Okay so I wanted to leave a bad review because for the past week I came around 10 pm and the some…read moreworkers didn't look professional or they had a bit of an attitude. But I came in tonight April 1st at 9 pm. The gentleman that took my order looked very professional and he was very kind and attentive. Everyone else in the back also was dressed professionally. The other times that I came I had to ask for my fries to be remade because they weren't fresh, and I asked for salt because they didn't have salt on them, the chicken nuggets were also not that crispy. But tonight when I came my fries were fresh and had salt, the chicken nuggets were crispy ! And the coffee is strong so that lets me know they used a good amount to make. I used to work for McDonald's and these small details I know about since I've been in the kitchen before. My visit tonight went great.

Went today for an Ice Coffee and waited over 15 mins with no service from any staff. As I was…read morewaiting patiently in my vehicle for my single Ice Coffee, I observed many more customers receiving full order that numbered several bags. Very unsatisfied with service at this location. McDonald's if you truly are reading this, I don't want an automated response. You can reach out to me on here rather than spend more of my time reaching out to you. If you really care to looking to matters.

Loved the food here!! The line go by super quick so don't get discouraged if it looks long. Inside…read moreyou basically go to the station of the food you want, and they have signs stating the food so you know where to go. The adobada was what I was most excited for. It's similar to Al pastor without the pineapple though. The meat was tender and the flavor was authentic. My partner liked this one the most! What shocked me was the carne asada. The taco was delicious!! It had a wonderfully smoky flavor to the meat and it was juicy and tender. I have been craving it ever since!! This was my favorite. There's no seating downstairs but if you go upstairs you'll find some tables! Be warned that it's hot upstairs. But since you chow down the food quickly you won't be there for too long anyway. If you're visiting San Diego, this is a must!!

Tacos El Gordo did not disappoint!…read more We were on a road trip from the Bay Area to Ontario and decided on a last-minute dinner stop at Tacos El Gordo in San Diego. We figured we had to make the detour -- and honestly, it was worth it! The lines can get pretty long, but don't let that scare you away. They move fairly quickly, although it depends on how complicated people's orders are. The Al Pastor line was probably the longest, but that's probably because everyone knows what's good! Since we made the trip out here, we went all in and ordered about 11 items: 1 Lengua Mulita - This was my first time trying a mulita and it was amazing. Basically a taco sandwich with cheese, and the combination of the crispy tortilla, melted cheese, and tender lengua was . 2 Lengua Taco - The lengua was just as tender and flavorful as I remembered from about 10 years ago. It brought back some nostalgia and definitely lived up to expectations. 1 Cabeza Taco - Probably my favorite taco of the night. The meat was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. Definitely a must-try. 2 Asada Tacos - Solid tacos. They were good, but compared to the other options, they didn't stand out as much. 4 Al Pastor Tacos - These were amazing! The al pastor was super flavorful, juicy, and not dry at all. I can see why this line was so long. 1 1/2 Al Pastor Fries - The avocado sauce really brought everything together. The fries, meat, and toppings combined into a perfect late-night meal. We also ordered the grilled onions and jalapeños on the side, which were a great addition and paired really well with everything, just walk up to the ladies that's pressing the tortillas, no need to wait in line. Overall, Tacos El Gordo was definitely worth the stop. The portions, flavors, and quality were exactly what we were hoping for. If you're in San Diego, expect a wait -- but trust me, it's worth it. 5 stars but subtracting 1 just because after ordering the Al Pastor tacos, then waiting for the other lines for the other meats, food went from hot/fresh to warm pretty much, but that's on us since it was only Me and another person.

love this place. might be our favorite burger place in san diego!…read more we got the mini cheeseburger with fries and the chili burger. both were delicious in their own way. the fries are great wedge fries with a good crunch and flavoring on the outside but soft and pillowy on the inside. we also got a vanilla shake that was huge. after drink half we brought home the rest which filled up their whole to go cup! there was plenty of seating when we went and the staff was super attentive and brought out our food fast.

This place used to be packed, but then again, we used to come when it was during Comic Con weekend…read more Today we arrived on a midweek lunch hour and there was immediate plenty of seating. Service was swift. Menu is the same but probably with higher prices. We remember that the portion sizes were on the larger side, so we decided to order small and even split some plates. We ordered the four piece chicken tenders, mini bacon cheeseburger, and the grilled chicken sandwich. To add on fries or onion rings, there is an additional charge of either $4.50 or $5.50, respectively. So prices on top of your main item can definitely get pricey. Food flavors and presentation seemed average like your standard diner type restaurant. Nothing was remarkable. Just solid.

first of all we eat at a lot of burger joints all over the country this was one of the best burgers…read moreand the rib sandwich was tremendous the grill flavor was perfect and the ribs had just the right crispy edges to it the shakes were excellent not too sweet and good flavor the staff were friendly, smiled at us , and service was fast all these 1 star reviews are nuts this place i would definitely come back too

The patty was real thin and the bacon was really thin. The onion rings were good actually. They didn't bring ketsup or napkins with the food. Okay food, a bit pricey in my opinion.

