“🤤🤤🤤🤤😱😱😱 A 10!!! I GIVE IT A TEN!!!! OMG I just had your food for the first time today 4/25/23 3:59pm and oh my this California Burrito & Holy Guacamole Burger & fries is entirely too good and I will be visiting again. Please, Please, Please, Never Leave Vegas, and please build another location in N. Las Vegas (preferably the Centennial area like across the street from my house 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰) JK. But definitely in the Centennial area. Great Staff too. VERY FRIENDLY. ❤️“

“Great food and good service 😍“

“The Double Double no onion please,“

“It’s always good and fresh“

“We were there on vacation a few weeks back stopped for lunch and was very happy with the food and service especially your server Valerie think her last name was Long. she was quick and polite. Another of times you go to a restaurant and don't even get a smile. Valerie was very kind and was very polite.“

“Yummy food!!😋😋👍🏿👍🏿, excellent customer service. You can’t go wrong.“

“Bale French Sandwich is a tiny shop tucked away in Mira Mesa Square serving quick Vietnamese dishes like banh mi, fried rice, egg rolls, and boba.

We enjoyed the charbroiled pork and lemongrass chicken banh mi - a great value at $6.25 each. The bread had a great crust: thin, very crisp, and flaky. The pickled carrot and daikon added nice texture and brightness, while the raw jalapeños brought the right amount of heat. The egg rolls were also a hit, with a peppery flavor and a crisp outer shell.

Note that this is a grab-and-go spot with a strictly business vibe. The service is efficient, so have your order ready. There is only one small table for snacking and two benches for waiting. They also offer extensive party tray options if you order in advance.

There is plenty of free parking, though the lot gets competitive on weekends due to the nearby Aldi and Lucky Seafood Market.“

“todo super rico !! fresco y un sabor esquisito“

“Food was good and a good value. Crispy skin on the chicken and salsa roja is really good. The best part was the employees. Super friendly and dine in service was really fast. You can tell they have a great team. The manager went above and beyond. It was my first time trying El Pollo Loco and I’ll be returning to this location for sure.“

“Wowzwrz. Believe the hype. Legit Mexican - ie taco Tuesday trifecta - nut perfecto. Service was patient and kind. Tons of flavor in each, carnitas, carne asada and adobado. Too hard to choose. One of each for $9 is going to be worth it every-time. The homemade tortillas are the cherry. Get there. Eat there. Be merry 🤙“

“I’m in love with biryani here vegetarian biryani I tried at 100places but finally I quit eating vegetable biryani But this place when I tried I loved it Will never go anywhere if I want vegetarian biryani this is my only place to go Plus another thing I love their chats samosa chat and aloo tikki chat Aloo tikki chat is my favourite one Haven’t tried anything else yet but will update if I will tried some another dishes 💯 recommended“

“Doesn’t look like much walking past, but WOW this was amazing and fresh Mexican food- I had the TamaElote- a perfect tamale topped with generous deconstructed Elote topping- two of my favorite things all warm and happy for only $5, it fed me better than the much more expensive meals we’d spend for a similar meal at a fancy restaurant. Perfect for walking around old town, but worthy of a destination in itself!“

“so good so clean and the service is a super service !! totally 2 tums up!!!“

“The young lady in the lot taking the orders on a 94 degree day was a true professional!“

“I’ll start off my review with saying great customer service . It shows the owner has put in a lot much of his/her time to train their employees properly . Every time I walk in I am always greeted and never rushed when ordering . I personally love there fruit waters and making my own chip bowl. All prices are decent and affordable so they fit everyones budget . It can get busy from time to time but totally worth the wait . I definitely recommend visiting this location to grab something for your sweet tooth or salty craving:) . Most importantly this location is always clean and sanitized ! You will never see a mess.“

“Always perfect burgers and fries at this location. Friendly and fun staff.“

“We went to lunch yesterday at the local In N Out burger. Of course it was delicious. That's the great thing about INO, no matter where in the country the food ALWAYS high quality and very consistent. Cant say that about many other fast food places. 😋“

“tenders are great ❤️ milkshake too“

“I called in a to-go order on a Tuesday around 8 PM. When I arrived, the restaurant was pretty busy. Since I needed to pay for my order, I had to wait behind four customers who were placing their orders before I could get to the counter. It would be much more convenient if there were a separate area for customers picking up / call-in orders so they could quickly pay and grab their food without waiting in the regular line.

I ordered the:

•California Burrito: it was delicious. The fries were crispy, and it had the perfect balance of guacamole and sour cream inside. The green sauce on top added a ton of flavor to it. The burrito was also a generous size. I ended up saving about a third of it for later.

The employees were very friendly and even thanked me for waiting. My order was ready when I arrived, about 10 minutes after calling it in. The restaurant was clean, and there was plenty of complimentary parking available in the lot.

