“I ordered the Baja fish tacos and the Watermelon Margarita. The tacos were amazing and the Watermelon Margarita was one of the best I have ever had! 😎“

“I went with a pal and just had drinks. It was expensive and the service was sort of slow considering the price.

The food was decent as I was given a little to try. The atmosphere is dark lighting wise in the evening but the vibe was nice. The atmosphere is fancy. If you got the money it’ll be a nice time.“

“Great place for 1/2 price taco Tuesdays“

“Amazing service and food was great!!“

“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday with30+ family and friends. They had awesome service!“

“Great food and incredible service. We recently moved to the area from another part of OC and were delighted to discover a place with such delicious and authentic food close to us. The service has also been great eat time we’ve come. Once we even arrived as they were closing up and they offered to keep the kitchen open and serve us.“

“Excellent food and service as well! The drinks were very tasty too!“

“Just had one of their soups !! It's so good. I suggest you try it out !“

“Just an incredible experience at the drive-through. I wouldn’t leave a review unless this was special and they were so helpful kind polite. I hadn’t been to El Pollo Loco in a while so I had a lot of dumb questions and they helped me customize my order. We’re very quick and charming.

No issues with the food either I asked for creamy chipotle sauce on my classic chicken burrito. Highly recommend it.“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The customer service was outstanding from the moment I arrived. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of.

A special thank you to Manager Ellie, who was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out and made us feel valued as customers.

Great food and excellent service!“

“Rubios Coastal Grill is a great choice in the fast casual restaurant segment. The menu is simple: tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, with the usual appetizers you know and love.

The chips and guacamole taste fresh, and I like that I don't have to look for jalapeños so I can share with my kids.

The burritos were flavorful and the ingredients tasted fresh. They do manage to put plenty of meat in the burritos and it didn't leave us feeling like they had shorted some ingredients.

Our host was friendly and did us a great service of providing some advice that saved us some money. Looking out for the customer is a rare gift and we're glad she was engaged with our order to recognize the opportunity.

The restaurant is well-maintained. Our table had been cleaned just before we sat down. The salsas were fresh, and there really was no mess anywhere. As with any fast casual place, the atmosphere is not jarring and allows you to enjoy your meal at a reasonable pace. However, like all other similar restaurants, you will not stay longer that necessary.“

“Very nice everything Nice food“

“The food is in a corner food court. There are 4 or 5 places to eat there. The cashier didn't look like he was happy to work there. When I asked a question he grumbed some answer that I could't understand. They don't have Salsa Mocaljete anymore. They was my favorite.“

“Very sweet cashiers, amazing customer service. First time visiting this location and had amazing food. Sat outside which most places call you to go inside to pick up your food, not here. They brought our food to us and gave restaurant-like service asking every so often if we needed anything!“

“Stumbled upon this restaurant last year during the holidays. Decided to give it a try again yesterday. But was kind of disappointed with how dry the tacos were including the meat. However the staff are extremely friendly, kind and patient. I ordered ahead. It is a little pricey but it's the only taco spot close by.“

“Filling and well prepared!“

“I like the Fesco bowl with rice,chicken, avocado, tomatoes, black beans onions,cilantro. Perfect size It was a nice change of healthy“

“This Del Taco has done a lot to turn itself around. After years of terrible service, I tried them after they completed a remodel and was surprised as how much better the store has become. The staff are friendly and have great customer service. And its so convenient to grab a bite on the way to Doheny which is a very short walk from the restaurant.“