I was on jury duty today and I wanted to have some Shawarma so I looked up on yelp and found the…read moreK-pop shop was about a 20 minute walk away. The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.

What a great surprise! This place looks like a neighborhood market and convenience store from the…read moreoutside, but it's so much more. They have an impressive deli with made-to-order sandwiches, fresh salads, pizza, and plenty of grab-and-go options. The sandwiches were excellent and definitely the highlight of our visit. Everything tasted fresh, and it was the perfect spot to grab a quick bite before heading out to enjoy San Diego. It's clearly not much of a secret anymore with all the great reviews, and after visiting, I can see why. If you're looking for a delicious sandwich, a quick lunch, or food to take on a picnic while enjoying San Diego's beautiful weather, this is a fantastic choice. We'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in town.

Last night around 5pm I stopped in to grab sandwiches so I could get back to late-night work--and…read moremy office is just down the street, so this was the kind of place I expected to become a convenient regular stop. Unfortunately, the staff attitude was surprisingly rude. While I was standing there, a staff member walked behind me and twice said, "watch your back, sir." I'm a woman. Whether it was meant to provoke a reaction or passed off as a "joke," it came across as mocking and targeted, and none of the other staff appeared to check it or even acknowledge it. For a deli in the heart of Bankers Hill, you'd expect basic professionalism and courtesy. Instead, the vibe felt entitled and dismissive. I've been to other delis around town with far kinder service. I won't be returning.

So after picking up food here countless times for family, I finally decided it was my turn to see…read morewhat all the hype was about. Every time I'm in Little Italy, there's always a line, and I've often wondered, "Is this chicken really that good?" Well...today I found out! The menu offers plenty of tempting options, but I kept it simple with the 3-piece chicken meal, which came with a choice of fries or vegetables, a drink, and a giant chocolate chip cookie. You can also add extra chicken tenders for just $2.50 each, which is a great deal if you're extra hungry. Everything came out fresh to order. The chicken was hot, crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, while the fries were perfectly hot and crispy. One thing I really liked was their unique soda fountain with several cream soda flavors, lemonade, and tea options. And let's talk about that cookie--it was huge, warm, loaded with chocolate chips, and topped with a light sprinkle of salt that made it even better. The dipping sauces definitely deserve their own shout-out. The pineapple mustard sauce was unlike anything I've had before--sweet, tangy, and incredibly addictive. I also loved the smoky barbecue sauce, which paired perfectly with the chicken. Customer service was another highlight. Everyone greeted us with a smile and patiently answered our questions. I could tell one of the cashiers was still learning, but what stood out was how supportive the rest of the team was. One of the employees was bouncing between helping customers, answering menu questions, recommending popular items, and assembling orders in the back without missing a beat. I always appreciate seeing genuine teamwork, and you could tell everyone was working together to make sure customers had a great experience. The atmosphere was just as enjoyable as the food. I loved the laid-back "shack" vibe with the covered outdoor patio, bar area, picnic tables, and even a cornhole setup off to the side. Music was playing, creating a fun atmosphere, and once the evening cooled down, the overhead heaters made the patio feel extra cozy. There was plenty of seating, making it a great place to hang out and enjoy your meal. Needless to say, I can finally understand why there's almost always a line here. I'm honestly wondering why I waited so long to try it for myself! I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm giving one of their chicken sandwiches a try. As always...I don't gatekeep--I just put you on game! If you're ever in Little Italy, do yourself a favor and stop by. If you're a fan of great chicken tenders, delicious sauces, and a fun atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth checking out. You can thank me later.

This is one of my sister's favorite chains, and she was excited to try out this location. We were…read moreon our way to a concert, and this was a great afternoon meal before our day out. We got the cesar chicken wrap, friend chicken, fries, coleslaw, biscuits and a bloody mary. My favorite items were the biscuits and the chicken. The chicken was well seasoned and I like that they use jidori chicken. The wrap was good, it was just a little heavy on the dressing. The biscuits are soft and have a good flavor. I didn't really like the fries though. Overall the staff was nice. But the bartender was really nice and welcoming. This location is all outdoors. Parking can be challenging as it's mostly metered or in the structure. I'll definitely go back when in the area.
