    Well done chili cheese fries with onion.  They PACKED this container.  Solid brick of chili cheese fries.  So bomb!
    Tim S.

    I have a hard time going to LA and NOT getting Tommy's. I am addicted to their chili cheese fries, and they are one of my favorite things to eat on this good Earth. I was driving home to Phoenix on the 10, and saw this one right off the freeway. I stopped inside and placed my order for a chili cheese fries with onions, well done. Paid my money, waited a few minutes and took them out to my car to dig in. How were they? Bomb! Chili Cheese Fries- Tommy's chili cheese fries are the best. None better, anywhere. They are always fantastic. This particular Tommy's may have given me the largest portion of fries I have ever seen. The container they came in was legit filled to the top, like a huge brick full of chili cheese fries. The fries were perfectly crisp and well done, and they piled so much chili and cheese on these things, I'm surprised I didn't get any on my shirt. So freaking delicious! The guy who took my order and the lady who made my food were very nice! Will definitely come back to this one as its right off the 10 on my way back to Phoenix.

    Right off the bat, the place is like if In-and-Out and Wienerschnitzel had a baby. Tommy's started two years earlier in LA than In-and-Out so it's actually the older of the two. Though compared to the OG location, this place feels much corporate but there's indoor dining. Though, a bonus tip is to check their socials for any promos prior. The interior and color palatte of the place are very similar. The main difference is that Tommy's has more menu items and all of them center around chilli. Which is why Tommy's is slighty more expensive due to the added chili that's typically the default. It's a good opinion for late night if you think In-and-Out is too crowded. The chili is decent. Compared to other places, the burger and chilis are greasier (which is how I like it) but it does seem certain facilities are dated. Not as good as the one in Rampart but it scratches an itch.

    05/28/2025 Came in and ask if Maribel was working today? Maribel is the Manager and always makes me my order. She knows how to please. When I asked for extra chili my order gets overlooked and I'm often disappointed. I showed Eric a picture of how Maribel made my order. Huge Props to Eric for making my order the way I liked it.

    when did Tommy's get so expensive?! dammmm!

    I haven't had Thomas in such a long time and I was craving it. There's one right around the corner from my job. I was really amazed on how high those prices are Now!! I ordered the cheeseburger special with added chili cheese it was close to $20.. The hamburger bun was super hard. I only ate the hamburger patty and even that was OK chili cheese fries are always good. Hit the spot fresh.... I'm not saying all locations but definitely this location. I will not be coming to. I do have to say they do have the freshest unsweetened iced tea and it's freshly brewed... This establishment is pretty clean. If I was to come back, it would just be for the chili fries and iced tea..

    Basic chili, basic burger, basic fries, and coke. Will come up $14 for #1 combo. Inflation or highway robbery? I really wished i had gone across the street at Burger Joint that advertised $1.99 hamburger. I feel bad that i got stuck with basic corporate garbage. Service was fast and efficient, however. I just wished the price matched the product... which, unfortunately, did not. I recommend any other burger because at $14 a pop for a combo, I'd rather cook up a frozen burger patty. Just my opinion. Lower the prices, or people will stop coming.

    Dirty counter I notified the staff but was never cleaned.

    Food quality here has gone down. Been coming here for 20+ years and it has been always good. The past two visits have been very disappointing. Old bread, cold burgers, even the chili was cold and I dined in. Will have to make a trip to the Whittier location from now on. Plus the soda counter was dirty and it wasn't busy in the restaurant.

    Flat on one side. Should not leave kitchen looking like this.

    I ordered a 'small' catering order meant to serve 8-10 people but still have leftovers two days…read morelater!! The fried chicken was very flavorful, a little salty, with a thicker coating reminiscent of KFC. The rice and beans were a big hit, and I think I liked it even more than the chicken. White corn tortillas were pretty standard and perfect for making "tacos" with everything. I appreciated the bottle of ketchup and cholula than came with the order too. Even more, I was able to adjust my pick up time (slight error on my part) and they were able to oblige (after contacting the WhatsApp number). This location is relatively new, complete with a drive thru and ample parking. The crew is comprised of a bunch of hardworking, diligent ladies who are doing their best to ensure a clean, well-stocked, and friendly environment. I will definitely be back :)

