    My new favorite go to spot for Charbroiled burgers and Chili Cheese Fries. Really good price and quality too!

    Arrived at 8:30 to no order. The cashier lied & said it was due at 8:45 until I proved her wrong.

    I ordered for 7ppl and paid online for a pick up the next morning. Time due was 8:15. I arrived at 8:30 to find my order was not ready. In fact, no one checked the computer to see it was there. The cashier LIED and said it was requested for 8:45. Umh, NO! Receipts don't lie! I wanted to cancel because I had a meeting to get to. If the order was for myself only, I would have. This is the 2nd and last time I've eaten breakfast here. Both times, my food was horribly unseasoned. My turkey sausage, hash brown and eggs burrito had not a speck of salt or pepper. My coworkers were not impressed either. I will not be back!

    The steak quesadilla I ordered was good. It was a little oiler than I would have liked, but it was still tasty. It came with a scoop of sour cream and lettuce with a slice of tomato. I also got a BLT on sourdough and a bottle of orange juice. The drive thru was spacious and didn't demand a sharp turn which bigger vehicles will appreciate. I didn't wait too long... maybe about 5 minutes. The lady at the window was nice and efficient. I asked for ketchup and hot sauce, and she told me that it was already in the bag. I value that foresight. There are a ton of other menu options that I'll try in the future.

    It's quick, fast service, and has a variety of diner food from burgers, sandwiches, breakfast plates, Mexican food, including menudo on weekends and caldo during the week. They also have a drive thru. Convenient location near the freeway as well.

    Over cooked food! This dinner shrimp was disgusting. Last time I'll be coming here.

    I was in search of a sit down Mexican restaurant in the area so I last minute chose this place. I…read morethought it was odd they close at 6pm being a place that serves buckets of beer. The vibe was really off. The place is nice and clean and appealing but there was no music playing. They had on naked and afraid and some news on their TVs. We were the only people there so the place was so quiet and boring. The lady was very polite, but it just wasn't a "fun environment". The food came out at all different times which was weird because we were the only ones there. I'm always trying to find somewhere close to go hang out and invite friends to have drinks and eat but it was just so off I wouldn't want to go back with friends. Food- I had the fish taco which was good, the calamari was very chewy and not that good, and the enchiladas were decent Service - Service was good (flys were coming in tho so I think they should keep the door closed) Ambiance- lacking. They need some fun music and give me a reason to order some beer and hangout more. I don't really see this as anything other than a takeout place unless they extend their hours and improve the vibe.

    I love this cute hidden gem in carson. It's hard to find a good shrimp cocktail these days! Plus…read morethey serve incredible MIcheladas and have big TV's to watch games.

We asked if they had any plant-based or vegan options. They only sold burgers however the lady that helped us was very sweet, polite, and kind. She told what they had and what we could order inside instead. We walked in and the gentleman named Oscar G. cashed us out. He was also very friendly! Very professional and knowledgeable about the menu and non-dairy items. Provided us with what we needed right away, the container for the salsa and brought out fresh ones for me. Very nice guy. The food came out right away. The portions were big in my opinion. The prices were decent, the portion was great, and best of all the service was good. Their self-serve condiments was a PLUS! I've been to a lot of taco spots and these were by far the freshest and crispiest cucumbers, fresh cold salsa, onions and cilantro was also fresh. The food was good and filled us up. It was simple but fulfilling. Will definitely be back and highly recommend it. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor seats as well.

    I stopped by Top Shelf Tacos in Carson on Taco Tuesday, where tacos were only $2 each. At that…read moreprice, it was easy to try a little bit of everything. I ordered the asada, carnitas, al pastor, tripas, cabeza, and lengua. The asada was tender with a nice grilled flavor, but my favorites were definitely the tripas and cabeza. Both were a little greasy, but in a good way--they had a lot of flavor and were probably the standouts of the meal for me. One thing I liked was the condiment bar. You can load up your tacos with as much onion and cilantro as you want, plus they have radishes and lime wedges available. They also offer two salsas, a red and a green. Both tasted good and had solid flavor, although I was hoping for a little more heat. Overall, it's a solid taco spot, especially on Taco Tuesday. Good variety of meats, reasonable prices, and plenty of toppings to customize your tacos. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area and craving some tacos.

    I was in the area doing errands but got really hungry. This place was in the complex I was shopping…read morein so I popped on over based on the recommendation from the employee helping me at a store near by. I have been seeing them on my feed but for some reason haven't stopped in yet. As a solo diner I felt pleasantly welcomed as I walked it. The sweet gal behind the counter was very friendly and engaging when I asked her questions seeing it was my first time here. I chose the two taco combo, carne asada was my meat of choice. The two other options were shrimp and chicken. The combo comes with chips and a drink along with my choice of salsa. I have to tell you I was pretty impressed with my tacos. They were loaded with meat; which was really tasty. They had cilantro and onion and avocado. The chips were fresh and also very good. I liked the salsa as well. The two gals working the counter and who brought my food were so sweet. She even came back to ask if I needed anything and gave me extra salsa. They have numerous TVs (got to catch some of the Dodger game. ) in there and they do so alcohol as well. I will definitely be back. This was a very nice solo lunch experience..

    I ordered through the kiosk because there was a line, but the experience went downhill from there…read more Three customers who ordered after me received their food before I did. After waiting about 10 minutes, I went to the counter, and it took even longer before an employee asked for my name. It turned out my order had been sitting there for over 20 minutes while takeout orders were being prioritized. When they finally handed me my food, it was still in a bag even though my order was for dine-in, and I had to remind them to give me my drinks. They also forgot to include salsa for the chips. What really frustrated me was being told that next time I should just go to the counter after ordering at the kiosk. As a first-time customer, how was I supposed to know that? If the kiosk orders aren't being monitored, that's something the restaurant should address--not something customers should have to figure out on their own. After this experience, there won't be a next time.
