50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Toluca Lake

“I love this place! I’ve been coming here for 20 years and have ordered the wonderful Chicken Burrito Ultimo at almost every visit (Sometimes I go for the shrimp!– Just as delicious). The quality is always the same and has never changed!“

“I have mixed feelings of calling this place overpriced, but I think it is overpriced.

Because if you only get a bowl of rice and one single dish, you can maybe walk out with spending only $10-15 for a meal, which is decent. But if you start even thinking about trying a few more dishes out you are easily going to spend $20 or even $30 for robot-made Chinese food (The food is, in fact, very good.)

But I feel the financial benefit of reducing labor cost by partially replacing human labor with machines, is not brought down to the consumers as much. At least that’s how I felt after paying $30 for a rice bowl and three small side dishes.

Oh, they do give you sturdy plastic cutlery and a nice bag if you decide to take your food home!“

“Food was amazing! It’s worth the price you pay for. Serving is big and it’s made-to-order, so you know it’s made fresh. And the owner was super nice.

We ordered Pork Shawarma Wrap Combo (with fries & drink), and Chicken Shawarma Wrap.“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“I have been going to Al & Bea’s for over 40+ years. Has not changed“

“🤤🤤🤤🤤😱😱😱 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. ❤️“

“Very good food, authentic French tacos !“

“This is my go to place any time I come to UCLA for medical stuff. The food is excellent quality - flavorful and fresh. Staff has always been helpful and the service is usually quick. Parking is not great, so I will usually walk from the medical center. I've brought several family members with me and they have all loved it too. Highly recommend!“

“The best food in Cali 👌👍 👌“

“Sunday nights. 4am. I’m hungry and tired. I come here after work and who am I greeted by? The friendliest, happiest dude ever. I don’t know his name but he’s Latino and he legit is super friendly and helpful. That guy deserves a raise, or a gold medal or something. I have no idea how he keeps himself so happy but whatever it is, he’s awesome. I wish I knew his name. The food is always warm and decently fresh tasting, I only eat fast food after work if I’m starving but when I do eat it, I make sure to come to this dude. I hope all his wishes come true. I salute you friendly neighborhood burger Latino man.“

“Great burritos and they do have beer on tap“

“Ricas hamburguesas 😋y las papa tambien“

“This evening I stopped by the drive-thru to pick up a combo. I was helped by a guy named Ibin, and I believe he’s a perfect example of how customer communication should be. He instantly lifts your mood. Overall, the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. The food is tasty, and everything is served quickly — it’s a place you want to come back to.“

“Drive through was fast. Lady didn't know it was me after I confirmed my online order 30 seconds after she verified it was my mobile order. Guess she wanted ot make sure I was the correct customer even if i was the only one there. What can i say Fast food good service. I'm excited to see how it'll go next time I go.“

“Good food. Dined indoors with my friends.“

“Always delicious and been since my childhood!!!“

“We ate well. The burgers are good and tasty the fries fine but also good.\nWe took the cheapest burgers in "Double" version. The simple must be really small... A double is spotless.\nThe drinks are unlimited and accessible. Don't forget to ask for the sauces and the code to go to the bathroom. \nHowever, the music is so loud that we don’t hang out because we have to speak too loudly. It's pretty painful after a while. We think this is the goal so that customers do not settle too long 🤭“

“This use to be one of my favorite locations. The service is fast, and the cashiers are always nice and professional. It’s also a very safe location but not a lot of places to eat outside like other locations. Overall it’s still a good clear restaurant with fresh food.“

“Great burger, like always. Mobile Order but I are it there, why is that not an option in the app? I like ordering in the phone, no mistakes and no line. I have my credit card saved so I don't even have to pay. Walk in and say my name and mobile Order. Simple and fast.“

“Look, I could be an ass if I choose to be so… But I’m not going to… All I’m going to say is that everyone I’ve come here before the last visit, I’ve had pretty much a good experience…But, the last time we went, I placed an online order and they apparently didn’t have ANY desserts… Which I guess was fine, it happens… But what wasn’t right was there the clown manning the register basically gave no you know what’s and offered no kind of substitution for it… His demeanor was just like “So we don’t have the dessert or any desserts for that matter and so even though you paid for it, because it’s an online order, I’m not going to offer or give you anything as a substitution”… So that was very off putting and kind of made me not want to go back to this location all because of one little incident where things were out if my hands as a guest, but apparently out of his hands because it was an online order… Maybe I’m wrong… But I really didn’t appreciate that all I got was a sorry all because it was an online order…

Never in my life have I ordered online and they were out of something that I ordered and not offered any kind of substitution… So because of this, and the person who saw no solution seeing as I paid in full for a product and only received a portion of what I paid for…“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“This little place rocks, great food!!!“

“Very Clean and the staff are all very respectful.“

“Alimentos sabrosos y atención rápida“

“Had the California Double Cheeseburger combo. Was under nine dollars and the burger tasted great, just the silver dollar sized patties inside of a bun 3/4 of an inch bigger all the way around makes you feel ripped off. When I dine in, which I did, I try to pick the best deal. They changed the whole menu in the place now. There is no value at Carl's now either. Started with them before the inflation. The 2 for 5 everywhere else gets was 2 for 5.99 and in very small print on the sign. Just an example. Carl's Jr. Always used to have something cheap. Now the best you can get there is the big carl and the California double. Combos both under 10 bucks. Both with small drink and fries. The rest of the menu..pffft. Can go sit in a restaurant like olive garden and eat unlimited soup and salad cheaper. Carl's did away with green burrito. The salad bar. The 99 cent famous star. And the staff. Took 25 minutes to get our food. They need something on that menu thats cheap. The 2 for 6 they advertise on TV. I havent checked but ill bet its two for 6.99 here. Silver dollar size chicken patty and hamburger patty. They both used to be in the number 13 combo. Under 9 bucks. Also had a cookie. No value anymore. Had a shake afterwards. 2 for 7.99. Can buy a half gallon of ice cream and make 6 shakes the size of the 2 I got for 2.99.“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“Hadn’t been here in a while, but I had some business at the auto one across the lot, so I stopped. You don’t usually expect service with a smile these days, and it makes sense given how brutal it can be working for a corporation. That being said my server Valerie was all smiles, and helped me pick something off the menu. Good hire guys, make sure you keep this one.“

