Nothing fancy but this little family owned taco shop always makes us feel welcomed. Richard (owners son) is super friendly and just gives off a good vibe! He was telling me that they use to stay open until 3am to catch those late night taco cravings but over the years has changed their hours and closed earlier and earlier. However, Richard is trying to draw those late night munchies back and has recently started opening until 7pm on certain days. He hopes to extend the hours as business picks up. I think that's great cuz YL has limited options for those second dinner kind of nights haha Tacos, burritos, menudo, sopas with asada, chicken, al pastor birria and so much more.

Bottom Line Up Front: If you like Greek food but don't want…read moreto pay big bucks at an traditional sit-down restaurant, Apola can be your yummy, budget-friendly alternative. The Food: Let me start by saying this is clearly an American take on Greek food, so if you're looking for super authentic food, look elsewhere. But if you're OK with a fusion, Apola will satisfy your Mediterranean craving. There are gyros (pita wraps), bowls, combo plates, and burritos (see, there's that American take I was talking about). All of them range in quality from average to really good. Though I've been here several times, I'll focus on my last visit when we got "the Works" pita wrap and a Greek salad bowl. For the Works, it comes with all the fixings, your choice of protein, and fries stuffed inside (yes, inside, not as a side). I chose beef-and-lamb gyro meat, which came in a huge portion. (Pro Tip: I pulled the fries out and got a "free" side. Of course , there's not a lot of fries, but enough to satisfy my fried food craving.) The gyro was big and tasty. For the Greek salad bowl, we also got beef-and-lamb gyro meat. Once again, they hooked it up with the quantity. Nice! The ingredients (tomatoes, cucumber, feta, etc) were all fresh and seasoned nicely. Side note: I do find it odd that they call this dish a salad bowl when it comes in a rectangular plastic tray. But semantics aside, it was quite good. I also ordered a fountain drink and got a Coke. It was nice a crisp with a lot of carbonation. Just the way I like it. It's not as good as the exclusive Coke blend at McDonald's, but was a close second. I have had some pretty watered down Cokes at other places in recent years. The Service: There were two young gentlemen working the last time I visited, and they were both friendly and knowledgeable. They even brought our meals to our table, which was a nice touch for a fast food establishment. The Setting: It's located inside the recently revamped Yorba Linda Downtown, which has revitalized the area and made it a pleasant place to hang out. Unfortunately, on weekends, it's hard to find parking sometimes. Fortunately we came on a weekday and got parking nearby. Inside, Apola is clean and tidy with roughly enough tables and chairs for a variety of party sizes. The Conclusion: Apola offers good Mediterranean-inspired food for a reasonable price (compared to other restaurants these days) -- just don't expect it to be 100% authentic Greek food. It's not perfect and not super cheap, but with the right expectations set, I plan to return on semi-regular basis.

Very skimpy on toppings. (I ordered sauce on the side.)

Good flavor but meat was so thin that it was already cold and dry.

Eggbred

Review 71/365 Day Challenge…read more Finally visiting this local brunch/lunch spot specifically specializes in egg sandwiches. They are offering a Monday - Friday BOGO free ~ Scramble me softly breakfast sandwich that cost $ 9.99, it's a soft scrambled eggs, chives, caramelized onions, sharp cheddar, smoked paprika spread, in a toasted Japanese milk bun. Really yum. I got it Nashville hot. So it's sprinkled w a paprika type of chili powder that gives in a nice spice kick. Service was fast & friendly. They brought my items to my table. Restaurant has a nice brunch vibes w cute egg wall art decor. They offer a complimentary water dispenser. Only interior seatings, no patio exterior seating. I'd like to definitely return to try more other items on the menu they have a really good variety of options. Located next to Wing stop not far from weinersnitchel in the Imperial Rose Plaza.

The cashier was super sweet and eager to let us vegetarians know that there would be no chance of cross contamination with what we've placed. On top of both of those items being super popular. The burrito was a generous one hander but watching another man who's probably on a date with a woman asking to split that thing in half so they could share... was painful. The burrito was bomb with how evenly them potato tots were distributed, fresh and irresistible. But the burger was so coveted with sauce it was impossible not to drench your fingers and palms or shirt with each flavorful bite. It's a bit too rich for me even if the food was well prepared, albeit greasy. The decor is super cool! But need more utensils and plates for people who dine in.

Meals for you and all your friends!

Delicious breakfast sandwiches for all!

I love to stop by here after my doctor's appointments in Brea. I love Japanese snacks and Tokyo Central has always been my go-to place for it due to its wide variety. I think there's actually more selection at other locations but this one in Yorba Linda is definitely cleaner because it is newer. Everything here is great EXCEPT for their parking. Holy Moly - it is always so difficult to find parking on a weekend. It is comparable to Hmart in Arcadia. So, if you're looking to just stop by to do a quick grab n' go on a Saturday afternoon - don't even think about it. Otherwise, this is definitely a good place for you to shop for groceries, snacks, sushi and SAKE (yum!) for a great price!

The people who hate on In-N-Out's fries just don't know how to order them to their preference.

Also, keto kids know about the protein style burger, which is much healthier than the regular style burger because it has a bun made of lettuce & not carbs.

Most of the time, we get drive-through, and especially with ordering through the app, the service is fast and friendly.

We've also dined in at this location several times, and it is clean and has a modern appearance especially for a fast food restaurant. We've had good experiences dining in too, though there was one time my son and I waited 45 minutes for our food. We were engaged with each other enough in the moment that I didn't try to see what was the cause of the delay, but the delay did ultimately inconvenience us later on that night. All in all, especially for a fast food restaurant, we've had good experiences at this McDonald's location. I would recommend this one over many others that I've been to.

It seems like McDonald's at ALL locations doesn't know what "extra onions" means because they put "no onions" on the ticket.

Maybe I sound like a Karen, but I genuinely don't think it's that complicated to put onions on a burger. I blame myself as well for not checking everything before driving away since this happens more often than not, but we should be able to trust that the employees get our order right.
