“Literally these are the best fries I've ever had hands down. I got the original plain with just salt on them and the original chili BBQ which were off the hook. Both of them were amazing even the plain salted ones. I'm actually am shocked how good these fries are they were perfectly crispy not overcooked with the perfect amount of seasoning they are absolutely delicious. My son had come home about an hour and a half after I got them and I told him to try them and you know how usually after fries sit for 15-20 minutes they're not that good well after an hour and a half they were still top-notch ...no lie!!!! My son said oh "Damn if there.this good after over an hour then I wonder what they tasted like when you first got them".... that's how good they are!!! They are perfection...crisp but not at all burnt, not at all oily and the taste is fresh!! I also tried the spicy nuggets which We're more like popcorn chicken which is fine by us because we love popcorn chicken they were absolutely delicious.The portion sizes for both were very generous. I will be going back here without a doubt not even a question and not just once in a while but quite often. Because these items were so good I wanna try their burger and their Cheese sticks. Great job...so happy to have a place like this 3 min away!!“

“Awesome place for a quick snack. Super easy to order on the app and have ready in minutes. Never disappoints. Its a little dreary when you walk inside but other than that the place is great. I'm sure it's more bustling during a weekday lunch time, just never been there around that time“

“Regularly ride by the truck and always see at least one customer. Decided to stop by. Ordered the Chile Relleno plate over rice, frijoles and macaroni salad. Added a hot chocolate drink. If your Spanish isn't up to par, the clerk also speaks English. The meal was excellent, the beans didn't taste like they contained lard, the rice was fluffy and flavored with a stock, the macaroni salad cooked just right and the stuffed ground meat chile relleno was greaseless and tasted homemade.Well return to try the rellenitos, and hilochas.GREAT job guys“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“I've been an avid Taco Bell eater and this place didn't disappoint. Coming from the San Mateo fair, we were hungry and ate some here—fast service with music and a few people around 3pm on Sunday. We gave them special instructions and they listened! I'm glad because we have an order tailored to what we like, and they make it to our liking for which we are very thankful for. Would recommend for those who are passing by and want tacos.“

“Open late and fast service, as you would expect from a taco bell. They now have two auto service kiosks for ordering at that feel fairly removed and not welcoming, but that seems to be the standard of all fast food places now to have these. The food was not great, but as you would expect from a taco bell. Prices are very cheap for the area.“

“I ordered on Uber eats so I can’t account for the service and atmosphere, but the food was the best I’ve ever had from any McDonald’s chain. The chicken nuggets were perfectly chicken-nugget, the fries had the perfect crisp-to-chew ratio, and my drink was so cold and refreshing. Love it!“
