“Known for their breakfast and burgers; I enjoy the zucchini, always taste so fresh. Love the breading on the zucchini which is not too heavy or thick. The chicken and avocado sandwich on sourdough was delicious. Great home style feel while offering a faster food option. Give them a try.“

“This restaurant was a destination stop in my youth. They are not in my state, so I had to visit them again when I was out of town. This restaurant is clean, but I did notice several wet stains on their ceiling, which could be roof leaking. We ordered a 3 piece meal and a chicken taco. The sides were corn and beans. Everything in the meal was good tasting. My only complaint is chicken pieces are too small. The taco with visit sauce was also good. Prices are a little high for a fast food meal.“

“Where’s the BEEF!! You can barely see the thinnest layer of beef! I like this place and employees for the most part but this was a F failure, they must be short on beef ? If I had paid full price I would have complained to the manager and asked for another but since I got this on a Tuesday drop I’ll just post it here. It definitely changes my mind about stopping here in the future.
Update ; later that night i went to another TB (Escondido blvd) and got the same crunch wrap supreme and it was the SAME!! A slither brush wipe of beef!!!
The thing is i live 1hr 40minutes round trip away from any fast food, so I may be a bit more sensitive to miss cues but 2 locations on the same day is just upsetting!!“

“I took one star away for NOT being available in my town. My goodness, for the price I gotta say the food is very very good. I love how B. K. Sticks to what they have always done. Burgers. I usually get the basics and always happy. I just am disappointed my home town can't keep a B. K. Due to unspoken reasons. We've had two chances at a B. K. But closed each time. I can't say why publicly because the stories are not varifiable. Still. I wish they'd try again where I live. B. K. Please re open in my town! 🙏“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Taco Bell

I don’t usually write reviews, but this experience had to be shared. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Burrito through the drive-thru, and WOW—absolute flavor explosion! The melted cheese on the outside of the burrito is pure genius. It’s like they wrapped it in a blanket of golden, cheesy perfection. One bite and my taste buds were completely blown away.

I was so impressed, I literally parked and went back inside to order a second one just to see how this masterpiece was made. Yes, it was that good. Melty, savory, perfectly grilled, and packed with flavor. Hats off to whoever came up with this recipe—this is next-level fast food.

Taco Bell, you’ve outdone yourselves. I’ll be dreaming about this burrito until I come back. 🔥🌯🧀“

“We came in and ordered a 5 person family meal on a Friday night and so they were out of one of the dishes we ordered. We had to wait a few minutes for the order to be ready, but the representatives were so polite and checked in with us periodically. When the order was complete they threw in an order of free spring rolls because we had to wait. It was a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be back.“

“Whoa!!! Absolutely awesome. I’m amazed as to how far the staff went to resolve my issue. I lost a battle to Christmas hours and ordered food this closed subway. Unfortunately, the system was still taking orders and customer support didn’t help at all to issue a refund. Today I go in to satisfy my subway cravings and explained the situation. Immediately, the profesional artist contacted the owner in an attempt to help me out. I was told the order will be canceled and I will be refunded! Cool! 2 hrs later, Justin had reached out to me with a wonderful solution, a heartfelt apology, and an explanation.“
