    Waited 52 min for this

    Literally waited 52 min for some Corona Sada fires and asked for no tomatoes and they still got it wrong after 52 min and the gues responds " o my bad bro that was my bad " I literally waited over an hour and a half for these. The fries were not worth it to.

    Carne asada burrito

    This was my first time at Nancy's and it didn't disappoint. I got a carne asada burrito which wash delicious and wrapped to perfection. I also got a caramel churro that was very tasty and fresh.

    5 rolled tacos with rice and beans

    This is a great hidden gem right off the 94 and 125 freeway. Stopped in while I was waiting at the laundromat and was pleasantly surprised! The cook was friendly and very kind, as was the man who took my order. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area! The tacos were hot with delicious meat and the beans and rice were fantastic. Will be going again!

    First time eating here Food was hot and great I will definitely be returning Ordered 2 beef taco combination I was told their omelets are killer good, so I think I'll get one next time

    I came by here to have some T.J. tacos. You can get 3 for $3.50 and you can choose from carne asada, carnitas, adobada, etc., I had the carnitas. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=39OU34iaB1QhLLngaKgjyg) The 3 tacos on double mini corn tortillas will nicely filled with carnitas, guacamole, and salsa fresca. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=hKBtaOb1DniGDVhWgts50g) The carnitas were good and so was the guacamole. Their red hot sauce went very well with the tacos. The tortillas were good but they were missing that nice stoned corn flavor. Could of been better. For $3.50 these tacos were a good deal and tasted good. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=XEwcifi8Eft3poO2_QOW8Q The place is a little dingy and could use an upgrade. One may consider this place a borderline whole in the wall, but the food is good.

    Caldo de res
    Jamul P.

    The Wendy's was full so I said let's give em a try, I am actually amazed with the caldo de res (beef soup) reminded me of a trip to the Mexican Sinaloa Sierra is gosh damn goood!!! With tortillas , rice and chopped onions cilantro on the side , and a nice huge Mexican medio litro Coca Cola , left the bowl empty , I can build a house in half an hour with the energy I got from this lunch !! Let's get back to work

    California Burrito

    This spot has one of the best carne asada in town. I kid you not this shit is like nothing you've had in a long time. Check it out and see for yourself. Compliments to the chef as well.

The restaurant was busy when we got there but was pretty quiet by the time we left. Love that right when you get there they drop off chips and salsa and they never hesitate to refill as needed. We got a round of margs and was happy that they could make it spicy at no extra charge. Delicious as always. The reason for the low rating this time was my food. I got the panela a la plancha, super excited to try this grilled cheese in a salad. First, my food came out significantly later than my group. The waiter even made a comment and had to go back and check in. Second, when I got it there was no cheese to be seen. It was pretty much a ton of arugula and a small amt of toppings. Pretty disappointing.

We were having great conversation and catching up, just the normal things you do when you have a "girl date". Anyways, we ordered another shot to take as we were vibing out and enjoying our ceviche when we were told that "we've had too much", since we had not yet ordered our entrees. I have been here more than 20xs in the last 6 months. I've been HAMMERED, I've been sober, you get the point. Never once have I been told of this "policy". Never once have I been cut off or warned. From the second we got here, the bartender was rude. He wasn't the main bartender, but that's neither here nor there. Every interaction we had, he never made eye contact, never engaged, never NOT seemed annoyed to be there. Anyways, after being told that we needed to order entrees before we were able to get another beverage, I asked to speak to the manager. She came over a few minutes later trying to explain responsible service to us...my best friend and I are bartenders and have been since we were in our 20's. We're now in our 40's and are not sloppy. Anyways!! I am not sure where this came from; had we been acting intoxicated and embarrassing, not another word would have been said. We would have left with our tails tucked and many apologies would have been given. We will never go back. This "policy" has never been enforced in all of the times I have patronized the restaurant, and this fully ruined our evening. We understand responsible service and how to appropriately gauge a customer's level of intoxication and never once were we acting in a manner that would warrant such actions from their employees. Very disappointed by this experience.