    Ugh, terrible experience with online order…read more This is my first pollo campero. Saw it opened and had long crazy line day after day, so I figured I'll try it once the hype died down. Placed order on the website online. It said food would be ready in 10 minutes. Cool, or so I thought. Went there to pickup and they didn't even start making the order yet. Then 15 minutes later they told us the chicken breast wasn't available and asked if they could substitute with thigh, or we thought maybe that's what the guy said. They couldn't speak English and we couldn't speak Spanish. Go figure. Food was out 20 minutes after that. Seriously, I could've gotten something else that's not fast food and probably better for my arteries, within that time. What intrueged me was the yucca fries. I liked it but it lacked crunch, compared so some that I've had. Fries, omg probably the saddest, driest, limpiest, fries I've ever had. Even my toddler didn't like it (and he normally gobble up fries). The spicy chicken sandwich and grilled chicken were good. Crispy chicken on the fried + nice seasoning on the grilled. The chicken is the only reason I'm not giving this place a 1 or 2 stars.

The ambiance would have been good, if it wasn't for the tv that was in a channel with a movie. The problem was the previous and ads, in my opinion, were not appropriate for the younger audience, especially not good for little ones. About the service, not rude, but not as friendly as expected. I understand the only lady was busy, but didn't bother to check on us and the food wasn't ready for both of us at the same time, so with all the fans on the ceiling and the floor fans my food got cold by the time my husbands pork chops arrived. It is wheelchair accessible, but there ate only booths, so I'm not sure of the wheelchair in either isle it would block the traffic.

I will most definitely return to try the green chili burrito. The menu includes tacos, burritos, taquitos, tostadas, quesadillas, hamburgers, onion rings, and fries ($2 extra to add chili cheese). Andrew provided excellent customer service and let me know right off the bat that it's a cash-only business. I decided to try the most popular item, which is the deep fried bean and cheese burrito. It had a nice crunch and I would say the beans are made in-house. For $2 I had a side order of taquitos so I could have some guacamole, which was nice and chunky, not a watered-down thin sauce. The taquitos did not taste homemade. Notes: - Outdoor seating - Picnic Tables - Free parking - Check out their special prices on Monday and Tuesdays. It's a real bargain. Sincerely, Rosemary

I probably should have done my research. Far be it from me to tell Taco Treat how to make a burrito. I just wasn't braced for the crunch. For the record, it was okay. Not a revelation, but it was $4, so I'm not going to stand here and workshop it. The real mystery is whether a non-fried burrito exists on this menu. Only one way to find out.

Inside the place is more vibrant and clean. Photos of menu items are astound the window. My parents wanted to come try it after so many years and we went as a family of 6 which they have traveled mainly for 4 adults. We ordered a variety of food items such as zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwich with onion rings, fish and chips dinner, and ice cream. The staff were friendly and always available, since we can go to the ordering station to ask questions, we asked for picked jalapeños and carrots to go with our food.

My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name.

Parking in the front was tough, I was lucky to find a spot but I'm sure there's street parking in the street next door. I walked in and it was DARK but light at the same time. Very stuffy indoor as well, with some seating but all of them were taken so I had to order and go home to eat. I didn't realized they had less variety, so instead of getting two 3 item combos, I had to change the second to a 2 item combo instead. The dishes were almost gone so I ended up taking the rest while the fresh ones were on the way and since there was a line I didn't want to hold them up. I got chow mein with teriyaki chicken, potato chicken, and mushroom chicken. Then for the other I got white rice with orange chicken and teriyaki chicken. I wanted their char siu pork but it was $2 extra and I thought "what if I didn't like it" so my mind was made up to skip a 3rd item. Another thing I'm not used to was that they added the 3rd item on top of everything. I'm used to the third item being separated but surprised they all fit. Usually the places pack it too full that even 2 items won't close without overflow. They had a POS system instead of the old cash register so that was fancy, I still paid and tipped in cash. But you can also add tip to your total in the touchpad. It took me 10min to drive home and the food was still warm. It did leak a bit (not sure where the sauce came from) but I wish I waited for the fresh batch because the chicken was dry and tough, they all had great flavor other than the texture.
