    Two Dawg's, all-the-way with fries.
    Chumba W.

    Stopped by to grab a late lunch. Ordered their two Dawgs special and they asked me if I wanted them charred on the grill a bit...why not! Both dawgs were dressed all-the-way and came with fries and a drink. Staff is friendly and order was made fresh and fast. I like their fries, they cook them a little more well-done....and they are not greasy. Both Dawgs were dressed completely even with a little-subtle celery salt, which some places miss, it's not a Chicago Dog without it. Tables and floor were clean and or you can sit outside at picnic tables on the sidewalk with umbrellas. I will be back, good example of Chicago-Style hot dogs.

    Seasoned Waffle Fries

    This is a typical greasy spoon and I WILL go back! I had a pizza puff (classic to this type of establishment). The grilled cheese was (picky) toddler approved. Their seasoned waffle fries were really tasty! And the Chicago style hot dog was okay (a little over cooked, per my husband). Not something I'd want to eat all the time (the pizza puff was so deliciously greasy), but it was good!

    First time. Good food, good fries. We got in right before the lunch rush took the food to go and ate across the street at the park.

I also tried something called Vampiro it's kind of like a tostada it was actually really good and I would go back to try more stuff on the menu. The place was nice it's really cool setting I didn't interact with any of the servers just because we did the ordering on the kiosk. I feel like it is a must try place I would have to go back and try more stuff. Happy eating!

    It's been a while since I've been here. The first time was during COVID lockdowns. We placed an…read moreonline order for a few milkshakes to go. The wait time said a half hour, and I was thinking "30 minutes for some milkshakes? No way, that can't be right." So I showed up after about 15 minutes... and walked out another 15 minutes later with the milkshakes. Fast forward a few years later, and thinking it was probably just an anomaly, decided to give this place another try. I love the old-school Tijuana vibe and decor, and the food is great. I really enjoyed my tacos, especially with the various salsas available. And $3 margaritas? Hell yeah. But I can't fathom why three tacos and a burrito would take over a half hour to prepare by even the most inexperienced kitchen staff. After we ate, we decided to order a milkshake to go, thinking that with only a few people left in the restaurant, it shouldn't take too long. It was finally served 20 minutes later. Both experiences - the one a few years ago, and the one recently - took place during dinner hour on the weekend. I'm genuinely curious if the inefficiency persists during busy weekday lunch hours when people need to get back to work. As I said, the food is delicious and there are plenty of menu choices I want to try. Life is too short, though. If I were to give it a positive spin, I would say that it's great if you have a lot of spare time.

The decor inside is always so fun for each location. You can either order at the kiosk or walk up to the counter and wait for your number to be called. My go to is the beef and cheddar with hot peppers and their classic cheese fries. You can't go wrong with their classics. They also have decent ribs, you will need to wait about 20 minutes or so for it but it's delish if you've got the time! Although I've been convinced that I need to try their pasta with vodka sauce with chicken. That might be the next move. All in all, I love this location because it's always a perfect dinner spot when we're done running our target errands. Their drive through line always look long but we've never waited more than 5 - 10 minutes to order and get our food both drive thru and inside.

The counter service is good. A friendly host guided me through the process. The delivery back to the counter was fast enough that I could fill my soda cup and that was all. I ordered the 3 piece spicy chicken tender meal with macaroni and cheese and BBQ sauce. The chicken was crispy, crunchy, and packed full of flavor. The BBQ sauce was sweet enough to balance out the spice and not overpower the chicken flavor. The Mac and cheese, although baked, was bland and the noodles were overcooked. I really didn't expect much on that though so... meets expectations. The meal came with a biscuit. That biscuit was buttery, light, and flavorful. Overall, not a terrible experience. Prices right too.

There were plenty of other Popeyes elsewhere for example, ran out of mash potatoes or slaw. Or, some stop frying spicy chicken around dinner time. Something like this should never happen in my opinion, but they do. This particular location is across the street from me, so it's an easy option when my family crave fried chicken. Because of this, I can't really comment on ambiance of the dining area since I've never eaten inside. Of the couple dozen times we ordered from them, they never messed up our orders or ran out of food. It's a win for me.
