Today was the last time, I keep giving them chances, but now I’m done. And I don’t even know if this is worth it, I doubt they read these.
I ordered a Burrito Bowl. What I always get. The first thing they ask is “would you like a Tortilla in it?” Today, she didn’t bother to ask so I told her, she ignored me. A tiny scoop of rice, small scoop of chicken, some cheese and a mound of Chili…$20.00!!
Are you kidding me?
The online Menu says $13.95!
It was to go, no napkins.
Three years ago I ate here and got so SICK I almost called for an ambulance, but after not going for three years I started going back. Every time I go, the food is fine but the price keeps creeping up. I get it, inflation, but $20.00 for close to nothing? And not even the listed menu price?
Never going back, I’m done and I’ll be sure to tell my colleagues, there are other Mexican options in town.

I’m putting a star for the good food. Honestly I wish there was another location to go to because every time I go in and order food the man putting my food together always has this look as if I’m bothering him and is short with his responses. Today was really the straw that tipped the camels back for me , when I asked him what kind of sauces they had (since they aren’t labeled ) he looked at his coworker and shook his head.

The food at Tomatillo Taco Joint is always packed with flavor, and this visit was no exception. The space is clean, spacious, and inviting, with great service to match. There’s some parking available outside, though it can be a bit tricky during peak times.
The Food:
I ordered the Chorizo Quesadilla—it was very good, cooked fresh to order, and served hot. It was a little greasy, but hey, that’s just chorizo being chorizo. My daughter had a Steak Bowl, loaded with her favorite toppings, and she couldn’t stop raving about it. She even said it was the best one she’s had! Both dishes were seasoned perfectly and full of delicious flavor.
The Only Downside:
As longtime Tomatillo fans, we’ve noticed the portion sizes have gotten significantly smaller compared to years past, even though the prices have stayed about the same. That being said, the quality remains consistently high, so we really can’t complain too much.
Overall:
Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely keep coming back!

Terrible service! I don't recommend this place. I left the place without eating anything! Very bad attitude from the employee on duty, I arrived around 6pm (Sunday January 14, 2023) and before greeting me she saw her wristwatch, turned her back on me and returned to the kitchen! There were no other diners, the place was empty! Being hungry I wanted to give it another chance, however when I was about to choose, I didn't even have time to review the menu, with a very bad face I pursed my mouth and with that offensive attitude I decided to leave the place without eating anything.
To the owners of the place, imagine how many customers they lose with attitudes like that of this employee? All clients are important, our money is worth the same! What a shame that there are people like this providing a terrible service that harms everyone in the company because it is a production chain. I hope someone reads and listens to my complaint. I just wanted to enjoy a delicious dinner and it backfired, I had to order an Uber to go to another Mexican food restaurant in the same area.
My go to spot. Food is really good.
