    Drive thru, I was behind a vehicle at service window, and my ice coffee was handed to them and returned to the employee. They departed, and I pulled up was handed the same ice coffee with no apology or remake, this being very unsanitary. This location will not see my return.

    We come to this McDonald's every now and then. Once in a while the food is great other times it's a complete disaster. For the most part we get lucky and the food has turned alright but it's usually best to go somewhere else. The clientele tends to get a bit rowdy at times in and around the store. It's not McDonalds fault by any means it more of the location issue. Today, upon entering the store, a man was standing in the middle of the restaurant talking obnoxiously loud to another patron (BLAH BLAH BLAH!), UM HELLO, INSIDE VOICE PLEASE! I am used to this because it happens to be normal operation in Sanford but visitors to the area would be turned off really quick. The reason for our visit was that this McDonald's sent out some good coupons recently so we decided to stop by for a quick snack. The coupons we used were for a buy-one-get-one McCafé (any size) and a free Egg McMuffin (no purchase required). We showed up late afternoon so of course they were not prepared for the Coffee & Egg McMuffin order. Which is fine by me because that means they have to make it to order. We always ask if the coffee is fresh, if it's not we are willing to wait for a freshly brewed pot. The clerk neglected to start brewing the coffee immediately so after three minutes or so my wife asked her if she started brewing the coffee yet and she was like "oh yeah, woops". In the meantime, my wife waited on the outdoor patio with our dog while I was inside collecting our order. Then a local homeless lady pulled up on her bicycle just outside where my wife was sitting and began talking to and hollering at the person who did not exist next to her, GREAT! We got a live one here. I finally retrieved our order and met up with my Wife and dog on the patio to embrace everything that is great in this town including the hooting/hollering lady and her bicycle behind us. Eventually the lady went into the store and we were able to enjoy our late day snack. The coffee was perfectly made, you can't go wrong with McDonalds coffee when made right. Our Egg McMuffin was definitely freshly made and delicious. No complaints with our food on this trip however it did take about 15 minutes for our order to be fulfilled. As we were finishing up our snack the lady returned to the bike rack a second time to carry on another conversation with the invisible entity. Whomever it was she was speaking to obviously was not someone she cared for. Well, this time around the experience here was a bit awkward but nothing that I am not used to in this town. The food was good but service was quite lacking. The restaurant and patio were orderly, clean and well kept. I will not go out of my way to eat here often but I will return on occasion.

    Downtown Sanford location gets pretty busy especially during the mornings and later in the evenings. This is the closest location from where I work and so several people I know and work with visit here often. Since Covid, service is pretty quick which is great for lunch runs, but the menu shrank. I think for all locations they're only following suite. The customer in the mornings from the evenings is like day and night. Customer service is amazing during the morning shift, service moves quickly, and food is spot on. Employees in the morning seem happy and show love to their customers. Unfortunately, in the late afternoons and evenings; service is the complete opposite. This just goes to show there's a major difference between each crew moral and management. Looking for a quick bite in the area with great service, I recommend the morning crew here any day!!

    a sandwich and a burger on a wrapper

    Service was horrible. Went for breakfast and when we finished ordering she told us to pull forward but we sat for an extra second while the screen updated so we could make sure it was correct. As we were about to pull away, she came on the speaker with a major attitude and said "you can pull forward!!" I got over it quick, whatever. She must be having a bad morning. Then I got my food. I ordered one sandwich and two frappes. I opened my sandwich and there was an incredibly long hair intertwined in the layers of the sandwich . Definitely not eating that. And I know it's not mine because my hair is literally in a slick tight bun. Disgusting location and I will not be back

    Just left there not 10 minutes ago. How hard is it to get an order right? The ticket is right, the burger is not. Thanks for wasting my gas. This is why I tell people to AVOID this place. Onions and pickles? Seriously?!? You took my order right, so why does this happen? It wasn't even busy

    One of the worst McDonald's I have ever visited. They never get your order right. They hire terrible people. I have complained several times to corporate. I wish they would just close this location down. Garbage food and garbage service. I got an oatmeal this morning that was only half full. The portion is supposed to be 9 ounces. Just out of curiosity I came home and weighed the container. It weighed 7.14 oz. After you deduct the weight of the container the portion was 6.5 ounces.

    Crew behind the counter was good, but the condiments and soda counter needed a good wipe down and trash removal.

    Wow. I can't believe a whole year to get over here and we live right across the street…read more Let's start out with the chips and sauce of the chips are amazing thick hot and fresh salsa is flavorful and just the right amount of hot spice. I got the fish tacos that came out hot and delicious. Scott got the fajitas with chicken steak and shrimp out of all the fajitas I've never seen one come with a big piece of cooked cactus on top. It was so good! We went here on a Saturday evening and it was not busy at all which is not a good thing It did have live music and we enjoyed listening to and play all sorts of unique music on his acoustic guitar. I think this is my new favorite Mexican restaurant I definitely will be back!

