went around shaking hands, hugging, and wishing one another a Happy New Years. An amazing restaurant, with delicious food, and a very professional staff. Please support this family owned and operated local business!🇺🇸🇵🇭🙏🏼💯”

“The omelette was amazing!!”

“An excellent place for nerds. A nice breakaway from the clichéd sports bar scene. Bartenders are awesome. Come and play a game and geek out with others.”

“By far The best Asian cuisine”

“Wanted to try a new Mediterranean place since my last one really disappointed me. First they greet you upon arrival. This place is extremely clean and modern. I ordered the spicy gyro and the hummus. I can’t even put into words how delicious this food was. The spices and texture of the bread was amazing. The hummus and oil provided was outstanding. The server (Gabriel) was very attentive to any recommendations and refills. The chef even came out to ask how my experience was. Where can you go these days when the chef asks how your experience was? Not too many. If you’re looking for awesome Mediterranean food this should be your place. I’ll definitely be returning!!!”

“Everything was superb. The best part they make it fresh nd the authentic indian taste.”

“Culver's never disappoints, and this visit was no exception! The food was as delicious as always - fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. But what really made our day was the thoughtful service from a young girl in glasses who noticed our need for a high chair and brought one over for our daughter without us even asking. It's these small acts of kindness that turn a good meal into a great experience. If you're looking for quality food served with a side of heartwarming service, Culver's is your spot!”

“Comida mexican 💯% Gourmet muy recomendado hermoso local, con servicio muy atento, amable y profesional 🤤 las enchiladas rojas uffff súper mega deliciosas 👌🏻 muchas gracias primo por tu linda atención Dios te siga bendiciendo grandemente 🙏🏼”

“The Carnitas are the best!!! The owner is very friendly and you can tell he loves what he does, gets very excited when I asked questions about how he started. I have two boys that are very picky eaters and they even enjoyed the carnitas. 100% recommend!”

“Yiyo’s is the best Mexican food around! We drive out of our way just to enjoy the food. 5 of 5 stars!”

“1 Brothers Pizza is our family's favorite pizza spot. We"ve been coming here since they first opened. Not only do they have the best pizza and wings but they are the friendliest people you will ever meet. We consider them family! So if you want AMAZING pizza and good food stop by and tell them JoAnn sent you! 😊”

“Food and service was on point, the gentleman help us was very helpful and polite. Pizza and garlic cheese bread was delicious. 😋😋😋”

“Walking distance from my house, been at the other location before they expand to this one. I love this location and I can’t wait to see how they’ll take the load when it comes to football or when NASCAR comes in town”

“Had the Gumbo with jambalaya and it was so full of flavor. Sweet tea was very good. The jambalaya was just the right amount of spicy that I like. Music was so good that danced in my seat while waiting for our food lol. Overall I would definitely come here again. Also the beignets were so good.”

“Absolutely love this place! My wife introduced me to it and has become our go to restaurant! Delicious food, fast service, and the bill total for the amount of food you get you can’t beat. Favorite Chinese cuisine by far! The egg drop soup (try it with the chili oil) and spring rolls are to die for.”

“When the weather starts to get cooler, you know what time it is? It's champurrado time!”

“The food is good. But forgot the potatoes in my breakfast burrito. Bummer..

Carna asada fries.. horrible.. long pieces of steak and soggy fries. Highly disappointed.... I couldn't even eat them after a few bites.”

“This was our second visit to this location first visit was amazing service was a little slow today, I had very burnt bacon in my million dollar hash. I don’t recommend that dish, the coffee was very bitter not sure if it was old or just over measured when brewed I used about 6-7 creamers and ice to get the taste ok 😆 Better luck next time…”

“Great food! Recommended!!”

“I love this panadería their bread is delish. I had my daughter quinceñera and we gave bread instead of cake . My daughter had a big ass concha as her personal cake the same color as her dress. I just gotta say flavor is great - texture . Service is always very pleasant and friendly. All my family love their pan .”

“The best carnitas I’ve ever tasted hands down ! Great service and the meat was juicy and tender. I definitely recommend this place you won’t be disappointed!”

“This is our new favorite! Excellent quality, fresh ingredients, simple yet wonderful menu, a wonderful kid’s menu, accommodates food restrictions, service is fast and friendly. A wonderful place to eat, chill, and enjoy some delicious poke bowls and sushi!”

