    “First time in California. Tried In N Out in Santa Monica - absolutely terrible. My first impression was that In N Out was just a basic flavorless burger. However, gave it a 2nd try while visiting some family in San Marcos. It was like night and day. Our cashier was super nice and patient with me as I figure out what I want. The burger tasted so much better. Very happy with this experience.”

    “Taco Tuesdays are my favorite day at this place because the food is great. However, I’ve heard that the food might be different on other days. One thing that really annoys me is their payment system. You have to pay for your order first and then wait in line for it. The line can be incredibly long, sometimes over 30 minutes. Despite the long wait, their system tacos are amazing on Taco Tuesdays. Word of caution: the Al pastor tacos can be very inconsistent, one day they can be crispy with full of flavor, other days they can be soggy and bland.”

    “This Carl’s Jr. went above and beyond today! I had placed an order through the app thinking I placed it at this Knoll road location. I went in to pick up my order but I discovered I placed my order in Lake Elsinore. I heard Alfredo the cashier mention this to his coworkers while I called the other Carl’s. As soon as I got off the phone to cancel the order, Patricia, which I believe is one of the managers, wanted to know what I ordered so she could get the order transferred. I showed them the order on my phone and they got the order promptly made. I offered to pay because I was told I would be receiving a refund but Patricia and refused and said it is ok, don’t worry about it. As I finished up my meal, the employee from the Lake Elsinore called me back to reassure me that I would receive a refund in 1-3 business days. I waved Patricia to inform that I just got confirmation of the refund and that I insisted on paying for the meal. She still refused and said it is ok. The only thing she asked of me was to leave a Google Review so here I am. Thank you team Carl’s Jr. in San Marcos at the Knoll road location and a special big Thank You to Patricia and Alfredo!”

Their burgers are loaded with quality meat, fresh vegetables, and tasty ingredients. Their tater tots are crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. Their shakes and Sonic Blasts are delicious. This is my new favorite fast food.”
