“Black Market is an excellent shop for healthy meal prep and customizable post-workout shakes. The food is delicious, and well-made. The staff is attentive and friendly, remembering names and orders with regularity. They will frequently ask when a customer orders a shake if anyone else is having one, so they can all be made simultaneously, which is convenient.

At times, however, the process of ordering a single meal slows drastically when customers ahead of you order several meals at once. I have walked out on a couple occasions because I could not wait for 8 meals (sometimes more) to be portioned out. Granted, this is partially because of customers who are making up their minds! At any rate, maybe having a second employee available to assist with smaller orders or shakes in moments such as this would be helpful.“

TJ's Tap and Table at Tijeras Creek Golf Club New American • $$
29082 Tijeras Creek Road, Rancho Santa Margarita

“UPDATE: I have raised to 4 stars because the service has slowly improved over the last few months. Thank you for taking note of customer input and acting on it. As of now 11Aug22, solid service, good food. Taco Tuesday is great. I will continue my regular visits and hope to give 5 stars soon.Old: The last several times we have been to TJ's we have had no service. We are coming off the course hot and thirsty, we seat ourselves and no one comes by for 15-20 mins. No water, no welcome, nothing. If you can get served the food is solid. We have enjoyed breakfast here before and it was really good. When its 90 degrees and golfers are coming off a round on the course, offer them some water would ya? I HATE giving low reviews, but until this situation is fixed it will stay this way.Edit: The director of food and drink responded almost immediately so I raised my review by a star (From 2 to 3). I will go back sometime in the next couple weeks (Anonymously of course), if the problems have been resolved, I will edit this review further.“