Overall, great food, friendly service, and a clean environment.“

“I. I. I. I. I. I i“

“This place is great, I got the shrimp burrito. who knew tater tots and shrimp go well together! It adds a slight crispness to every bite. I couldn’t finish the burrito it was so big but I wanted to cuz it was delicious. My husband from PA got the Philly cheesesteak to try and he approved. He even liked the special sauce they used.“

“I’m a rode biker and I ride all over San Diego but I never miss my weekly stop for a quick mocha to help me make it up another hill. Miriam and Q treat me like family. So glad that I found this little paradise in Sorrento Valley.“

“Everyone is nice and easy going. I honestly appreciate it here. You can feel the good vibes, kindness and warmth from them. Celly is a clear example and really shows us the amazing standard they have at the amazing customer service. Pls, give him a raise!“

“The best place in San Diego“

“Deliciosas nos encantan !“

“Number 1 burger in the world 🌎“

“chilaquiles can carne asada were very good. Good portion, good price awesome service“

“El café los desayunos todo rico 😋“

“We ordered a wide variety of sushi rolls, appetizers, and small plates, and everything arrived fresh and beautifully presented. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were flavorful, and the portions were satisfying without feeling overly heavy. What I liked most was the variety available on the menu because it gave everyone a chance to try different flavors and combinations throughout the meal. The all-you-can-eat option also felt worth it because the quality remained consistent with every order.“

“As a thriller and romance author, I often stop for a quick meal while traveling around San Diego, and Chick-fil-A is a very popular location.

There’s plenty of parking available, which makes it easy to stop in even when the restaurant is busy. And this place is usually busy, which says a lot about how much people enjoy it.

The staff has always been friendly and efficient, which is exactly what Chick-fil-A is known for. Even with the steady flow of customers, they do a great job keeping orders moving quickly.

The food is consistently good and dependable, making it an easy choice when you want something quick and satisfying.

It’s also a convenient stop before heading over to the nearby bookstore. During one visit I even had a couple people recognize me from my outdoor YouTube channel and stop to say hello, which made the visit even more fun.

Overall it’s a reliable spot with great service and good food.“

“Fast friendly service. Clean restrooms“

“Food was amazing! Service was great! I will definitely come back!“

“la calidad de sus ingredientes su forma de preparar el marinado a sus tiempos el estilo de pure sus salsa de la casa y sobre todo su atencion.saludos equipo hector mayra y carlos“

“the grilled breakfast sandwich & Cobb salad wit & Arnold Palmer is delicious 😋“

“Bryan did a super nice gesture. I was on lunch and needed to get back to work and he went out of his way and opened up the next lane even tho it was not busy. He was taking a big order and it was nice that he realized that the line was forming“

“es demasiado rico lo recomiendo“

“This place is located in the food court inside 99 Ranch in Balboa Ave. They have tables to sit in. I ordered the 3 piece chicken combo meal. Salt & pepper flavor. Also, ordered the spicy mac & cheese. Chicken was pretty crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The mac & cheese was also very good“

“Descent burgers and fries for the price you pay. Specially if you’re on a budget“

“We love El Sombrero! Everything is excellent! We live right next to a **berto’s but haven’t been there in years since we found this gem!

The beans are great! The rice is great! The chips are great! The chunky salsa is amazing! I know these are “sides” but it means a lot.

I’m a huge Chile verde fan and the burrito is fantastic! Add rice and cheese and it’s two meals.

My wife loves the relleno, taquitos, crunchy taco, Cali taco and, her new favorite, deluxe breakfast burrito.

Always fresh. Always fast. Always delicious.

The people working at Rio San Diego are awesome too!“

“Amazingly friendly staff. When you walk in, you immediately feel like family. There is so much variety. The #25 is amazing with it's fresh sliced avocado. The #45 is easily my favorite hot sandwich. There is always 2 new soups daily and all of them are absolutely delicious. Everything is fresh and fully customizable. The prices are easily justified when you consider just how big the portions are. The staff in general will always make you feel welcome. They are attentive to their customers and have a unique way of making a bad day a lot better. Highly recommend just for the atmosphere here.“

“Absolutely the best customer service I’ve ever experienced and not only this establishment but any other fast food restaurants. I had a kind of complicated order, but DC Smoothing it out and got me exactly what I needed for me and my family. Definitely will be coming back here and hopefully see this Gentleman Again.

Look out for DC, he was on the Window and Coms, I’m sure he’s gonna take care of y’all.“

“Update: Antonio E. Has amazing customer service and patience. He is very positive and upbeat and makes the most out of our visits to Taco Bell! Thank you Antonio!

Carlos R is amazing! He makes my day every time I go to this Taco Bell :D“

“Was reminiscing on how the store owner Eric Pigg helped me get away from my abusive Boyfriend, by offering me the office to come to stay in a safe place and use the phone to call my family, I finally took him up on that chance, he told me go home and never come back here! thank You for helping me plan and finally leave my toxic life behind! this was over 15 years ago.“

“Want to say the waiting for longer then inspect and had only one problem went back three time until they got a burger right.
The girl that was waiting on us was very easy and friendly .
But the guy was very unappreciated on helping us with the remake .
On vacation, I'm trying something different. From Texas“

“Amazing sandwiches we found to be the best in town“

“Great food but terrible location in the middle of an industrial park. They need to move to a strip mall on a busy street to get more business“

“BEST burritos and breakfast burritos in the city, county, state, and perhaps the country. Walk up window, great employees, easy access to the bay or the ocean. If you want to eat delicious, authentic Mexican food, you should go here. If you want to eat food that tastes worse than this, you should go anywhere else.“

“came with my family to eat during lunch time everything was hot and fresh. Fast Service clean restaurant friendly team and what can I say about the kitchen team Serving hot food thanks“

“el lugar está agradable al estilo californiano, y la comida muy buena. las papas fritas deliciosas y en general todo rico 🤩🤩🤩🤩 ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️“
