Usually I tip 20% but when places automatically add 18%, I don't tip extra when places auto tip. They also included a tip line even tho they added an auto tip lol, not falling for that trick.“

I know the owner told me the girls name but im going to spell it wrong but Andrea thank you for being pleasant. I noticed there was no more salsa out and asked her if there wasn't any i wouldn't buy that night and I'll come back another day because i knew they were closing and i know the hustle and bustle of that. Usually ppl say no and go about what they were doing but not her she looked in the back, front and said i have some gave me a cup and i was on my way. Everytime i have come to this location i get greeted and there is no hesitation to give great service. Thank you guys!!!“

“I had a meeting earlier in the day and didn't have lunch, so I was looking for something good to eat when I saw Fandango Mexican Grill. I was amazed at the beautiful decor of Mexican art. I was promptly greeted by a very friendly welcoming waitress. Everything on the menu looked great and I had a hard time selecting something, so I asked my waitress to recommend something. She recommended the Carne Asada Burrito. I ordered that and was not disappointed. The burrito was enormous, full of well seasoned steak, cheese and rice. It was so good. I would definitely Fandango Mexican Grill. ?“

I was kinda of leaning towards a bowl, but after hearing all the taco goodness I grabbed a Cajun shrimp taco to hold me over till later.Turns out the guy I was chatting with was the owner, Todd. Really great to interact with him, super passionate about this place.Service was fast, taco was $6ish, and it was really tasty. I should've grabbed a deal for three, but I'll be back to eat more another day. You should too!“

The star of the show, though, is the guacamole. It's made with fresh avocados, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes, and it's absolutely delicious.The whole meal is incredibly flavorful, and it's a great option for vegetarians or anyone looking for a lighter meal. I highly recommend it! Wonderful service every time i order“

“Found this lil gem on Yelp, then DoorDash, while searching for highly rated tres golpes (Dominican breakfast) in the area. This place had some lovely reviews, so I figured I'd order for the first time. I was a few days too early since tres golpes is served on weekends, so I opted for a veggie burrito and a BEC on a croissant. In the order notes, I asked for extra aguacate (avocado) for some extra energy. LET ME TELL YOU. DELICIOUS. I AM HEALED. And I'm v v picky about how my bacon is done and it was PERFECT, the eggs were so fluffy, nothing was dry. I also got a vanilla coffee with oat milk that is literally perfectly sweetened. Made my morning! Def adding to my takeout rotation. And I'm looking forward to the mangu this weekend“

“If u want budgeted Empire Szechuan type food this is ur best option on port richmond ave. Ordered the sesame chicken/boneless rib combo with pork fried rice (instead on the pork lo mein) and a order of pan fried pork dumplings. Dumplings were cheap but way better than I had on the ave. Boneless ribs actually had meat on them. Chicken was oversauced and sweet but ok. I remember a time when it was either No 1 or Didi. Now the question has been definitively answered.“

“My family and I were in the mood for Mexican and I happened to find good reviews on Yelp for Freppe's! There is parking in the rear of the restaurant, we walked in through the back and were seated right away. Cute little place looks family ran and operated with a party room upstairs. We started with the sampler appetizer and glad we did. It was so good and enough for the of us 4, it had wings, flautas, wings, & cheese quesadilla. My husband and I shared the Mocajete AMAZING!! Never had veggies mixed in the Mocajete, but to be honest it is a great addition. Portion is huge we both had lunch for the next day! My boys had the Birria tacos and chipotle creamy chicken and shrimp they were very happy with their choices. The only thing that was a little disappointing is the wait staff is more like teenagers so not very attentive; however, for the quality and flavor of the food I'll deal with it. If in the mood for some authentic Mexican cuisine you need to come here!!!!“

“This place has DELICIOUS food! Their wings and the chips/guacamole are my favorites. They make a mean frozen margarita, too. The decor is funky and fun and every server I’ve had has been friendly and helpful. My one complaint? The music, which I also love, is played at a volume more suited to a bar. It’s SO loud that our servers have to shout their questions and you can’t comfortably hold a conversation with your table mates. I have no idea why they’d set the volume so high in a place where people are eating and talking. It kind of ruins an otherwise fantastic experience.“

“I’m a huge fan of Moe’s regardless but this location is the best one I’ve been to by far. The employees are very pleasant and the food is always fresh. I love how they cook the tofu right on the spot as a way for it to be fresh for the customers instead of having it sitting out for some time (since it begins to dry up when it sits out). I normally purchase their stacks (formerly known as wrong Doug’s) and their rice bowls. Their queso is by far the best in any Mexican fast food location along with their chips and salsa (that’s included in every order for free!) I highly recommend Moes Southwest Grill to anyone who wants the best quality Mexican-American fast food chain. A++“