“I absolutely love Toni Khachapuri! I’ve eaten here many times — it’s always delicious, fast, and super affordable. The khachapuri are just incredible, truly comfort food at its best. Perfect spot for a quick bite or a filling meal. My only small suggestion: please consider replacing the adjika — it slightly takes away from the overall experience. But other than that, everything is amazing. I keep coming back! ❤️“

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

“The Service: Service is very efficient. Freshly made to order. Order at the counter & the staff even hand delivered the food to all customers' tables (either dine-in or take out), super nice! The Food: Hot & Spicy burger: I "upgraded" my burger, adding some avocado & bacon! OMG! Love the sauce & the jalapeño in my burger. Onion Ring: Great batter, super crispy! Strawberry Milkshake: Very creamy and not overly sweet! Just the way I like it~ Wings: The staff highly recommended me to try their wings. Sweet & Spicy flavor! Perfect combination~ I didn't know they have breakfast menu too? I got to come back & try out their breakfast soon~ They open at 8am. Perfect to grab freshly made breakfast before work! The Parking: Street metered parking. Side streets are residential area (parking free).“

“Great food, good service, super friendly“

“Yummy food. Always our stops all the way from Chicago“

“No matter who is the cashier, the service is always excellent. And it's not just me, I see how they are with other customers. I always get the chicken burrito because I just love burritos.“

“First time trying this place out as it was only 6 mins away from my grandma’s home. Authentic filipino food right here! Pork bbq was so soft and actually had “taba” in it also I tried their dinakdakan and I really felt that I was transported back to the Philippines. That’s how good it tasted!“

“This place is hands down the best! I come here often, and my go-to order is the Nacho Fries, Nacho Chips, Quesadilla, and Tacos. Every single item is consistently delicious and packed with flavor.

The Nacho Fries are perfectly crispy and the Quesadilla is always cheesy and satisfying. If you’re looking for authentic and tasty food, this is the spot! I’m a loyal customer and will keep coming back for more. Highly recommended!“

“Very awesome upbeat cashier.
Food was great and waffle fries perfectly soft.
Only thing I didn't care for is not understanding only mens bathroom was avaible for me to use..
Will come again and like the 24 hours. Option“

“First time here and I had such a great experience! The customer service was amazing everyone was so kind and attentive. The food presentation was beautiful and everything tasted so good. They even gave me a free water and kept checking in to see if I needed anything. Definitely coming back!“

“the best Hawaiian sandwich ever!!!! it's a very long drive but worth every time“

“We were there opening day! It was great! Service was perfect and food was delicious. The gyoza's were the best, not dry, chewy, or doughy. The chicken and beef plate was perfect. Nice. clean interior. Best part? Walking distance from us. Welcome to the neighborhood!“

“Muy rico, atienden rápido y todo está muy limpio. Haaaa son muy gentiles“

“Friendly staff, super fast service, and the food was hot and fresh. Literally everything you want in a fast food experience. The order was perfect. Went again today and Tristen was very helpful and polite. The food here is always fresh, hot, and consistently delicious. Great work guys.“

“Very impressed with the service I received from Bernice today. I have tons of dietary restrictions right now and she paid extra special attention to make sure my food order didn’t include anything that would harm me. Many others would’ve negligently misled me to make the sale and gone about their day. I really appreciate knowing there are still people out there that take pride in their work, especially in the fast food industry. Thank you so so much Bernice!“

“My #1 chicken spot very delicious food the owners are super nice very respectful people i love this place my husband and I came to eat here twice and we tried the loaded fries and honey bbq wings and lemon pepper wings and OMG we left full and satisfied will definitely be coming back and becoming regulars... thank u for making delicious food that never disappoints... see u guys soon.“

“Burgers are so good. I get mine extra toasted and it just melts in my mouth. The staff is friendly. I recommend you get a table fast if you see it open!“

“Thank you 🙏🏽 for your generosity pollo campero and staff from the laboratory here at Pacifica hospital of the valley!!!“

“The place was clean but the staff was a bit rude when I tried to thank them for the food. I got a boba drink, the drink was good but the boba was kind of mushy. The corn dogs looked good though. For sure stick to corn dogs here though. But nice area.“

“Delicious. We had 3 different burgers and they didn't disappoint. it was my best burger yet.“

“Das beste Sandwich was ich in den USA gegessen hab! Nette ,schnelle Bedienung, frische Zutaten und trotzdem schnell zubereitet. Die Produkte sind geschmackliche nicht dieser gewohnte Einheitsbrei. Frisch gepresster Orangensaft und viele regionale Produkte.“

“In the city where I worked for 34 years, Gold Star was my go to. Great menu with lots of varieties. The menu covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast burritos are top shelf and the Bacon avocado cheese burger and the pastrami are winners. Very friendly atmosphere. This may sound goofy, but their soda fountain is always spot on. The soda tastes almost like it's out of the bottle. Better than the fast food places soda fountains. You won't be disappointed.“

“This store in eagle rock makes me feels like I’m back in the Philippines. The crew are friendly and nice. They go through with your order. The food is the same taste back in the Philippines. I prefer this location than anywhere else not just in California but in the entire USA. Please support this store!“
