“Manny was the kindest employee I have had have the chance of meeting. He is extremely genuine and builds upon a positive experience to every customer he comes across. He even helped my boyfriend on some tricks to better his Spanish. All in all if I could give my experience more than five stars I would!!!“

“This is one of my favorite spots for a quick bite. The onigiri are always perfectly seasoned, fresh, and filling. The staff is incredibly friendly, and Erick was especially kind and welcoming. Everything tasted authentic and comforting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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!!“

“Súper deliciosas las pupusas 😋100%recomendadas“

“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.“

“Stopped by this Subway and had the absolute best experience thanks to Daisy! She was incredibly welcoming, upbeat, and so easy to talk to. She gave me some amazing suggestions to build the perfect sandwich, and it turned out fantastic. Excellent customer service!“

“This is the best Jersey Mike’s in the entire state of California!! As soon as we walk in everyone is just beaming, smiling from ear to ear, everyone behind the counter was just lovely to talk to. Additionally, there were so accommodating to my wife who has celiac. They were so cheerful, and happy to accommodate her dietary needs. And it didn’t make the situation feel like a burden or a hassle at all. The food was delicious, served and ready to go out the door really fast. Everyone in this restaurant needs a raise upon a raise. Appreciate everyone in this restaurant!“

“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“

“L verdd q todo es súper rrica la comida y la atención es muy buena“

“Super Unprofessional more than 30 mins to closing time they turnin down purchases like they ran out of product when they just being lazy and dont wanna make more Went back a few days later to see they fixed the issue in regards to being short on product they had a very large supply of product ready for sale and were very polite and gave great service so big ups to the employees at this location for turnin it around so quickly definitely my new favorite Wetzel’s now“

“I used to say “never Taco Bell,” to my kiddos, but, Carlos at the San Mateo El Camino Taco Bell changed my mind. My kids ordered the most ridiculous customizations you can imagine, and somehow everything came out perfect. They were thrilled, which means I was thrilled.
Shoutout to Carlos for turning “never Taco Bell” into “can we go back to Taco Bell?”
If Carlos ran all Taco Bells, I’d be living off of chalupas (and whatever my kids don't eat, obviously, w/ their Taco Bell customizations).

Thank you!“

“Great job on the hand made tortilla“

“I had an amazing experience at this subway! Two ladies (I don't know their name) they provided outstanding service from the moment I walked. They made my sandwich the exact way I wanted. They employees greeted every customer with a a smile during lunch rush. It's clear the team took pride in their work. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this subway. Great food and great service.“

“Just came here for the fried apple pie. Has the crunch, but maybe they weren't from the fryer or sitting a while, filling was not piping hot like i remember. Theres typically a warning label for the heat. Then again this is a limited time release.“
