“Quick date with the husband...if you ever want to just get out and go get the best food, go here. Hands down I would drive hours for one more fried oyster... We had the fried mac & cheese balls which were phenomenal. That has to be the best mac & cheese Ive ever had and Im not typically a fan. These might change my mind. I got the fried oysters with cabbage and yams, my husband ordered the crazy shrimp but I taxed it (so good), the kids each have po boys with fish... A more perfect food does not exist”

Brewery • $
“Very neat place, I enjoy that they offer there own version of White Claw or Trulys.
The atmosphere is amazing with street tattoo style theme, pin ball machines, bathrooms and beers!
Sometimes you can catch a good truck that will park over here so you can eat. Transplant does offer snacks but not food or anything that needs to be prepared and cooked.
Will always come back 💚🍻 (my drink I got was the Corkey Catus cooler).”

“Can’t speak on atmosphere, as my ordered was delivered. Impressed with the quantity and quality of food in relation to price. Alecia does b not skimp. The Calzone was big enough to feed two, the Zucchini was not soggy and crisp to perfection. I had the Eggplant Parmesan and it is the best I’ve had in the A.V., but the chef’s kiss was the Crème Brûlée. OMGoodness! I’m so glad there was no fruit atop the hard sugar coat to ruin the crackle. Will be making this establishment a regular stop.”

Mexican • $
“One of our favorite places for breakfast, brunch or lunch depending on how late in the day we get there! Everything tastes homemade and like I'm sitting in the kitchen with my madrina and abuelita. Their 2 tamale combo plate is a great bargain. Today my daughter had that, hubby got the Chile Verde plate and I got the Chile Verde burrito, wet. They often bring complimentary chips and salsa to the table too! If you're looking for classic Mexican comfort food, this cozy little place tucked away in a strip mall will hit the spot.”

Sushi • $$
“The place is small,but the sushi was flavourful and fresh, the portions are generous and very appealing.
This was our first time here, and probably not the last one.
The only inconvenient we had was a 40 minute delay in our food order, because for some reason we where skipped, I got my sushi and oddly the wasabi and ginger came after I was done with all my sushi roll.
I believe this was just an odd day and will try again another day.
Thank you.”

“I grew up going to El Toreo in Palmdale from the late '90s through the early 2000s, and it's still the best Mexican food I've ever had. I spent 10 years in the Army and another 10 driving trucks, so I've been to just about every state and tried Mexican food everywhere. Arizona comes closest in second place, Colorado a distant third. Texas was horrible — it's Tex-Mex, and it sucks anyway. Even when you try straight Mexican there, it's bland and commercialized. Every street truck in the West is amazing and a whole different thing than restaurants. Anything on the East Coast is just an insult to the cuisine.
Outside Southern California it's all bland, overly cheesy Americanized versions that taste like they came from a chain, no real heat or fresh ingredients, burritos that are all tortilla and zero flavor. I've been back a few times in recent years, and El Toreo still holds the crown. Nothing else touches it.”

She was a light and shine in a moment of vulnerability and I needed her kindness in that moment and she gave me above and beyond!! Thank you Alyssa and I’m sorry if I spelled your name wrong ♥️”

I appreciate their proffesionalism ans willingness to here my concerns. Sushi was great. Just wish I had gotten some eel sauce and egg rolls.”

Sushi • $$
“The presentation also deserves recognition. Each plate arrived with attention to detail, making the meal feel curated rather than rushed. That level of care reflects a kitchen that respects both the food and the customer experience.
Service was another major highlight. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and quick to offer recommendations based on preferences rather than simply pushing popular menu items. That personal touch makes a huge difference, especially for guests who may be newer to sushi.
Pricing felt fair for the quality being served. While it may not be the cheapest sushi option in town, it absolutely justifies the cost through freshness, consistency, and overall experience.

“Korean/Japanese food with many options. Plenty of rice protein options. I ordered the udon and beef bulhogi bowl. Spent 22$ and it was the best udon I've had. Simple delicious and big portion. Had pickled gold beet which was a pleasant little surprise. Better udon than any Japanese restaurant I've been to. Beef bowl was flavorful, juicy, with soft warm rice and softly fresh cooked veggies. I've always wanted to come here and drove by often. Glad I finally did. This is Def a gem in palmdale. All in all the experience Def left me pink and merry. Thank you keep it up!”

“I just wanna celebrate how Yogurtland has always been my go to yogurt place. I recently went to Menchie's over by the mall because I wanted to see if they were improved from the last time I went there. Unfortunately, the experience was very lacking.
I made my way over to Yogurtland and I instantly felt welcomed and bought a big bowl. The only benefits I can see with Menchies is they have meme-friendly toppings thrown in there.
Also I'm a little concerned about the unprofessionalism of Menchie's subtly dunking on Yogurtland when I mentioned my choice to go to one over the other because of my customer experience. Not good vibes there.
Yogurtland for the win.”

“Indoor dining is great. Medrano’s still hasn’t learned how to pack a go order. The soup lids are so flimsy that if you put more than one on top of the other one, the lid breaks and spills soup. Then, if the chips are packed in the soup bag, the bottom of the chip bag gets wet. When you try to get the chips out, the bottom of the bag rips and chips go all over the floor. This isn’t the first time this has happened. This will be the last time. The other place I eat wraps plastic around the whole soup container, so if the lid does break, the soup still stays in the holder.”
