    My order
    Shanoah N.

    Always a delicious chili cheese burger. Tried the Caliente hot dog. It was definitely caliente, spicier than I thought it would be. Chili cheese fries are always my absolute favorite. Chili cheese burger is always a must as well. All the me workers were super nice and helpful. This place is classic and still looks and reminds me of eating there when I was a kid.

    This shows/proves potential for each and every store.

    This particular Tommy's is special to me because it was the first time I ever had a Tommy Burger, back in 1969. It was crowded then and crowded now. Just as tasty as ever. I'm wondering how such a long-standing successful money making operation looks like a garbage dumpster? It is shocking at what a dump this place looks like. Bathrooms are always an indicator of what the owner cares about his image and customer experience. These guys obviously don't give a crap. Yet, with all that being said, the food and service are amazingly on point! A Tommy's should always be a 5 star, no excuse. Hopefully management will spend some of their gold bars on fixing this place up, one day!

    Went into Tommy's Saturday night 8/29 to purchase 3 burgers and 4 chili cheese fries , when I arrived home I unwrap my burgers and found a piece of hair hanging out of one of my burgers and the other burger had a piece of hair melted into the cheese, I called the restaurant to ask for a refund, manager said if I don't bring the item back I will not receive a refund. Will never be coming back here ! Management pls to better !

    Anytime we're in town, a visit to Tommy's is a must. Chili cheese fries and burgers are always good, but my favorite is the chili cheese hot dog, That wiener has got to have a natural casing because it's got a good snap, the chili, cheese, onions, and a whole tomato on top all work in harmony. Add a bite of chili to cleanse your palate and it's all good. The staff are always quick. The location is in the hood, but that's what makes it taste better.

    Ordered through the drive thru; it was quick & they got our order correct. Their chili cheese is the best thing about this place & it's nothing special tbh. Their burger buns and meat are super dry & their patties are not snag burgers but are super thin. They upcharge so you can get a thicker meat patty 1/4 pounder Haven't come here since hs & probably won't be back unless it's super late at night & nothing else is open

    I live in Louisiana and I have to be on vacation in LA to get my fix. I left LAX and headed straight here. The burgers are excellent! Thick slices of tomato pickles onion mustard and a healthy dose of chili! The staff is right there serving food from the counter and getting it to you hot and fresh! They have plenty napkins (I used 5 or 6) and they keep the place clean. It's well lit plenty of seating. I'm gonna come back on my way home, and visit another Tommy's in Palmdale too!!!

    Chili mess and reciept

    I go two to three times a week for the specials. Today I ordered two double cheese burgers with no chili, Extra tomantoes and pickles. One chili cheese Hot Dog, light chili. What I get, heavy chili..... scrape off the chili, no onions now, no cheese. He repeated the order and said heavy chili. I said no light chili. Oh that's what I meant Ez chili.... Bull THE KID GOT EVERYWHERE. Thanks

    Hey, living in the bay has me craving Tommy's because it's not around . I went to my hometown Tommy's and it was a great moment in time, especially because I happen to go on the chili cheese fries special for 2.50. Taste was on point like Chris Paul

    UNPROFESSIONAL AT 4am

    Came to eat late at night here and was rushed and forced to wait 20 min in drive thru only for my order to be incorrect and have disrespectful service by this grown man. It is 4am I don't wanna argue or have a re cook I rather get my money and leave If you guys see this guy double check your food.

    This Tommy's is just as good as ever! I ALWAYS come here for the Classic breakfast sandwich with Chili! It's always loaded, messy, and delicious! Even though the price has increased a bit since the 2010s, it's definitely one of those classic places that's worth your Money!

    Todays drive-thru line took longer than I excepted, but nonetheless, I survived and left home a happy camper with my chili cheese fries and my raspberry ice tea. Still made it home warm enough for me to enjoy.

