“I've been wanting to go here for some time but never felt like I deserved to. Or even if I did, I never had someone who would possibly enjoy it with. So I was so excited to have been able to finally go today to celebrate @wakandinh 's birthday and do a date night. This was honestly some of the most prettiest and tastiest food I have had. These were some of my favorites tonight. They honestly were all so well thought out and meticulously prepared. I am so grateful to have experienced this Omakase service. The staff and Chef Gino were very attentive, friendly, and endearing. The ambiance was cozy and intimate. 10/10 will have to come back another time not just for the beautiful meal but Chef Gino himself. Thank you Chef for this wonderful meal! ??♀️”
“It is currently one of my favorite places to be. The staff is wonderful. They are great at recommending drinks. The drinks on the menu are super creative and the staff gets a hand in creating new ideas. There is a live jazz band on Wednesdays from 8-11 that is KILLING it! There's a pool table, and outdoor partio/smoking area and they have mexican food most nights. I freaking love this place ?
Parking: There's usually plenty of street parking but when it's busy I just park in the lot across the street with no issues”
“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!”

“Very friendly and prompt service. Lots of selections of milk tea, fruit drink, smoothies, and sugar cane juices.
The teas are made with 3 blends: lack, golden black and mountain green tea, and seemed pretty good quality. The vibe is pretty nice and pleasant.
I ordered the Brown Sugar with custard, it came out beautifully, and it’s pretty sweet even at 1/2 sweet. I’d probably order 1/4 sweet since I prefer less sugar.”
“Good portions and good food and reasonable prices with friendly service”
“I recently tried the durian cake from BAKERY 101 and it exceeded my expectations! Not only was it incredibly delicious, but the price was also very affordable. The flavor was rich and authentic, and the texture was perfect. It's evident that they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into their baking. I highly recommend trying it if you're a durian lover like me. Will definitely be coming back for more!”
“I just want to say, Paul, great guy. Excellent customer service. The atmosphere here is laid back, chill, he looks like a great boss. Everyone he was talking to seemed like they were having fun. Makes this location one of the better ones to visit!”
“Chicken Kabob plate is excellent. Pita bread portions are very generous.”
“First timer here, came in for falafel & zucchini fries. The guy there, Carlos, was very friendly & helpful. He gave me a sample of the mushroom shwarma and I ended more food than I came im for. It was sooo good! They have vegan sauces too. Everything was good. I would definitely come back here.”
“Hidden gem hole in the wall... that's also a chain? Literally all their sandwiches are good. They have variable stock with drinks and chips. I liked that they stocked Celsius but now they don't. These sandwiches hold up amazingly well. They are clearly made with the freshest ingredients and taste like they are made by people who love what they do. You can really taste a difference here. It's a must try.”
“My wife and I are on holidays in California. We stopped in at Cali Licious Crab by fluke and enjoyed the best Cajun Shrimp meal ever. We will absolutely be returning. The service was amazing. Sydney was so friendly and informative. Highly recommend!!!”
“They clearly take tremendous pleasure in their store and merchandise. The Italian grinder and the pastrami on a baguette that we had were both excellent. We'll definitely start stopping here frequently on our way to the beach to pick up sandwiches.”
“Ordered a margherita pizza on accident instead of a pepperoni and it was so good didn’t have to worry about it. The mango habanero wings were flavored with plenty of heat and really good. Will definitely come back when we are in the area.”
“I eat here often the food is healthy and tastes great and the service is fast and friendly”
“Love This here Food is great! I don't think that I have ever been disappointed with there food. Wait staff is great!”
“I’ve had the opportunity to visit TRUST twice and was blown away each time. The entire experience is thought through and designed for each guest to blown away. The wine pairings were such a wonderful touch. The food is next level and something to be savored. You can feel the love and passion from everyone on the staff. If you’ve been thinking of visiting, stop thinking and make the reservation. You won’t be disappointed!”
