    i see a lot of good reviews for El Forastero, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon, potatoes, eggs, and cheese. I was the only one in the restaurant when I placed my order. After placing my order, I walked to my vehicle to get my phone, which took less than 2 minutes. When I entered the restaurant again, my order was ready. What! I suspect that my burrito was already made and heated in a microwave oven. The burrito was light on the bacon and cheese, but taste-wise, it was absolutely a 4. In a pinch, I will definitely stop by and order other menu items. The place was spotless, I interacted with a cheerful employee, a few parking spaces. $$.

    They offer drive through but we opted to eat in for some breakfast burrito. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in. They have an extensive Mexican food menu. Tables were clean and there was plenty of seating. I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito and bacon breakfast burrito. Comes with eggs, potatoes fries, and melted cheese inside. It was really good and a good size for $10.45 each. It's definitely shareable. The offer a complimentary chip station and salsa bar. Salsas were good! We also got a large pineapple drink and it was really refreshing. It wasn't overly sweet. The employee was very nice, helpful, and made me feel welcomed. Great service!

    Very impressed with the Quesabirria! It's was packed with flavor and so yummy! The restaurant itself was very clean inside and the customer service was wonderful!

    The food was absolutely the best I've had in a long time. Noteworthy mention is the Carne asada fries. The portion was large and amazing for the price. The fries tasted fresh and crunchy. The asada was flavorful and over great. The service was beyond excellent, I'd like to mention Yanette (apologies if I spelled it wrong). She was extremely kind and attentive and very patient with my elderly parents. Amazing personality and made the experience notable.The interior was clean, quiet and friendly.

    Here again and lovin' it. Heading to the Generator and EF is in the neighborhood. Anytime we are close we stop in. Tonight was giant burrito, cheese enchilada, beans and rice for me. Relleno, beans, rice and fabulous homemade flour tortillas for her. Don't forget the salsa bar and free chips. Drive through open 24 hours. Dine in or take away. Awesome again

    Talk about a loaded hotdog! It was covered in chips, bacon, jalepeno, mayo, mustard, onions... I mean everything! It was super tasty and filling! Staff was super nice, restaurant was clean and offered a small chip and salsa station. Definitely a must try if you're wanting something fast and inexpensive.

    On the way to the tipsy bar I drove by El Forastero, and after thinking of an easy food spot this place came to mind for a quick grab of food to bring back to the bar for another round. I ordered the Carnitas torta which is typically one of my go tos for a dish. The drive through had colorful pictures, great prices, and even yummy sounding desserts. The torta was the size of my forearm, and the combination of meat with all the toppings was one of the best tortas I have eaten in a long time. It's so much food that it could easily go for 2-3 meals. The price was about $10 so definitely reasonable. I would love to come back to try other food items in the future.

What we ordered : 30 piece chicken nuggets Two large waffle fries The chicken nuggets were really good. Actually real chicken breaded and fried fresh. The waffle for fries, I forgot how good they were. As french fries go there one of the best tasting. Really good potato flavor. I think the barbecue sauce recipe must've changed . Just wasn't that enjoyable. The Chick-fil-A sauce is sort of like a fry sauce with honey mustard. It was better than the barbecue sauce. You can use the mobile system to order your food and then when you drive up, there's a mobile order lane that you scan and it made it much quicker . People were polite and friendly.

No joke--three different people asked how I was doing and if I needed anything, which made the whole visit feel very welcoming and well-run. You can tell customer service is a priority here. The food was just as good as the service. The fries were hot, fresh, and delicious, and they were very generous with the sauce (which is always a win). I ordered a salad with chicken and it was honestly so good--fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked chicken, and really satisfying overall. Between the excellent service, quick turnaround, and consistently great food, this location absolutely delivered. I'll definitely be back!

I know where the place is but have never been there. Truthfully, I was reluctant to go there because it seems like every time I drive by there the place is empty. What the heck, I am hungry and it is convenient. I was the only customer in the place! I order a street taco combo plate which consisted of 2 "carnitas" tacos and one of "el pastor". I poured 2 small "salsa" containers, one green and one red. My plate also contained refried beans and rice. Wow, I was in for a treat. Some of the best chubby, little tortillas, over-stuffed tacos with well prepared meats, onions and cilantro. Outrageously delicious! I was amazed that the beans and rice were also very flavorful. The green "salsa" was a big hit with me - flavorful and spicy. If the other menu items are a as good, I have missed out on a great spot. Definitely going back to try other menu items..