I stumbled upon Monarca on Yelp and we decided to try it out! We arrive and are nicely greeted by one of the employees at the counter. The inside was clean and well kept which we love. My wife and I ordered 2 breakfast burritos and the green chilaquiles. She got the Deluxe burrito and I got the chorizo. We bring them home and open up the bag and these things are MASSIVE! In the best way! We begin taking bites and are both amazed. Me a little bit more. I really really enjoyed this burrito. Maybe because it has rice instead of potatoes, I'm not sure, but it was delicious. My wife also really enjoyed hers; she gave it a 7.5 out of 10. I give my burrito a 9/10. Our chilaquiles were a whole other story and flavor profile. The carne asada that came with it was life changing. Whatever seasoning they used on tha carne asada is perfect. My wife was deeply impressed. The sauce, the chips, the eggs, beans and rice were all very very good as well. All complimented each other very well. If you're ever in the van Nuys area, please stop here for breakfast, you won't regret it!

I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

It's frustrating to spend money and end up with food you didn't even ask for. And then there's the sauce... I don't know what's in it, but it's so ridiculously spicy it feels like it could double as a fire starter. Completely overpowers everything and makes the food almost inedible. Between the messed-up orders and the over-the-top heat, this was a pretty disappointing experience. Definitely not rushing back anytime soon. UPDATE: (in response to owner since I cannot respond) No one put me up to this, it's an honest review. I ordered through Uber Eats so fixing the order wasn't an option. The fire starter is the Chipotle Aioli you seem to put on all your dishes (at least the items on my order.) this was not requested but is an ingredient included. Instead of a having a helpful response I get a very sarcastic tone from you. Was hoping for an overall better experience.

We're so glad we did. We got lucky that when we came for dinner the parking lot was empty. Within about 20 minutes it was completely full with people just double parked waiting for someone to leave. This is a place that I think would best serve being able to walk to or get things to go to enjoy elsewhere. However, if you were to not dine in, you wouldn't be able to experience the very friendly and helpful staff. They're all running around taking orders, prepping parts of meals, and calling out finished orders, yet they do it with such a seamless rhythm and ease. Even when they were in full blown dinner rush mode the moved with a calmness yet urgency that I wish other restaurant employees could study. The customer service was fantastic. the interior is small, but fun. It's got the feel of a 50s diner with a mural of classic Hollywood figures. Booths and tables are a bit small, but clean and look well maintained. In all, it's a great, inviting place to eat. The food was very good. It's your classic diner fair. Nothing special but they offer everything from breakfast to sandwiches to burgers and Mexican food. Breakfast is also served all day (except for waffles much to my kids' disappointment isn't served during dinner hours). My kids tried the cheeseburger and loved it. My youngest devoured his hot dog and I really enjoyed my Ruben sandwich (though I wish I could've had it on rye bread). Honestly, my only real complaint about the food was that the fries were somewhat bland and everything felt about a dollar or two too much. Though, I will admit that is just the state of restaurants these days. I am no knocking them for that, just pointing out that this isn't really going to be a cheap meal. A tasty & filling one for sure, but not cheap. In all, you can tell why Beeps has been around for decades. It knows what it is and does it well. This is a place that can become a family staple restaurant. And with their huge menu, it would take a long time to get through everything which I love.

When I finally sat down to eat, I took two bites and realized something was off. I opened the Chalupa and discovered there was no beef inside. Thinking it was just a mistake on one item, I checked the second chalupa and both were missing the main ingredient and essentially just had lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes. At that point, I was already home, hangry, and disappointed. I contacted customer service hoping for a quick resolution. The options I was given were either to wait for a call back from the store to discuss a refund or accept a $10 coupon. The initial coupon offered didn't even cover the value of the items that were made incorrectly. After expressing my concerns, I was eventually offered a $15 coupon by mail, which I accepted because I was tired of arguing about it. While I appreciate that some form of compensation was offered, I was not satisfied with the resolution process. Having to wait for a call back while I'm at work is inconvenient, and a coupon isn't the same as receiving a refund for food that wasn't prepared correctly in the first place. I essentially ended up not receiving a full refund for an order that I ultimately threw away because it was not prepared correctly. I don't think customers should have to negotiate for compensation or accept less than the amount they paid or spend additional time trying to recover money after receiving an order that was clearly wrong. **This is the worst Taco Bell location. Have had issue with other things before but never as bad as this.
