“Sneaky great takeout place. Big portions. Nice menu. Serious eats. People say SoCal Mexican style, but I have no idea. Food is gooood. Salsa bar has some pizzazz. Don't eat in, though. Place reeks of surface cleaner. Good to know they clean but a bit much. They need to get serious and open up a legit restaurant. They would rake.“
“Nice little spot tucked away here! Price and food portions were fantastic. I'd really like to see this place do well and continue to grow. I feel like these spots are the hidden gems of our community.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly environment for kids“
“My buddy and I came in based off other Google reviews and were not disappointed. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. The owner took care of us and she was fantastic. The conversation was great and the service was great. I mentioned carne guisada and she said she could make it even though it’s not on the menu. It was the best I’ve ever had, hands down. My buddy got the entree served in a pineapple. We both tried each others dish and his was incredible as well. I can’t forget the guac either, it was fresh and delicious. 10/10 recommend this place.“
“I had some business nearby and was absolutely starving afterwards, so I did what I do and found the nearest Taco Casa. Straight to the drive-thru. The food here is reliably delicious and always served very hot. I never mind almost burning my mouth on the frijoles because I prefer my hot food extra hot. Especially fast food that's gotta last through a drive home. I actually ate one of my crunchy tacos on my drive because I couldn't wait, and that first bite was joyous. Then I got home and my 2 year old happily ate most of what I'd bought.. We're big Taco Casa fans in this house“
“It's casual fast food, but the food is a step above what you're used to getting from a restaurant with a drive-thru. My family loves the family platter to share. Fresh made tortillas are good, but by far, my favorite thing on their menu is the carrot cake.“
“Brisket tacos are the best but what about brisket that has been marinated in Modelo? ? Tacos are a staple in our diet and we love trying new varieties anytime we get the chance. Simple ingredients done well; brisket, cheese, avocado, and pico! It's a must try along with the queso. Don't think it's your boring run of the mill queso. The queso at Baja has so much going on; from the meat to the guacamole to the melted cheese. It's a must try! If you even have room after the phenomenal salsa and chips before you even order.“
“I had an exceptional experience at Pollo Loco, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Allie at pollo loco at 377. She was so friendly demeanor and efficiency made my visit enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure my order was accurate and tailored to my preferences. I highly commend her dedication to customer satisfaction, making my time at Pollo Loco truly delightful.“
“so good. 10/10 recommend!!! They offer drinks and an array of meats, with amazing salsa red and green. It's a cute date spot to chill and eat tacos in your car together. The service is great, they speak English and Spanish, and are always so fast with your food.“
“This is so easy, call ahead and pickup usally a line during lunch everything has always been great. We had gorditas today I choose Chicarron, and Nopales with mild salsa which leaves you tingling a bit. Good Food, Good people. Can't go wrong.“
“Candace was our server & was personable & efficient! Party of 4 w/3 loving our food & drinks. Hubby got the chimichanga, it was huge & he loved it?‼️Restaurant was not busy @ dinner time which allowed for talking. We’d go back✅“
