14 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Alhambra

“Famous star tonight was "Bustin"“

“The food was wonderful and the service was ok, but I love it anyways and I recommend going here“

“The food is standard burger/ Mexican fare. The price for each item in 2025 is under $10 with certain exceptions in regards to meals and dinner plates. There is a small parking lot that is associated with Ernie's burgers and is free. The food is good for the price but if you expect good food I would recommend other locations.

I had the patty melt, tuna melt and chili fries with cheese:

The Patty Melt ($8 approx.) is decent but has the issue of using a bad cheese for patty melts and poor order. The cheese adhered to the bread as opposed to the patties which leads to hard bread and less flavorful patties. The choice of cheese was American cheese which doesn't work well for Patty Melts, had they chosen a Cheddar or Swiss cheese the overall melt would have been better. Aside from those issues the bread was toasted nicely and there was a small amount of onions (partly caramelized)

The Tuna Melt($7-8) was good for it's price, similar to the patty melt the bread was toasted nicely, the cheese was American Cheese and would have been better if they had chosen another type of cheese. The Tuna mix was a bit of a mess but decent. The pros were that it was light on mayo, resulting in a dryer tuna mix for those who prefer such things. The cons were the inconsistencies in flavor namely the random bites of acidity. If the acidity was more uniform and spread out so each bite had a nice little acidic bite it would be fine. However, as it was, there were random dry but good parts not overpowered by the cheese and random spots where all you could taste was what I assumed was vinegar.

Lastly the chili fries with cheese, this was a decent option but nothing standout, if you want chili cheese fries i'd advise you to seek other restaurants. The issues I had were the fries were crispy to and extent but served with chili that lack impact. As a sloppy mess to finish after your meal after the fries have soaked in chili it's fine. However, when eaten as it was served the fries were a bit too crispy and didn't absorb any of the chili's flavor even if it didn't have much to begin with.

All in all, if you want a quick cheap bite to eat, Ernie's burgers works great for a quick and cheap bite, but if you want flavor seek other establishments. Whilst Ernie's is not bad it certainly doesn't hold up to the other nearby establishments in terms of flavor.“

“Retro corner shop serving sandwiches, burgers, and other hot food.
----------
Wet Fries with Gravy
Grade: A-
I don't know what kind of stock they use for the gravy but the flavor is phenomenal. A little on the salty side but not too bad when you spread it out over the fries. The portion size is also massive
----------
Pastrami Dip
Grade: C-
The smokiness of the pastrami is good but it is really salty. I don't know if it's the pastrami itself or the au jus but the salt overpowers the rest of the flavor.“

“My wife and I checked out Min Min House in Alhambra, a real hole-in-the-wall spot with a no-frills vibe. There’s basically no service—you scan a QR code to order, and they bring the food when it’s ready. The dumplings were solid, definitely a highlight. The cucumber salad was fantastic, super fresh and authentic. Hot and sour soup, though? Not my thing—couldn’t get used to the flavor. The beef pie stole the show with its thin, crispy skin and juicy filling. Scallion pancake was just okay, nothing special. The xiao long bao was tasty with soft, flavorful skins. Overall, they’ve got some great dumplings worth trying. Parking’s either on the street or in the back lot.“

“The service was absolutely quick and the food was amazing“

“👍👍～～～～～～“

“My wife and I shared a beef burrito, and the Carne Asada salad. The dressing to the salad was really tasty, and the steak was better prepared than a steak I had any fancy restaurant last weekend. The burrito was just simple goodness … not too fancy or over done. This is a family owned business that supports the community. Support them … take the family to lunch or dinner You won’t be disappointed!“

“I must start this comment by saying that the staff are very friendly and serve in Spanish! It seems that they have a lot of requests from Uber and other apps because they are very busy, we had an argument between colleagues which is normal! But the girl who served us apologized and I really appreciate that detail that was not necessary, one understands the stress in the kitchen with so many orders. The food is very delicious and well prepared, very good service at this branch. Just as a comment, the soda area could be a little bigger.“

“ALWAY'S FRESH TASTY FOOD. AND IT'S ALWAY'S GREAT TO ENJOY AFTER A DAY OF SHOPPING AT KOHL'S .ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY AND HAVE YOURSELF SOME COUPONS. AND GOTTA WAIT FOR THE BUS TO GO BACK HOME.“

“I love Taco Bell. Ordered online for a drive thru pickup. Arrived, pulled into the DT lane, gave them my name, then had to wait behind another car for ~5 mins. No biggie at all. The window attendant was so chill - apologetic, super polite, and professional. Found a free package of cinnamon twists in order. Yay! I love love love Taco Bell!“

“Muy buen servicio y exquisito almuerzo“

“It’s the place to be ... 😍“

“Deliciously light crispy fried chicken, and big juicy fried chicken sandwiches. I'm not a fan of the spaghetti but my daughter loves it. Their pineapple drink is a must have.
Ate in and have also used drive thru. Service has been good as everyone is always polite. Inside of restaurant is very clean but I think a little too bright or generic. In spite of small lounge chair areas, I feel they could do with a cozier vibe.“