“The food is great in general. I tried a steak and pasta combo, both were great separately. Steak was surprisingly very good for a pasta restaurant.... But I will never do the combination again...just felt weird somehow?”
“A Delightful Afghan feast! We recently visited a local gem and tried the Qabili Palau and Kabab combo. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful, each bite offering a rich taste of Afghan cuisine. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, with plenty of seating to accommodate diners comfortably. It was a delightful dining experience, and we can't wait to return for more. Highly recommended!”
Outdoor Dining
“I'm a regular guest at this amazing burger place! Everyone, who works, here goes above and beyond. The food here is phenomenal! There is plenty of parking and the inside of the restaurant Is, always, clean and organized.
This is definitely the best burger spot in Southern California.
Keep up the good work 'Gully Burger!' Well done! Five out of five stars.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Mr. Shahid D. Syed.”
“Great food. Very Happy I stopped there for dinner. I will be going back there again soon.”
“Really solid, health Mediterranean food. We immensely enjoyed their Mediterranean salad, humus, cucumber yogurt salad, and red cabbage salad. The red cabbage salad is slightly sweet and creamy. The Mediterranean salad is basically a veggie-dense salad with a dressing similar to Italian. The chicken shawarma wasn’t anything impressive, pretty simple seasoning. The sides were honestly the highlight. Their rice was pretty tasty, it had a subtle nutty flavor to it that made it much more enjoyable than plain white rice. Super underrated part was their pickles and PICKLED RADISH. It’s just a garnish but when we told the guy at the counter how much we liked them he brightened us a side of extra. Very friendly staff.”
“I got a Taro tea from Koco Sushi and it is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for other Taro enthusiasts. There are other teas available too (featured in the picture provided). The only issue I had was the boba. It’s too hard to chew but other than that, it’s all good ?.”
“It is currently one of my favorite places to be. The staff is wonderful. They are great at recommending drinks.

Parking: There's usually plenty of street parking but when it's busy I just park in the lot across the street with no issues”
“Pizza slices are ready good. Thin and crisp like New York style. They are about $5 a slice which is a little high but really good.
Parking: Paid street parking or there is a paid parking structure.”
“Stopped on our way to San Diego to grab a snack. The shake was excellent and the chicken tenders were tasty and filling. All plant based! My daughter ran in to pick up so I can’t rate the vibe. But food quality was A+.”
“My husband and I hired Tutto Fresco to cater our wedding and they did an amazing job. The service was wonderful and the team was flexible to help us when our timeline was running behind. The food was delicious. Highly recommend them for weddings!”
“I have come here a few times and most recently tried the Strawberry Iced Matcha, it was delicious! The staff is very kind and friendly and there's great seating inside to work or relax. I also like that they have a board up to advertise local events and businesses.”
“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!”
“4.5 really. Nice coffee shop at the strip mall featuring other pretty good food places. I had an iced filter coffee. The first sips felt without character but it settled over time and the taste came through.
The line took too long and the servic toe was just alright.
The space has a good vibe.”

“First time here, great service and yummy food. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone had a warm smile to welcome us in. We will definitely be back”
“This has just become a new staple in my life! I absolutely love that you can create your own stir fry. The egg noodles are amazing and cooked perfectly and the combination the chef does with the Sweet and spicy. Chaz has just the right amount of kick to it for my taste. I come back almost every week! @blushpix”
“Karaoke Thursday!!! Everyone there is so friendly and accommodating. I celebrated my birthday there and had the best time! Oh and we played trivia too and my team won!”

“Perfection! Creative takes on classic favorites. Everything scratch made, even the mayonnaise. The owner came to check in with me after I mentioned my allergies. And the food made me dance with delight. 10/10”
“It’s a good food joint. They have good value combo options for the amount. We ordered 2 combos in which we had vegetarian dishes like chana masala, paneer saag, dal makhni and navratan korma. Each combo was around $10 and had 1 curry, rice and a bread. If you would add one more curry, it would cost a $1 extra. The portion size was really good for 1 person. Dal makhni tasted really good and the rest all dishes were also okay. Naan was freshly prepared at that time. We also ordered mango lassi and samosas. Samosas also tasted good.
