    Giving two stars because the chicken fried rice was not what I expected. Rice was great, chicken not so much. I've definitely had better. You can really taste how frozen this chicken was before they cooked it. Idk about anyone else I cannot eat something where I can still taste that it was frozen. Not my cup of tea. Everything else I ordered from this place, was good. Hoping to try the shrimp fried rice next time, hope I won't be disappointed! Friendly staff & clean place. U P D A T E : so I thought the rest of the food was good. Until, my bfs grandma got sick from eating the orange chicken. I am now changing my review to ONE star. Apparently the chicken was gooey & tasted exactly the way the chicken tasted in the fried chicken. Should've known that'd happen. I honestly don't think I'm returning back to this place, sorry. DO NOT eat their chicken. This is one of the reasons why I'm so picky with eating chicken at fast food joints.

    Spicy bbq pork, best orange chicken I've ever tasted, and rice

    First time here and OMG! Best orange chicken I've ever tasted. So crunchy and succulent! The lady over the counter has great customer service, she let me sample spicy and non-spicy barbecue pork with a big smile on her face. I would highly recommend!!!

The meal started with complimentary chips served alongside both a sweet mole and a savory, tangy mole sauce. It was something I'd never experienced before, and it was incredibly delicious. I ordered the chicken enmoladas, and they were generously stuffed with chicken and smothered in rich, flavorful mole. Every bite tasted authentic, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. For dessert, our waiter recommended the plantains in tequila sauce paired with a café de olla. They were so amazing that we completely devoured the dessert before I even remembered to take a picture! As first-time visitors, my guests and I were genuinely impressed by the quality of the food, the authentic flavors, and the warm service. We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine.

Service is attentive, the food has its charm with in-house made tortillas. It really was a hard review to write because all the elements of a great restaurant is embodied in this hidden gem. I chalk it up to ordering the wrong items. The flavors did not pop for me. Hubby opted for the chorizo and he said it was decent and he described it as "diet chorizo"--that he'd probably needed to go back to Sinaloa to capture the true essence of "real" chorizo, the way it's meant to be. The star of his meal was the in-house made flour tortillas-now that's authentic! This is/was the reason that it leaned towards a 4 star. These looked and tasted phenomenal. The aroma took me back to the times when we visited Rosarito's Puerto Nuevo, as the lady made the tortillas by hand & pressed them in the comal, ahh, good times. I ordered the vegetarian omelette with beans & potatoes. The omelette was decent with fresh bell peppers & onions but the seasoning was so mild that I requested for salt & pepper. The potatoes appeared well seasoned in color but lacked that oomph that salt & pepper couldn't fix. My apple pancakes were average. While I appreciated the strawberry compote, there was no apple or apple taste in them. To wash everything down, I had cafe de olla, that was good. The aroma of the brown sugar & cinnamon was ever present. Estrella, our server was very welcoming, attentive and friendly, she gets 5 stars for her service with a smile & hospitality. Their lunch & dinner menu looked very appealing but we wanted breakfast items. We wish we were both molé enthusiasts then perhaps we would've better appreciated & enjoyed those offerings. Both indoor & outdoor seating (front & rear), parking is free & shared with their liquor store at this corner small plaza. Beware, no restrooms available. I'm glad we gave this little shop a try.

Unfortunately, the team member taking my order was not very helpful and seemed uninterested in answering my questions. As a paying customer, I left feeling that he could benefit from additional customer service training, particularly in creating a welcoming and informative experience. Thankfully, my experience completely turned around because of Berenice. She noticed that I seemed unsure while ordering and later came to my table to check on me personally. She had recommended a drink for me, and it was absolutely delicious! More importantly, she genuinely cared about whether I was enjoying it and took the time to make sure I was satisfied with my meal. That level of attentiveness, initiative, and hospitality is rare and deserves recognition. I would also like to acknowledge Emily, the manager, who took the time to stop by my table and check on me as well. It speaks volumes about her leadership that she makes an effort to connect with customers and ensure they are having a positive experience. Berenice is truly a standout employee and an incredible asset to Panera. Emily's leadership and commitment to customer satisfaction are equally commendable. Employees like these are the reason customers return. Thank you both for turning what started as a disappointing interaction into a wonderful dining experience. Panera is fortunate to have such dedicated professionals representing the company.