Needed a quick bite to eat so to Yelp i went ... saw Chuys had some good looking food and reviews so we took the 9 minute drive from Parkway Plaza after some holiday shopping. Upon walking in there is about nine bar stools aligned the L shaped bar table for sitting along the left wall/window. Place was spotless, super clean with pretty dope street art to your right! The woman at the register was very nice and the cook seemed to carry a great attitude as well. I noticed many customer coming were returning customers which is something I always like to see. California burrito was packed with meat and cooked to absolute perfection. I could actually taste the carne asada over everything which is honesty rare for me. The guacamole was not oozing out nor was it overpowering the taste of the whole burrito. The size of this thing was as about the size of my forearm! Filled me up for sure!! 6 rolled tacos with guacamole, sour cream and cheese was also perfectly cooked. Perfect amount of crunch on the ends and not too soft in the middles. Plenty of meat in the rolled tacos as well, which you could also taste well through all the toppings! We'll definitely be seeing you again soon Chuy's!!!

I ordered a California burrito and asked to swap in adobado pork. No hesitation, no side‑eye, just a nod and a "you got it." That alone puts them ahead of half the shops in the county. The burrito itself delivered. The adobado came through with that deep red glow and smoky tang, the kind of flavor that feels like it's been tended to, not rushed. Fold that into fries, cheese, and a tortilla doing quiet, reliable work, and you get a bite that hits all the right notes. Rich, bright, salty, satisfying. It's a simple thing done well, which is exactly what you want from a neighborhood taco shop. Chuy's isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. They're just making a damn good burrito and treating you right while they do it.

The burrito was very delicious, I liked the little shredded lettuce and pico that they had on the side of the plate. If it was in the burrito that would have made it even better. It was nice that they didn't just have the pulled pork, but bits of fat as well. Texturally was nice. My mom said she would have liked a little more crisp on the carnitas. The salsas were restocked and delicious! I loved the green one and the extra hot was a fav of my mom. I also really enjoyed the carrots! The only thing was while I was eating the burrito, I bit into something hard and I took it out -- it was a piece of a bone. It was shaped a little bigger than a pebble. I didn't know it was possible to have bones in carnitas/a burrito. Idk if that's the norm, because when we mentioned it-- the woman working basically casually continued her napkin sorting or whatever and said "oh okay.." lol this made me think this was just another everyday occurrence. Although, a little more acknowledgment would have been better on her end. For this specific experience, 3 stars, but truly a 4-5 star taco shop! Overall, minus the bone, and the dry response...the food was great! Salsas fresh and restocked, they had way more options than usual. The horchata was a little too sweet, but overall refreshing. They have a large menu, so be sure to check it out.

Walking into Panchos, you are immediately greeted by a bright, colorful and welcoming scene. It gives you the feeling of walking into your tía's favorite old school restaurant. The tables and benches are dark wood. And there is papel picado hanging. It's charming. You get the feeling that Panchos has been around for decades. Apparently, the restaurant has been open here since 2004. And the real star? Our server, whose name I cannot recall. He was equal parts waiter and comedian, a very kind man who was highly attentive and extremely helpful. If you like spicy salsa, be sure to tell him to bring you the good stuff from the back (after he offers you bland Tapatio). The menu is absolutely massive. They have breakfast burritos, breakfast plates, chips and fries, shrimp plates, soups (check with the team about offerings, like caldo de res), tortas, quesadillas and a kid's menu and more. I highly recommend the cheese enchiladas and the chile relleno. The chile relleno is especially good. It isn't your soggy, cafeteria-style relleno drowned in red sauce and regret. It is the best comfort food, and Panchos does it well. There is a generous melt of Oaxacan cheese, the batter is very light without being greasy. And then there was the ranchero sauce! Tangy tomatoes, a hint of garlic, and a tiny bit of chili. So very good. Also popular on the menu is a pitcher of margaritas, which you should plan on sharing with three others. The mango margarita is also quite nice. And they also have a Baileys & Coffee. And you can easily get a delicious, filling meal for $20 or less. All around, a great place.