They do have outdoor seating as well.”
“first time going and the atmosphere was AMAZING, tried the waffles and they taste exactly how they smell ??. My husband got the breakfast burrito but beans tasted a bit off, service was good but one of the workers seemed a little less enthusiastic than the others but still was kind, over all very great experience and will be coming back to try some more vegan options :)”

“enjoyed the yellow curry and durian sticky rice. will definitely go back.”
“We have been there, there are several kisses, my best friend arrived, I brought my family, the food was very delicious, the mole was my favorite, but lately the truth is, the service has not been very good, but everything is very delicious.”
“If you’re looking for a nice dinner or brunch this neighborhood gem has a variety of dishes that change with the seasons. We recently went again to try the new Spring menu. They did it again with a few returning favorites and delicious new additions to their culinary repertoire. Usually busy so make sure you get a reservation through Yelp. Make sure you leave some room to splurge on dessert too! Thanks to the owners and staff for keeping the food and service on point.”
“I love ChapterOne! Great spot for lunch, brunch and dinner! The food has great flavor and consistent quality. The staff provides exceptional service. Branson is so attentive and provices the VIBES for a great experience. Brunch is always my favorite with the mimosa flight. And you cannot forget JJ the owner who personally tends to tables and establishes connections with all customers. Such a community environment! Love it! ?”

“Visite este Dennys y todos los empleados fueron muy amables siempre sonriendo se sentía una atmósfera llena de alegría Alejandra fue nuestra mesera siempre sonriendo y muy atenta a nuestras necesidades el café bien calientito y sabroso no se diga los pancakes de plátano con chocolate todo estuvo muy rico el restaurante estaba muy ocupado pero todo se miraba muy limpio desde el comedor hasta los baños gracias a todos mi familia y yo regresarémos adiós y gracias”
“The cashier girl was a little offensive toward me it was a little early so I walked in and they were cleaning so I asked them if they were open because it was brooms all over and, she said You got in right, what do you want?" I said sorry but since I saw all this, never mind I replied," well I ended buying because I wanted to use the restroom, and believe me THAT wasn't it Tahiti or whatever,”
“Stopped in to grab a quick bite after a long day. Always hits the spot. Perfect quick dinner when I do not have anything prepared for a post workout meal. Great staff. Great food. Clean facilities.
A definite 5-star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Amazing costumer service!! Eli attended me tonight and she was so helpful and kind, she greeted me when I walked in, she explained the menu to me perfectly, and she was so understanding with everything. She was above and beyond with customer service!!”
“the food here is so freaking delicious! everything tastes fresh and homemade, not to mention the prices are great. we never regret ordering! always makes our night :”
“I just moved to Santa Ana and it is my first time visiting this place and I was delighted. The flavor of the tacos is 100% Mexican. Congratulations. I recommend it 100%. Don't hesitate to visit them if you are in these parts.”
“I have a gluten intolerance, mr. Cesar who served us was very kind in giving me the correct options for dinner, he turned what is usually uncomfortable because I have to ask and make sure that what I am going to eat is gluten-free and not everyone has the knowledge or patience to tell me what to have for dinner Don César It made for a great experience and a delicious dinner. Thank you
Dietary restrictions: Gluten intolerance, shellfish and hobbies”

Parking: Enough for several cars
Kid-friendliness: Combinations to prepare to the children's taste.
Wheelchair accessibility: Access ramp in front of the business”
“I always worry about places where you order via QR code. Usually the service is poor Before I could get my order placed the server asked me if I had any questions. I appreciate that. I placed my order online and it worked fine. The food was very good. I wanted to post a great review for the service. It is so rare these days. Thank you Patricia.”
