    Door bell at the next drive thru window
    Char B.

    Great this place is open 24hrs. They have u sit at another drive thru up ahead if u order too much so they can keep the flow of the drive thru. That window has a very convenient doorbell incase they forget ur ranch like they did for me.

    Chicken sandwich

    Ok guys, don't judge. We went to McDs because we had points that were expiring and it allowed us to get McChicken sandwiches... 3x. lol. And when we travel we love getting their breakfast sandwiches. Honestly can't go wrong with ordering it at home then driving and parking in front of a number. They come out pretty quickly. Some staff even offering condiments (ketchup). I suggest downloading the app and finding their deals. We were also able to get that $5 meal deal with a McChicken sandwich, nuggets, fries and a drink. Also when the padres win, you get a medium size fries with a $1 more order. Usually just stick with the McChicken, nuggets and breakfast sandwiches. But geez, did you see the normal meal prices?! When did fast food get so pricey? Just go for the deals on the app.

    Ordered a Large Sweet Tea with light ice for me and my sibling and we're diabetic so we needed the sugar. When we got home we realized our sweet tea was unsweetened and I know we couldn't return it since we already drank from it but I called to tell them that their tea was not sweet and it seemed like a joke to them, beware. Also when you order cook to order fries don't bother they just throw the old ones in the fryer and they turn out hard with no flavor.

    Location is close to the 5 freeway and parking lot is huge and free because it is shared with Home Depot. For service you can order via mobile app, or drive through, or on a touch screen inside. Make sure to sign up for a McDonald's account so you get points for free stuff. Inside is nice, clean, just as crowded and noisy as any busy McDonald's. Ordered some french fries and it did not take too long, maybe 2 minutes but when they went to hand me the bag it was empty. The clerk realized the mistake and put my bag back in the queue to get filled up. Within in a minute I had my golden delicious tasty fries and was out the door. Staff was nice, friendly, and realized their mistake before I left so that was a plus.

    Great budget deals from meals to drinks Downloading the app made my visit that much better Amazing McDonald's rewards

Staff was friendly and professional. My order didn't take about maybe 5 minutes . It was clean inside . 5 out of 5 stars . I Recommend them. I be back thank you all

    The ads verses reality!
    Todd B.

    FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! How does corporate America get away with lying to us consumers???? It's because we allow it. Time for us to wake up and hold companies accountable for their advertising. Case in point, although I rarely choose McDonalds these days...today we did because my son wanted it. I ordered a bacon double quarter pounder with cheese The end product comes, looks nothing like the advertised picture, no visible bacon till you open it up. Then you see the amazing thick-cut applewood bacon...wrong!!! You see 3 wimpy razor thin excuses for bacon. What a joke. See for yourself. Attached are 3 pictures. My burger, a snapshot of the online picture of the burger and then their online description of the burger. It is all very sad. McDonalds has 0% quality control and price control. They believe we are all too dumb to notice or even care so they continue to mislead and misrepresent in their adds. Why not be truthful...say "applewood bacon that is soooo thin, you'll barely even know it's there". That is TRUTH! Why do we all allow corporations like McDonalds to deceive us?

    Drive-thru
    Alex D.

    Accessibility: they have accessible parking directly in front of the building and plenty of other parking available. There is a ramp to get onto the sidewalk and the doors to get inside are pull doors. They also have a drive-thru with two lanes and digital screens with the menu on it. Experience: I went through the drive-thru on a Saturday afternoon and there was no one in line in front of me. The service was super fast and the food was hot! Fresh off the grill type of hot! The fries here also tasted MUCH better than the fries at the other McDonald's I have been to in San Marcos. The Vanilla coffee here was also very good and cheap! Use their phone app to get lots of discounts.

    Restaurant main entrance

    I just walked after waiting at the register for a long time to place an order. There were workers walking around, but I wasn't even acknowledged. Eventually an older lady walked up and asked me if I needed help (like I would just come by to stand there for fun!). When I told her I'd been waiting for a long time for someone to take my order she pointed me to the machine/kiosk instead of taking my order. I told her to just forget about it and I walked out. Pretty disappointing service, or lack of. Especially when I usually come by the drive-thru at this location in the mornings, with no problem at all. ‍

We asked one girl what she recommend to which she simply replied I don't know and the other one seemed irritated by our questions. This was our first visit, yet they didn't seem interested in helping us! Neither was particularly welcoming or friendly. To make matters worse, we overheard the employees' conversations which included lots of profanity and complaining about work, not a family friendly experience! It's disappointing because the products themselves were enjoyable, but the poor customer service made it difficult to enjoy the overall experience. 2 stars, completely unprofessional.

    Best Tea Spot in North County!…read more Boba Pop Boba Cafe is easily one of the best tea spots in North County San Diego. What really stands out is the quality of the tea itself. You can actually taste and smell the tea--it's incredibly fragrant, flavorful, and doesn't get lost underneath the sweetness or toppings. The tea has a really nice depth and freshness to it, and you can tell they put thought into the ingredients and preparation. Whether you're a serious tea drinker or just enjoy a great boba drink, this place is definitely worth checking out. I've tried plenty of boba and tea spots around North County, and Boba Pop is at the top of my list. Highly recommend it!

It all started when the second time I ordered their banana matcha. I remember trying it and thinking it was a little too sweet, but honestly, it was good enough to feel like a dessert! I came back and customized the sweetness level, and I genuinely started enjoying it so much more as an everyday drink. Since then, I've tried their strawberry matcha and double matcha, both with less sugar, and I've really enjoyed them. What surprised me most was the double matcha, it has what I'm assuming is matcha jelly, and the combination of flavor and texture makes it one of my favorites! Sometimes, a little customization makes all the difference.

The employee was being embarrassed in front of everyone in the store, which made for a really uncomfortable atmosphere. Because of the confusion, I ended up ordering through their website instead. Unfortunately, the drink was disappointing. They added a huge scoop of strawberry syrup that completely overpowered the drink. I went there to try Matcha Maiko's matcha, not a cup full of strawberry syrup. On top of that, the syrup wasn't even mixed in properly, so l kept getting mouthfuls of syrup at the bottom I was really looking forward to trying this place, but between the uncomfortable experience in the store and the poorly made drink, it wasn't the experience I had hoped for.