    Our most recent visit to Alebrije was on 5/30/2026. We had some friends in town and they were…read morecraving Mexican. Since our last visit here was so great we decided there would be no better place to take them than Alebrije. Our server was very friendly and attentive; his name was Angel. Although Angel was awesome, we did have some issues with our overall experience. First of all, there was a very large party in the back right side of the restaurant with lots of kids in it. We wanted no part of that and requested to be seated on the opposite side of the restaurant so we can talk without all the commotion and management would not accommodate our request because they said the AC was down over there. Secondly, something horrible is going on with sewer gasses seeping its way into the dining room. This is something that needs to be addressed promptly. The third issue we had was with the menu. The menu stated that the (MIX) Fajitas we ordered would include Shrimp, Beef, and Chicken for $25, when we received the bill it was an additional $2 for the shrimp, when we brought it to the attention of Angel he said the shrimp was $2 more, we did complain but nothing came of it; in my opinion they need to clarify this in the menu because to me MIX means a variety of all the meat options. Finally, the last issue is the price for margaritas. The well large margarita with nothing special added is $18. I've had much larger margaritas for $10 and $11 elsewhere, not sure where they get off charging so much for a well margarita. On the upside, our fajitas were delicious, they had a much larger mix of vegetables when compared to our last visit; however, the skillet was not sizzling when it arrived, thankfully it was hot. Although I wasn't satisfied with the size of the margarita, it was very tasty. They could do a better job on the chips and salsa situation. They claim that if you ask for extra then there is an upcharge, they haven't charged us both times we've been here when asking for more. If they did, I would be a little more upset that the chips are served stale versus fresh, they could easily remedy this by warming them before sending out to alleviate this issue. I would come back again but honestly if that sewer smell is still their next time around, I won't be back and wouldn't recommend them going forward.

    I have been here twice,first time it was good the second time it wasn't as good as the first time…read moreand I felt like I got sick from the food after our second visit. On our last visit the restaurant was pretty empty with probably only one more couple eating there. The service is ok ,the food didn't taste as good as our previous visit but they do have a nice ambiance and some days they have a live band. As of May 2026,this business is closing. Also this business has been on the news many times claiming it was closing or struggling to stay open. I have read that this business had many violations in their restaurant,for that and other reasons such as lack of taste in their food I choose to give them *** three stars.***

    The taste of the overused fryer grease really comes through with an overpoweringly heavy punch to…read morethe guts with the chicken wings and fries. Even the fish was mushy and greasy tasting as well, yet it managed to hold the disturbingly present background texture and taste of being freezer burnt meat. Overall, the aesthetics of this local establishment leaves much to be desired in regard to cleanliness. There's a distinctly stale, musky smell in the air. Additionally, the somehow sticky, yet greasy feel to the main floors, left me questioning the level of cleanliness in the kitchen. The overall pricing is equivalent in comparison to most of the other dining establishments in the area, but definitely not worth the actual expense considering the low quality product being served to the community. Not sure why the local residents and political leaders in this town have invested so much time and money with their continued efforts to keep this establishment alive. * Zero out of 10 * To Be Absolutely Clear... I Do Not Considerer To Be This Business As A Recommended Dining Establishment. !!!Save Your Money!!!

    I've been to this Subway numerous times over the years and I have never had any major issues or…read morecomplaints other than the parking lot can be a cluster. The lot is small, shares spaces with several other businesses in the same plaza, and is butted up against 17-92, making difficult to enter and exit easily. On my most recent visit, I needed two subs that I could save for dinner later that evening after the Creed concert in Tampa. Yes, we plan that far in advance, lol! It's always a burden to find a place to eat before and after a major concert, so we bring the cooler and our own food/drinks and save $$$$, time, and aggravation. I used a coupon - two footlongs for $12.99. The options are limited now, since the majority of subs are specialty subs and are not part of the promotion. I guess that's how they get you now. So my choices are Italian BMT, Turkey, Cold Cut Combo, Meatball, and I think Tuna. I ended up going with the Italian BMT and the Hotshot Italian, which is basically the BMT with hot peppers on it. The young lady working the counter was friendly, and was very conscious about washing her hands and putting of fresh gloves before making our sub's, great job! Unfortunately they only had two options of bread - wheat and white, bummer. I didn't realize I forgot to ask the server to add mayo, mustard, and spicy mayo to the sandwiches until we began eating our sub's later that day. Nancy's like why are these so bland. Totally my fault, but I do have to say the wheat bread has no flavor at all, without condiments, the sub bread is just meh. All and all, the restaurant was clean and they did a great job making my subs. Its too bad they were out the better bread options so early in the day (10:00am), and I wish they offered more variety with the coupons. Ultimately, I recommend them if you are looking for a meal at a much lower cost to eating at a sit-down restaurant.

Today I got the standard Italian sub. When I got to where I was going and finally opened it up to eat it The bread was hard and crusty. I did get it toasted before I left but it was so hard and chewy that I was unable to eat the bread so I just ate the meat cheese and vegetables. Probably better for me. I don't know I think I'm done with Subway I'll just drive the extra couple of miles to Publix. The guy behind the counter was super friendly everyone was nice in there place looks clean and well kept. I've never had a problem with the bread before.