“We love our hometown Jack In The Box in Yucaipa California! Friendly servers,sparkling clean restaurant and bathrooms and plenty of parking.We tried their latest "Smash Burger"and it's really delicious !”

“Nice place to enjoy some food and drinks… Loved it’s ambiance and service.”
“Wow great food, kind staff, this Phillipino bakery has not let me down. Everything I have eaten here has made me want to come back for more. You won't be disappointed.”
“Great food, ingredients and flavor. Very clean, comfortable, family friendly establishment. Great place to grab a bite.”
“A nice mom n pop shop in the middle of Santa Ana. Admittedly, I wasn’t expecting much. I ordered a double smash, fries and a spam musubi. The fries… I didn’t hate them. But I didn’t love them either. I prefer my fries a little stiffer. The spam musubi was good. It’s kinda hard to screw up spam musubi tho. The smash burger… as you can see, it’s not much to look at but the flavor, it was amazing. It was soft and juicy. What a smash burger is supposed to be. I will be coming back to try their other offerings.”
“They were very responsive to emails. I first filled out web inquiry and got a reply on the same day. They were booked for tasting appointment very fast so make sure you contact them early as they only have appointments available during the week Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays between 1pm and 6pm. Saturdays from 9am-4pm. The tasting appointment was an hour long and it's FREE!!! Some other places I looked at will charge you for tasting and even though the tasting charge might be deducted from final order, it made me feel much better when there was no cost to start with as wedding was already expensive. The place was a little bit hard to find since it was office-like looking from outside and I thought it was bakery-like. They have parking lot. My husband and I tried so many different favors of cake and they were so delicious. We had a hard time deciding which ones to get because we had more than three favorite. During the appointment, they also showed you what style of cake they offered and its pricing. We went with the basic so there was no add-on cost, but they can custom-make your order if you show them pictures of what you want with additional cost (and trust me the price is fair). We ended up ordering a 3-tier ice in white buttercream cake with 12" white with mango, 9" almond with cappuccino & chocolate mousse, and 6" mocha chip with rosy mauve ribbon around tiers for 100 guests for my wedding. They emailed us a week before the wedding to confirm there was no changes and the order was correct. The cake was delivered on time and was decorated with fresh flowers my florist provided on site by the delivery staff. (If you have cake topper, you can either drop it off to the shop or have it installed on site by delivery staff. Either way, you need to let them know in advance so they can make sure your cake is structurally stable for the cake topper weight.) My wedding cake looked pretty and it tasted good. I received lots of compliment from the guests. On the side note, they would charge you more if you use American Express credit card. And you only need to pay deposit on the site but they don't have online system for you to pay the remaining online. Since we didn't have cake topper to drop off and did not want to make another trip just to pay the balance, we paid it in full the same day of tasting. This would be two suggestions for improvement, but they still deserve a 5-star for their service, the quality (taste/look), and the friendly price. Ohh and did I mention that you do receive a complimentary one year anniversary cake? That's for sure a big PLUS since my husband and I were too busy to have our own wedding cake at our wedding. We are very looking forward to our one year anniversary! All you need to do is to contact them 3 weeks prior to your one year anniversary to place the order. Give them the date of your wedding and the name the order is under and they will pull up your file and place the order. Yup it's 3 weeks, not 2 weeks. They are definitely getting busier and that's how good they are! If you are still looking for wedding cake or cake for any event, this is where I would recommend.”
“Never thought I'd like sushi but now I do!! Very delicious! Will definitely go back again soon! �”
“Food plate was hefty and the meat was great- enough to share a plate between 2 people. Sauces were wonderful to dip and try. Atmosphere was relaxed and service friendly.”
“Best Avocado toast I’ve ever had and the Lavender latte was very unique and delicious! Must try the blueberry cookie.”
“This is one the best spots in Santa Ana to grab specialty coffee. Great staff, great coffee, and great ambiance!”
