    Carne Asada fries
    Alexander G.

    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.

    We ordered birria to go, it was delicious, a little spicy but my family enjoyed it. Staff was easy to communicate with, and friendly.

    Let's start with the fact that I don't eat fast food if I have a choice as to what I'm going to…read moreget! 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!

    Who doesn't love In-N-Out Burger?…read more I remember anytime we drove to California, we had to stop in Auburn, no matter how long the line was just to get our burger fix. It was a must every single time. Now look at us, we've got three locations in Reno, one on the way, and even one in Sparks. Back then, we paid about $7.95 for two full meals. Now it's closer to $16--and we're sharing fries and a drink That said, the quality is still fantastic for fast food, and honestly, the price is still pretty reasonable. The staff really know what they're doing too. They've got a system to keep things moving, but let's be real, it's still usually a 20-30 minute wait in the drive-thru when it's busy. I always wonder... would it be faster to go inside? Honestly, I don't think so! Whether you're inside or outside, it's worth the wait the moment you take that first bite of a freshly made burger or those hand-cut fries. And don't forget the milkshakes-lthey're so good! No photos this time... I already know your mouth is watering right now. So, what's for dinner tonight? In-N-Out!!

The prices are affordable and I look forward to returning when I'm in the area.

    My review is based solely on an ongoing parking issue and not on the quality of the products or…read moreservice. 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.

This order included two shrimp tacos for myself and steak tacos for hubby. The shrimp tacos were dry, spicy and lacked flavor. I know these tacos and how a true Jimboy's shrimp taco should taste. I have been eating Jomboy's since I was around 12 and enjoying their shrimp tacos since it was added to the menu. 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 service was absolutely terrible. I had placed an online order for lunch. The employee at Raising Cane's said we needed to come inside to fill up the 9 sodas, and that it was rude to expect them to fill up the sodas on a large order. We kept this order simple and all the sodas were the same. We told her that the line was so long, she'll have plenty of time to get them ready by the time we got to the window. It seems out of spite she filled all the cups to the tip top with ice, and I kid you not, 3 sips of soda in the cups. Also one of the meals we got only had about 10 French fries, and the Cole slaw was dry cabbage with no dressing. The services was horrible, the experience was horrible, the food and drink as a result was a disappointment. There was no customer service or consideration during this whole process, and left a bitter taste. Will not be going back any time soon to be treated like an inconvenience by the staff.
