    Diviorced Ground Beef Burrito.  Half green sauce and Half red sauce
    Elizabeth C.

    We love the family and the service we get here! Our normal staples are almost every tuesday we get; 1 Divorced Burrito, Pork Street Tacos, and Chicken Tamales! This place is located in a Shell Gas Station right off the main Yelm road! You have the ability to go inside and order or use the drive thru option too. Try them out!

    I always stop by here everytime I'm in Yelm. Rey Burrito spicy is all I need to say! Someday I will try other great looking menu items.

    OMG!!! Their burritos are humungous and very good. Two meals out of it. I'd go back again.

    Good food but getting less with time and prices going up. To much rice and beans needs more meat or chicken. So I order less now.

    Ever since the implementation of curbside during the ladder stages of COVID and vast improvements…read moreof the app this store has actually done really well. This store is not perfect and some employees really need to be pulled aside and talked to about their professionalism. Since I am an impatient person and I hate going through drivethroughs anyhow. We use curbside almost exclusively. Aside from the added convience of curbside, it is easier to have issues fixed with incorrect orders and you don't feel trapped like you do in the drive-through. The one real consistent problem I am seeing is the front counter being unattended and people in the kitchen don't pay attention to the monitors so waiting does become an issue. The other issue I have is with the fact that there is too much of a reliance on the Kiosks for orders. Those two things really are taking the service out of customer service. The one thing I can say is that the people we have dealt with have been very kind and curious (even though one of the employees reamed us after he was reamed about an order we had). All said and done, this really isn't a bad store if you just take the time to learn about how they work and who you talk to and don't. The ones who are great with customer service are the ones).

    It doesn't matter what I say nobody's fixing anything. The place is filthy. The service is subpar,…read morethere's nowhere to eat outside. Filthy so the employees sit on crates. You know around the back of the restaurant which is so unsightly make a break room inside the building, and tell some of your employees to stop smoking. I don't want to smell that when I walk in. This place has to be cleaned. Another thing, why isn't the refills on drinks? Expensive slop and a filthy restaurant to go with it.

She has you sitting there for THIRTY MINUTES. Without any interaction at the window then finally comes and takes your money. Then has you waiting another twenty minutes to give you your food... (I called before I even got to the window cause I had been waiting there just to ORDER my food, for 15 minutes haha). Black hair, with purple highlights, and a web tattoo. Not sure of her name.

The girl at the window (CeCe was the name on her hat) was busy texting on her phone next to the register and didn't take my payment for at least a solid minute after I pulled up. She did more texting while running my card, and then handed me my card and went back to texting. When she got to a good stopping point in her conversation, she put her phone back in her pocket and then wandered aimlessly around the area where they pick up our orders. She at some point came to the window and said "did I give you your drink?" And I said "nope", so she grabbed the nearby drink and handed it to me. Whatever it was, it wasn't Coke Zero. She eventually remembered what her job was and went to scoop my fries and grabbed my burger and made her way back to the window where she stuck her arm out, not even looking in the direction of the window, for me to grab the bag and then she was back to doing whatever was next. No greeting.. no "have a good day".. This location gets worse every time I go there.

    We've lived in Yelm, Washington for two years now, and we've given this place way more chances than…read moreit deserved. We've been here at least 5-6 times. The very first time, the owner was our server and the service was actually pretty good. The food was mediocre, but we figured we'd come back and give it another shot. Unfortunately, that first experience has been the exception, not the rule. We are huge wing fans and so naturally we ordered the wings. They were freezer burnt and they were the full wing the flat and the drum hooked together. We were not a fan of them. We've stopped in just for a couple of beers while waiting for our dog to get groomed next door, and even those visits have been uncomfortable. We've dealt with bartenders who were rude and completely unfriendly, and servers who seem to forget you're even there. We came here for Valentine's Day two years ago with a reservation, expecting a nice, romantic dinner. Instead, it was an absolute disaster. The staff looked completely overwhelmed, nobody seemed to know what was going on, our expense steaks were over cooked badly, we were ignored for long stretches, never offered refills, and the entire dinner was a huge disappointment. But we kept trying. Most recently, we brought two friends here because we really wanted to give it one more chance. We actually warned them not to have high expectations. Unfortunately, the service was just as bad. We were ignored, never got beer refills, and the food was terrible. Our friends left saying they never wanted to come back. Today, while waiting for our dog to be groomed, we stopped in for a couple of beers and ordered the JoJos from the happy hour menu. Six or so potato wedges that were overcooked and just not very good, with mediocre barbecue sauce and ranch. There is a new server here whom we've never had before, and honestly, she's been better than anyone we've dealt with here in the past. She's still pretty slow, but she is easily the best service we've had since that very first visit when the owner served us. And ironically, that same owner has completely ignored us every time we've been back and hasn't said a word to us since our first visit. At this point, we've tried enough times to know this isn't a one-off bad night. The service is consistently awful, the food is mediocre at best, and the prices don't match what you're getting. We genuinely try to support local businesses, which is why we kept coming back and giving this place another chance. But after six or so visits and multiple disappointing experiences, we're done. I absolutely cannot recommend this place. If you're looking for overpriced, mediocre food and consistently terrible service, this is your place! Otherwise, there are plenty of other local places that deserve your money.