“Their Pizzas are always good. I order a large pizza and a dessert cinnamon one. I placed a order online. They didn’t have my dessert pizza ready, so I had to wait for it to be made. But overall a good go to for family dinner.”

“It was good food and service, but my bill was $26 and change for a plate of chorizo and egg with beans, tortillas and a coffee...way too expensive! The plate was $18 and change. The coffee was $6 and change. With taxes and tip almost $30 for a single breakfast! That alone will keep me away. Sorry.”

“Las mejores crepas en USA”

“I’ve been to this cafe many times I am usually very happy with everything I order and the customer treatment is good nothing over the top but always friendly smiles and recommendations are made… tbh I’m kinda obsessed with the cucumber lemonade here everyone must try it!!! this morning however I walked up to the counter and the lady was having a bad day or something she literally rolled her eyes at me made me feel like I was aggravating her so when my son wanted something I rushed to order for him so he wouldn’t get the same treatment. He also likes the lemonade but really wanted something else but I was afraid to ask him since she was already annoyed with us. Not sure what I did aside from walk up to order. but I’ll give this place another shot hopefully it was just a bad day for her.”

“The food was awesome, delicious, fresh, bursting with flavor. The dining room was really clean and very well decorated/designed. The girl who took our order and brought our food out to us was great!”

“Muy buenas hamburguesas vegetarianas”

“We went over board at the Mexican bakery for my Nana 😁 A BIG SHOUT OUT TO Mi PANDAERIA for always having the best Pan!! They are my sisters neighbors and are always coming through for us on our big orders. They not only have the BEST PAN, BEST CAKES, BEST COOKIES and most importantly AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!! 💞They are located downtown Avondale💞”

“This place is amazing!! The food is phenomenal! We went back 2 days in a row! The family that runs the truck is very friendly. I will be back next week for more tacos. My only complaint is that they are not in Surprise everyday.”

“Best ice cream 100% recommend a mangoneada Also the banana flavor Yumyyyyy”

“Got the “Demi” (if you know you know!) SLOMW and it was soooooo good! Soda water, sf vanilla, sf raspberry, sf pineapple, sf coconut and coconut cream!! Staff very sweet and helpful!”

“This is a great little coffee shop, love that it is locally owned and operated by a lovely family. The coffee is delicious and a nice change from Starbucks and Dutch Bros. Highly recommend!”

“Thisbplace has been here a long time. I always liked their food, and they have .50 tacos. I think its for their steamed tacos. I've only been disappointed like once or twice in my whole time eating and coming here. I put a 3star for the atmosphere because it does get pretty warm and sticky during the summer months but other than that there's a pretty good number of seats and it's pretty quiet. They people are very nice 👍”

“This is a Family owned mom and pop shop that serves the Avondale community with the best raspados in AZ! Natural in house recipes non of that artificial syrup!! they have flavors like Mazapan/ Chocolate Abuelita/Horchata/Pistachio/ and so many more!!!”

“Best Mexican in town!!!”

“I had the opportunity to try The Daily Mix and can I just say WOW! An awesome shake and a refresher drink. Fun, tasty, and healthy! It's a win!

“Sandwiches were addicting! Definitely coming back! So delicious 🤤”

“🥟🥩🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — WaBa Grill Avondale: Always Hittin’ Different! 💯

Yo, straight up—WaBa Grill in Avondale is my SPOT every single time! No cap. 🧢💥 Every trip, we always grab the steak bowl cuz that carne hits just right! Juicy, tender, perfectly grilled, all topped off with that bomb WaBa sauce—it’s sweet, savory, and straight addictive. 🍯🥩

But lowkey, the real star here? Them dumplings. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, packed with flavor, and when you dip ’em in their sauces, it’s next-level. 🌶️🔥 The regular WaBa sauce is mad good, but if you’re feelin’ bold, hit that spicy sauce—it slaps hard but in the best way possible. 🤤🌶️

Service here is quick, easy, and chill vibes every time. Staff always shows love, making you feel like fam from the moment you roll in. 🙌🏼✨ Clean spot, fast orders, and never disappoints—straight facts. 👏🏼