“My order came with complementary mole, a small pitcher of strawberry agua fresca, chips, and salsa, which were all delicious. My burrito was really good too (and big). Considering the amount of extra food that came with our order the overall cost was much cheaper than I expected. 5/5 stars!”
“Today, at Court Food I ordered Tofu soup & BBQ beef bulgogi from CHAM I saw the man, woman cooking my order & everything looked fresh & when I started my tofu soup with vegetables, sea food & spicy it tasted so delicious another customer in there recommended the other options but I will return again special a day after drink ? to get a hot tofu soup.”
“Soooooo good. I can still get in here with no line, however, there will come a time…….when there will be a long wait!”
“Karaoke Thursday!!! Everyone there is so friendly and accommodating. I celebrated my birthday there and had the best time! Oh and we played trivia too and my team won!”
“I love ChapterOne! Great spot for lunch, brunch and dinner! The food has great flavor and consistent quality. The staff provides exceptional service.

“Definitely the chicken. I like the choices of sides too. I have to try the rest. I hope we get one in our area, Cypress or Cerritos.”
“A Delightful Afghan feast! We recently visited a local gem and tried the Qabili Palau and Kabab combo. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful, each bite offering a rich taste of Afghan cuisine. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, with plenty of seating to accommodate diners comfortably. It was a delightful dining experience, and we can't wait to return for more. Highly recommended!”
“Always love coming out West from the East coast and making our first stop to In-N-Out Burger!”
“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.”
“I never really leave reviews, but wanted to leave one today after my visit, I came in to grab some lunch and as soon as l entered I was amazed by how clean the location was inside, and the staff was really friendly and they took my order and I got my food within a couple minutes, and the food tasted awesome, and the manager was very attentive by taking out trash and wiping the tables, and he asked if we were doing alright or if we needed anything. I've never been to a place this well managed.”
“tacos lengua. I live .01 ml from this joint. first time. will return. uber clean. I am a sushi/sanitation expert with 30 yrs in the field. these folk get an A+”
“The workers are very nice to me and welcoming. but the food can be hit or miss, the chilli dogs are a classic but do not get the burgers, the burgers are as plain as paper, so are the fries. Also, the shakes are good and the ice cream.”
“I have been going here for years, usually once a week. Customer service is good, nothing spectacular though, everyone's pretty friendly and attentive. It's one of the few places left in Santa Ana where you can go and have a burger and fries almost street side, I will warn you that there's only 2 or 3 tables, outside dining only, very small space. We always like to sit and watch cars and people go by.My family and I love their big steak cut fries, they're always hot, fresh and made to order. Plus, they aren't too much $$. They serve them individually, each in their own paper bag, packed with extra salt packets, napkins and plenty of ketchup packets. Worth the price, in my opinion. The burgers are good too but I suggest you don't go too late in the day, bcuz they're not so fresh once the sun goes down. Unfortunately this has been my experience, recently. I did call and complain about getting old cold, rubbery patties that were so chewy that my little boys couldn't eat them, and they promised to replace them (they have a little book to write down customer complaints, and stuff they promised to replace along with customers name and number, date of Purchase, ect.) but when my husband showed up a week later to get the burgers replaced, the guy who was working there, (also the same guy who we spoke to on the phone and promised to replace those nasty burgers), says that we took too long to get them and he removed the offer from the book!! (Short little Mexican dude) Sorry I don't remember his name anymore. Really guys??? Really Bad business!! This recently happened to us twice, since then we ask, in advance that our patties are made fresh, to avoid this from happening again. If you have an issue with cold hard food and you don't have money to just throw away, I suggest you check your food before you leave, ask for freshly made patties or just don't go too late in the day guys or you're likely to receive warming drawer meat, that's been there for a long time!! Oh also, I sometimes order grilled cheese for my kids but the way they make them is terrible! They were like warm cheese sandwiches, no buttery golden bread or melted cheese. They were nasty, I had to ask for them to be custom made, extra toasted and please butter the bread. After they made it my way, it was perfect! Hope it helps someone out there! This has only been my experience recently, for the most part, they do pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to read my post guys!!!