I traveled the USA and Canada for many years playing Sax with lots of bands (www.RickMetz.com) and the only choice I had was wherever the band vehicle stopped. Usually, we were under time constraints and we got the quickest thing available. I never liked it... But, if there was a little extra time available, I'd try to find a "real" restaurant in the vicinity to eat at. Didn't happen as often as I would've liked, but I made do. I've tried multitudes of fast food places because of those circumstances...nothing was really to my liking...especially the "major" fast food chains...you know which ones I'm referring to. Then I tried In N Out while touring through California!! OMG! I loved it! Smiling, friendly employees, clean establishments, great customer service...and still fast. (Pro tip: if the drive thru is jam packed? Park and go inside) Always made fresh and to order... Once I learned the "secret menu", that was the kicker for me! (https://www.in-n-out.com/menu/not-so-secret-menu) To be able to customize my burger in any way I wanted it at a "fast food" restaurant? Blew my mind! This is the ONLY "fast food" that I'll seek out... There's lots of debate as to their fries and their shakes. I like the shakes, but only get one once in a while...not a fan of the fries...but, I don't eat a lot of fries anyway... My go to? 2x3, Animal style, no pickles, no tomatoes, add hot peppers. Always delicious! Even though the price has increased over the years, I still feel that it's well worth it. You should try it to see what YOU think!

The owner of Ruby Shake Shop routinely parks his Audi in the limited public street parking spaces along South Virginia Street directly in front of Raising Cane's, Ike's Love & Sandwiches, and the surrounding businesses. Anyone familiar with this area knows parking can already be difficult, especially during peak hours when people are trying to grab lunch, pick up an order, or make a quick stop. What makes this particularly frustrating is that these spaces appear to be occupied for extended periods of time, often throughout the day, by someone who owns and operates a nearby business. Public street parking in a busy commercial corridor is a shared resource intended to serve customers and visitors, not to function as a personal parking space for a single business owner. This review is not a reflection of the products or service at Ruby Shake Shop. It is simply feedback regarding what appears to be an extremely inconsiderate use of limited public parking in an area where parking availability already impacts customers and neighboring businesses.

There is typically a white creamy sauce on the shrimp and the garnishes included are mild to medium to complement the shrimp, not overpower it. The corn shell did not had the signature dusting on the exterior, but it had to be sought out versus being easily viewed as typically received. The exterior of this Jimboy's in heavily uncared for, is run down in appearance and does not reflect the exterior of a single Jimboy's I have ever frequented. My husband asked if we were in the right place! I would not recommend this location and advice to keep your money for a different establishment. Very disappointing experience and the first I have ever had at a Jimboy's with their food.

The…read morelast time I visited this location was somewhere between 3-5 years ago, and enough has changed to write about it. Food: And this time, it seems that the the Cane's sauce containers have gotten smaller, which really hurts! It sucks when companies charge the same price but decrease the portion sizes. It gets on my nerves a bit more than I'd like to admit. The chicken itself had little flavor, but when dipped in the Cane's sauce, offered the salty and delicious flavor that I remember. Good crisp, and cooked well. Cooked all the way through without being dry. The side fixings were delightful. Texas toast, coleslaw, and fries made up most of our plate. The Texas toast is crispy, buttery, and warm, everything I could ask for really. The fries served here are your traditional crinkle cut. It's not my favorite style of fry, although I appreciate how thinly they're cut, so they get a more even cook. Of course I paired it all with a side of sweet tea. It's as tasty as I remember it being, and the ice is the small and rounded shapes that make it really fun to drink from. Service: We were helped pretty quickly, and able to find a quiet corner of the indoor seating despite it being a busy lunch time around 1 pm on a Friday. At times, it was a bit too busy for my liking around the service counter waiting for our food. Otherwise, we enjoyed our table and hung around for a little bit after finishing our meal. If I'm going out for some chicken tenders nowadays, I think I would rather support local and go to somewhere like Crazy D's. I like the crispiness of their chicken better as well as the flavor. At Cane's, I appreciate the quantity and quality you get for the price, but I'd rather pay more or the same for a better quality chicken tendy!

They were just waiting on the toast. Few moments later the food went to the trash as the other person didnt see the ticket and assumed it was excess from the large varering order. Not sure how she confused that as catering orders are in different containers. When he saw that he told her was that my order. She apologized and he showed her the app order. As the app doesn't show if you upgrade the drinks they have us the normal size drinks. She did give some extra sauce. Hence the second star in this review. For overall the food quality is always consistent. We love the chicken and the canes sauce. I love the tea and always upgrade if we order pickup. We waited another 15 to 20 minutes. As of course this was dying the canes rush hour. The waiting and service confusion is the reason. Why they get a low score. The food and other members are most likely fine. I understand there was another order, but next time confirm with your team before scrapping food and the ticket. Im still confused on the entire incident. Can't do anything about it. Also if you have a complaint. The email receipt says to complain to the store that serviced you. I dont see how they can help if they lost our ticket order. How can you trust it. So if you want canes. Don't order ahead. Just go in person. Some reason you dont have order issues. If you do, typically someone corrects it. I thi k she was trying her best. Just frustrating. Still go and support. They are an awesome team. There are just some off days. We will still go and enjoy as long as this doesn't happen again. They seem to forget something all the time. Anotherni cident prior to this is one kiddo got a toy and the other didnt. So check your to go meals. I didnt for this instant it was my fault. We were running late to the kids school lunch day eith family. I had a meeting go a little over and needed to make sure we made it within the window. Luckily. Our little.one didn't get jealous the other one got a toy. Also its super busy here and gets loud on Fridays and the weekends. The cars also wrap around the parking lot. So dont park closest to the building. You may never get out.