How you gonna eat pasta without a fork or spoon? Took away stars for that and the vibe inside the restaurant. Notice in my photo I had to go home where I could use my own fork. Bad if you want to eat there because it was so loud I was grateful I was eating alone and wasn't trying to have a conversation with anyone. They seriously need to put something on the walls and ceiling to lower all the echo and reverb. Impossible noise, absolutely not the sound level you want when you're trying to eat inside a restaurant. No wonder the dining room was empty that time I ate it there. But the food is good

I can always find something I'm in the mood for whether sticking with something familiar or trying out a new flavor. What I like about them is the ability to customize your meal. You can add protein options like grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu, and the portions are generous for the price. The Wisconsin Mac & Cheese is good, rich, and creamy and the Penne Rosa is spicy with a mix of marinara, cream, and fresh veggies. The zucchini noodles are a good low-carb alternative. The restaurant is casual, modern, and clean. Service is friendly and orders are prepared quickly. Lots of parking available.

My absolute favorite is the Greek chicken salad--I can't even explain how good it is, it's just that delicious every single time.

Im annoyed by how expensive it was. I'm so disappointed because they used to give a lot more than just 4 pcs of pita too when you order a full appetizer side. You get better back for your buck if you get a sandwich because it comes with two pretty large sides... the same size as a regular appetizer lol. The food used to be so good back then. The recipe and flavors have changed. Service is always great and ambiance is fun though. It's very clean here.

    Had to travel to LA, so what do we do when we must make that drive? Look for a new Peruvian…read morerestaurant to try!!!!!! This was a bit off the track on our way but had great reviews so went for it! Reviews said meals come with bread and aguadito! Count us in! The bread and aguadito are actually Yummy together, never thought to eat like this but it's so good. The soup is more watery than I make mine or have had but trust me, dip your bread in it! Game changer!!!! I love that they do this, makes them stand out and serving soup with each meal is why we chose it over all the other Peruvian restaurants on the way. The place was packed by the way. And we saw more ppl going in for the first time as well saying oh look, it's over here in the corner. I love more and more ppl are discovering how amazing Peruvian food is!!! For meals we got aji de gallina, my personal favorite and it did not disappoint. It had a very slight kick to it. Again trust me, I'm Kentucky born, I can't handle spicy lol. And this was perfect. Not spicy. Just a tiny kick. Try it. Enjoy it. Make sure you take a bite of rice with each bite of this dish. It's meant to eat together. Got papa rellena to share but we weren't fans so we just ate our other dish. But next day we ate it with our leftovers and we both enjoyed it much more. A must with the aji verde of course. And again, each bite must be paired with the salsa criollo that comes with it. Salsa criollo is the sliced red onions in the container with limon and cilantro, trust me, it's how it's meant to be eaten. Hubby got the arroz con mariscos. He enjoyed it. I am not a jaela fan, so I just don't care for these dishes. I'm a chaulfa fan! And they are not the same though they may look similar. So if you don't like this try chaulfa next time. But my husband prefers this dish to chaulfa, still he doeslikes both. We got chicha to drink. There's taste a hint different than other places. Not at all a bad thing. We loved it! Obviously house made! Some put a tad more pineapple and some a tad more cinnamon etc. So not all will taste the exact same. I highly recommend you try there's. Wish we'd gotten two each! Restaurant was clean and efficient and good seating options. Bathroom was clean and roomy. Staff was welcoming and nonstop working and willing to explain the dishes if you aren't familiar so ask if needed. Menu is thorough. It explains each dish well. My only complaint, it's far from Oceanside lol!!! LA has sooooooo many options, we need more in San Diego county. But if you are trying to decide since there's sooo many in the area, we recommend you try this place. Oh and my husband used the extra aji verde we had left over on our pasta, he loved it.

    What a great find!!!…read more While going on a deep dive on where to eat this popped up. And I'm so thankful it did. We went here 2 weeks in a row so far and tried a different item each time. The staff is friendly, the food was tasty, and this was an unexpected oasis of delight. My first time I tried the Lomo Saltado, it seemed like a must try for a first experience. And it was excellent. The lunch special started off with a delicious soup and then the meal came out and hello. This was no meager lunch. It was a lunch that was delightful, delicious and I satisfied for the rest of the day. The second journey here I was happy to try something different. I had the Vinita Saltada with beef. Well this was once again a wonderful meal. I am so thankful to have found this wonderful place. And I look forward to going again soon. And bringing another friend along.