Vegetarian options: Grilled cheeseSaladsFrench Fries
Parking: The restaurant sits right in the center of a big parking lot.
Kid-friendliness: They have lots of kid friendly foods.If you have little ones you might want to keep them seated close to you, or in their stroller or car seat since the tables are right next to the parking lot and the sidewalk and street is very close to their tables.”
“Could be the perfect place to eat, but there is something wrong with the location; I won't say anything else, find out by yourself. The food is delicious though. It is cooked in the spot, worth the wait. Next time I'll make sure to leave a tip for the chef.”
“Got one of their iced drinks, (highest caffeine drink they offer.) Great price, even better customer service. Will def be back. Highly recommend for a better alternative to Starbucks.”
“Cute little spot with great food. Get the garlic noods.”

“The coffee: fire
The pastries: delicious
The atmosphere: impeccable
The playlists: bangers
The customer service? Goes above and beyond
I’ve been going to Cafe Cito for a while now and all I gotta say really is that it’s some of the best coffee in Orange County. Not only that, but the atmosphere is great. I remember walking in and they were playing the band her’s and then the following day they had the Persona 5 soundtrack. You can’t beat the service there either. I once tripped and fell and one of the barista’s saw that and she offered me a drink on the house. Like, who does that?? Cafe Cito.”
“Best food ever. They make the best beans and the best guacamole.”
“Best TJ tacos in OC! Their adobada and mushroom tacos are delicious! Their carne asada has a great Smokey flavor. And their agua fresca are legit. I highly recommend this place!”
“Above my expectations.Place is sanitary with an open kitchen (which is a must for boba shops!)Boba tea has strong potent tea flavor. Boba is chewy and fresh.Egg tart is freshly baked, and not too sweet, which I appreciate.Service is great.Relaxing environment. No tacky loud music, which I also appreciate.”
“What a pleasant surprise to find this little place tucked in the Santa Ana/Tustin area on Glassell and Fairhaven in the Big Lots shopping strip. Bangkok Taste is small eatery, would probably seat about 30 people but the flavors are pretty big. We didn't have a large supper because we were on our way to a party where there would be more food. But we couldn't eat at the party because we were so full from a plate each pad see ew pork and chicken, angel wings, massaman curry, rice and mango sticky rice to finish it off. What a feast! Plenty leftover for today's lunch. The only thing we didn't finish was the mango sticky rice. The coconut milk was a bit watery, almost no flavor which was a contrast to the absolutely heavenly coconut massaman curry. We don't live in the area but we visit a few times a month so we'll be back and take our time. Friendly and prompt service, great first experience, clean tables and chairs. Loved it!
Parking: It's a strip mall and they're three doors down from Big Lots so there's plenty of parking if you can't find anything directly in front of the eatery.”
“I wanted some Japanese comfort food and this Orange Grill is the spot! I had their chicken teriyaki and vegetable bowl and the veggies were fresh and perfectly steamed. The portion was just right for someone with an appetite. The teriyaki chicken tasted very authentic and like a home cooked meal. I hope to come back again.”
“Best churros ever! Always fresh to order. Perfect crispness and just the right amount of sugar n cinnamon. Their atole de elote is so tasty too and they go perfect with the churros. Can’t forget their dipping sauce which are Lechera, chocolate, and cajeta. So yummy! Oh and their platano frito with Lechera drizzled on top, omg they are awesome! The bunelos are a great size and super yummy. They also have on the weekends sometimes tres leches or arroz con leche in a little cup that are excellent. So many options here. The best of the best!!!”
“This place is outstanding!! We got dinner here and didnt know what to expect. It was fire! Way better then expected. Unique and fresh take.”