Hands down, WaBa Grill got the hookup for a chill hangout and bomb eats. Don’t sleep on this one, homies! Trust. 🔥🥟🥩

“Me and my family been eating here since the late 80s with my father. Now me and my wife and kids continue the family tradition some 38 years later. Everything still tastes good from the Super Burgers to the classic Fish and Chips…”

“Visited for the first time. Ordered a carne asada Machete, al pastor huarache and a tripa taco. The machete was pretty good, stuffed with asada and cheese, the huarache caught me off guard with the very dark colored tortilla (but the I remembered it was México City style food, not northern Mexican food, so no big deal), the tortilla itself didn't have any flavor, but the add ones like the spread beans and the al pastor gave it some flavor, it was ok. What I really loved was the taco, the tripa was crispy not burned or bland, just perfect and delicious. Double small taco size tortilla. Will give it another try, maybe something else in the menu.”

“Really good Sonoran style hot dogs. You have to try them! Order the Yaquis you won't regret it. Only down side is that is only take out. But there is plenty of parking.”

“Got some breakfast burritos to go. Great food and awesome portions!
It's a crammed place so be patient with the staff because it fills up quickly!
Would definitely recommend their menudo as well!”

“I have not tried any food but I have been to black rock a few times and tried different drinks. I have had coffee drinks, the energy drink and a tea. I don’t really treat myself to drinks often so I can’t really compare to competitors and I also like to switch it up once in a while. All I can say is that each drink I have tried has been good!

Customer service is always great and are great people! :)”

“It's a great place for listening to live music and dancing. Dance floor is a nice size and it's one of my favorite places to perform! 🪗🎼”

“This hotel is located in what appears to be hotel row. We arrive very late and just needed somewhere to stay and I’ve always liked the Hilton brand. The hotel did not disappoint. We had two very comfortable beds and a clean bathroom and were able to get back on the road in the morning. I wish I could’ve stayed longer to enjoy the breakfast but had to leave. I would stay again.”

“My dad would drink here every friday in the late 80s/early 90s. He Busted a guys face open at the bar about 91 for stealing tools from his El Camino in the parking lot. He took me in there a few times in the summer when I was real little, definitely a nice place to get away from the heat.”

“Not bad for super late night on a Sunday. The Al Pastor was good (I like it salty) and the salsa was good. Not the greatest area at night but id go back. There are alot of homeless hanging around but they were harmless.”

Weekday lunch at $13.99 is very affordable. Will definitely be returning. Oh and clean bathroom which is why it gets the fifth star.”

“A very nice El pollo loco restaurant. Great food and great service. However the soda machines were a problem. All the different flavors did not taste as they should have. Their machine needs to be completely fixed.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Pollo Loco in Avondale, Arizona, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped inside, the welcoming atmosphere and the tantalizing aroma of grilled chicken set the stage for a delightful culinary journey.

The menu at El Pollo Loco offers a wide variety of options, but their signature flame-grilled chicken stole the show. The chicken was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with a delicious smoky flavor that left me craving for more. The restaurant takes pride in their commitment to using fresh ingredients, and it was evident in every bite. The sides were equally impressive, with the rice and beans providing a hearty and flavorful accompaniment to the main dish.

What impressed me most was the impeccable service. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their food. They were happy to answer any questions I had and made sure my dining experience was exceptional. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and inviting environment to enjoy my meal.

The prices at El Pollo Loco are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and content.

Overall, El Pollo Loco in Avondale, Arizona, deserves a solid four-star rating. It offers a flavorful and satisfying dining experience with top-notch service, delectable grilled chicken, and a variety of tasty sides. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for a memorable and mouthwatering meal.”

“The overnight crew cannot cook or they half ass in there the best time to go is between 3pm-11pm other than that food is always good and fresh for the most part hortchata is on point..”

“We have visited this location multiple times, and food is always good. This particular visit we went for the Dubai strawberries 🍓 . I was disappointed that they did not fill our cups, especially for the price of $18. Was skeptical, but I must say ... they were delicious. Just wished they would have put a few more strawberries 🍓.”

“I highly recommend red dragon buffet Good quality. food, nice atmosphere, and our server Asia was fantastic, she. Checked on us often and Was very patient with my 3-year-old granddaughter.”
