“Service is a big deal and plays a huge role in deciding if the customer will return. Well, this place did an excellent job with that. I ordered 2 birria burritos, and not even 5 minutes later, I was biting on the delicious burritos. The prices are good for the huge portions. Also, a reminder, if you're not into spicy salsas, make sure to stay away, but there no need to worry their consome is delicious.“
“This Jack in the Box is SUBSTANTIALLY tastier than any other fast food chain I've visited, and this one in Lamont taste WAY better than every other Jack in the Box location I've been to. It actually feels like I get my money's worth since the total price for three people is around $35 on average, and I don't feel ripped off. Best fast food hands down, and even better with the app. Plus the workers there are great and will give you tons of sauce if you ask.I highly recommend the egg rolls and their cluck chicken sandwiches if you want something tasty.“
“Continuing my rural Lamont/Arvin series, Pop's Drive-In is a local burger joint that serves made-to-order burgers, salads, shakes, etc. Like the other reviewer mentioned, it's one of 6 burger joints you'll find lining up Main Street in Lamont, CA (3 local joints including Frosty King & Rootbeer King as well as the 3 big franchises-Jack's, McD's and most recently, Burger King). With a lot of choices to choose from, what sets Pop's apart is the fact that their food is really made-to-order. As a tip, you definitely want to call ahead if you work at GEI and only have 30 mins or an hour to spare for lunch. If you pull up to the drive thru, chances are you have at least 1-2 vehicles in front of you. Only reason why I'm going there today after religiously bringing my own lunch this week is that I forgot my lunch at home. I opted for a Grilled Chicken burger this time. Added avocado, onions and a side of their thousand island dressing and it was satisfaction. Not sure whether it was divine intervention or sheer will power, but I managed to order this meal without their perfectly seasoned fries or the strawberry lemonade. Either way, the burger was filling enough due to its massive size which is bigger than my handheld calculator. Pop's is also my go-to place for their Grilled Chicken Salad, which has the same grilled chicken breast that comes in the burger. Since healthier options in Lamont are rare with all the burger joints and Mexican restaurants, I found their salad provides a healthier option if you're looking for one. The salad usually comes with chopped Romaine lettuce, Persian cucumbers, green bell peppers, red onions, and cheese. They have 2 lemon wedges on the side and let me tell you, that acid just takes the salad to a whole new level. Order it with avocado and thousand island dressing and you'll keep ordering it, trust.“
“Always the BEST Service! I look forward to going to Tacos El Chivo because of the spectacular service! I only speak English. I understand a bit of Spanish but there is a bit of a language barrier but, it never stops me from going to Tacos El Chivo. Because they go the extra mile to make sure they make me feel comfortable and make sure that they get my order correct. You feel like you are family. Thank you to this family that owns and runs Tacos El Chivo!“