“Esta reseña no le hace justicia a la calidad de la comida, la calidez de la gente, el sabor mexicano que se siente en cada uno de sus platillos. Sin duda, es una joya en Santa Ana la cual vale todita la espera. Ángela es muy atenta y amable. Gracias por hacer de mi primera vez en las brisas, una gran experiencia.”
“this place is AMAZING!! the staff there are very friendly. they are very quick & their food & drinks are amazing. the only thing i would have to complain about are the times. there are some days when the coffee shop closes too early. besides the hours, this place is highly recommend.”
“I had the shrimp and roasted corn chowder. MY goodness gracious that was the best soup ever! I expected salad shrimp, and those shrimp were huge and plentiful and the spice was a welcomed perk! Besssstest soup ever!”
“Great local find and glad to support a small traditional bakery. Will order ahead next time, was pleased to get the last boule today (a Saturday) just 15 or 20 minutes after they opened.”
“The food was excellent, as was the service.
Parking: Had no problem finding parking.
Kid-friendliness: It's a family restaurant.
Wheelchair accessibility: ADA parking is available at the restaurant.”
“Esta muy rica la comida la recomiendo lo único que tardan mucho tiempo en servirte y se les olvida lo que les encargas no te lo llevan y pues no te preguntan si necesitas algo más”
“Have tried pick-up several times, this is the first time dine in.
Signature Eel Bento: 9/10, definitely try it out if you love eel dishes.
Deluxe Comb Bento: 9/10, include all kind of roll and sushi + eel don. A must try.”
“Have been a few times for dinner in years past but came by with my husband for lunch on a Saturday after opening. They changed the way they do lunch a bit but it ended up working perfectly: we had their hand sushi special. The waitress who helped us was so graceful and kind, and our food came out quickly. Everything was wonderful and tasted fresh. My husband is a notoriously picky eater but loved everything we had.”
“We loved the decorations, it really felt like you were south of the border. Great food and service and all the staff was really friendly.”
“Love this place. The people are wonderful that work here, the food is delicious, drinks are awesome, and the vibe is always upbeat and fun”
“The brunch here is awesome. The servers are all very friendly and the champagne is flowing! They came by several times, we weren't able to drink as fast as they were serving it. The waffle station was delicious and tons of options inside: taco station, desserts, salad, pastas, soup.... If you like brunch, champagne, and Mexican food, this place is for you!”
“DTTN 2.0 is a membership only dining experience that really showcases how a business model like this can be successful. Our membership level is $100 a month which is applied toward your dining bill. Considering that you can’t get out of a fast food joint these days for under $50 it seems, it’s a no brainer to us. It also is a good motivation to get out for a date night once a month! Don’t get me wrong, we weren’t sure about the idea of a membership based restaurant but once we gave it a try as guests of other members we were blown away by the experience.So now that we’ve covered the membership aspect, let’s talk food and drinks. We usually start at the bar with cocktails and great conversation with the bartenders who are true mixologists. Most of the time when you tell a bartender, “Surprise me!”, they are less than thrilled and you end up with something less than desirable. Not here. For these guys that phrase is a fun challenge and they will deep dive into your various drink likes and dislikes to custom craft a cocktail that will satisfy!Dinner service is always amazing. You have top tier service from the entire staff who will guide you through selecting an array of dishes. Food is shareable sizes and there’s always something new and exciting. Boredom isn’t possible here. Bring a couple friends and order one of everything on the menu. It’s worth it.Come to think of it…it’s time to make another monthly visit!”
“When I first tried this place, I came back several times because the food was simple, authentic,”
“The food was awesome, very unique & delicious! Our Server was very friendly and efficient!”
“This is one of those neighborhood places that locals don’t want anyone else to find out about! Authentic Mexican food and excellent service. If I lived closer, I would definitely be a regular.”
“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.”
“My wife and I are on holidays in California. We stopped in at Cali Licious Crab by fluke and enjoyed the best Cajun Shrimp meal ever. We will absolutely be returning. The service was amazing. Sydney was so friendly and informative. Highly recommend!!!”
