    Kung pao chicken and super greens
    Karen C.

    Ordered my favorite Kung pao chicken yesterday. It was fresh, hot, and delicious! I was planning to get 2 large items but the steam table was kind of light and I didn't want to wait. I requested a sample of a beef dish that was ready - don't remember which it was now CRS lol. But was told they don't give samples. After questioning the practice I was told they could give me a sample to take with me. I was confused by what the difference was and was told they don't hand samples to customers anymore since Covid. So basically you can get a sample but can't eat it near them. Wow. So I left with 1 item instead of 2 - oh and the sample. See pic. Service was interesting. The lady (short in height) who helped me just stood there initially without saying anything then after a long silence said, "you decided?" No greeting, smile, or thank you - robotic-like. I will undoubtedly go again.

    Apparently you can make over $100k working for Panda Express!

    Ordered through their App on the drive over from across town. Ordered a 2 item plate (chow mein, honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken). It was ready 5 minutes before the expected time. When I got there the restaurant was pretty busy with dine-in and drive-thru customers. Had to wait a few minutes for a diner to pay for their food and another person in front of me who was picking up an order. The lady who helped me was very nice. Order was ready as the App told me. Pretty good experience this visit, but overall service and food quality is hit and miss at this location.

    Line is crazy long

    We ordered the Family combo that came in a box and it was good. They got the correct items and it was a good amount for a good price. It was also ready on time when we ordered in the app.

    Sorry excuse of food

    Make sure you keep an eye on how much food they give you. One of the workers there makes sure they give you less than a full scoop of the orange chicken... THE ORANGE CHICKEN. I just opened my box and this is what I got. How goddamn ridiculous.

    Don't know why this Panda has such low ratings. This is my favorite stop on the way to Sac from the Bay. Perfect midpoint for a snack on the long drive home. I normally go through the drive through but this time I decided to go in as I had to use the restroom. Everything was cleaned and all the food looked fresh. There was a little crowd but everything went rather smoothly. I sat down and eat a little bit of my food before I went on the road again. I'm glad I left the Applebees earlier because I really enjoyed my meal. Place is located right off the freeway so it's easy to get back on. Would definitely say to come visit this location whenever in the area. It's clean and chill spot. Always a good meal for me.

    We were in Downtown Vacaville for an event that ended at 8pm and resorted to Yelp for place to eat…read more Falafel & Gyro was still open, just over a mile away; and with a 4.8 Yelp rating, this place intrigued me even more. It was a 5 minute drive, located in a small shopping center. The left side of the store is facing the parking lot while the entrance is on other side. Plenty of parking. We were welcomed by the owner, Safi. Everything on their menu was reasonably priced. I initially ordered the Combo Plate and lamb & beef Gyro; then after I paid, I saw the Philly Cheesesteak and had a craving for that instead. I asked if I could still change my order and pay the difference in cash, Safi changed my order and told me not to worry about the difference. We dined in, a few minutes later our food came with generous portions and absolutely delicious! We were also given orange slices and complimentary baklava. The baklava was so flaky and not soaked in syrup which, I like. I asked if they make their own baklava and was told that it's ordered from Sacramento to support another local business! Thank you Yelp Fam for the recommendation! I too recommend this place if ever in Vacaville.

    Not as impressed as I was when it used to be Falafel Corner. The food portion is just as huge as I…read moreremember, but the food was alright. I got the combo plate; hummus had no flavor but it's probably to balance out the saltiness of the meat. Husband got the falafel plate; falafels were a bit dry. They never had really good ventilation in there, so I suggest taking your food to go.

    In n out is one of our favorites. We love the burgers and animal style fries…read more Service and ambiance similar across locations, and setup for a good experience regardless of which spot you stop at. This location can get super busy and long drive through lines. That is my only reason for a 4 star. Nothing bad to say about the food or quality - just can be a bit longer wait time here than the other locations in woodland and Davis. Recommend in n out!

    Sorry to say I am reluctantly done eating at In-N-Out restaurants…read more After a lengthy drive and stopping for a hopefully pleasant casual lunch it turned into an absolutely awful experience. Finding parking at this location was a nightmare. It's similar to other In-N-Out locations. Not enough and the layout is impossible to navigate. Plus the line for the drive up window blocks many of the available spaces. We, like others, had to park in a parking lot across the street... no doubt that business loves that spillover??? First using the restroom was disgusting. It was filthy, not maintained and way too small for the volume of people. As a model they should know better by now. Does any staff check it occassionally? It was 1:30 on a weekday and they just couldn't keep up with the orders and the lines didn't move and it got incredibly backed up. Folks were getting super irritated. Then the bedlam of finding a place to sit and eat. People hovered over tables waiting for that last bite to grab a place. Children ran around unruly, screaming and yelling (OK, that's a parent issue, but staff should be trained as they walk around to tell them that's not acceptable). Then, the most disappointing part- the food. I'm sorry it's not what it used to be. The volume is apparently sacrificing quality. What happened? Even the fries were soggy and greasy. I should give it one star, but this has been a long standing mainstay for quick quality fast food. Sorry, no more. I left this experience upset and with a lump in my stomach. They had a model that worked but didn't expand the corporate 'mold' to meet the demand.

    We first discovered this place about a year ago and, tbh, we were not immediately impressed…read more.. mostly because we ordered the wrong things, I think... But... The service was incredible. One of us ordered a salad and she did not like the dressing it came with. One of the employees (Willis) overheard her mention it and was Johnny on the spot offering to remake the salad with a different dressing. Months passed and we went back. I immediately noticed how friendly the staff was. Like crazy friendly. Like... maybe they even enjoy their jobs friendly (in food service that is pretty rare). This time Jerry took our order. Super friendly and interactive. I mentioned that he seemed really happy. He informed us that one of his favorite artists was dropping a new album that night and couldn't wait to hear it. We went back a few days later and Jerry was there again. I asked him how he liked the album and then we got into a discussion of music. We discovered we had very similar interests. Anyway, we are now very regular customers. I have met Jerry, Willis, one of their new hires, Miah, and their new Manager, Travis. Every time I go in, if I meet someone new, they are just as friendly as everyone else. I am slowly getting to know them all. Also, I now have my favorites. The Almost Fried Chicken is really good as well as the Chicken Parm. If you are looking for a place with a positive atmosphere and good eats, be sure to put this on your list. I just want to add that I've now been there several times since writing this review and every time, without fail, the interactions have been unbelievably positive. It is SO obvious that they care about their customers. There are people I forgot to mention, also, so wanted to add extra shout-outs to Sierra, one of the managers, who obviously knows how to treat her employees and her customers. And I recently met Brae Lynn who seems to have been a fantastic addition. It's gotten to the point where I'd almost rather eat there than eat at home. In short, if you've had a bad day, head on over to Mendocino Farms and get a shot of positivity. I'm pretty sure that's free. The food is a bonus! Why go to some fast food place where people hate their jobs? We know it. They know it. They know we know it.

    We ordered delivery last weekend and had a really great experience. The food arrived in about 30…read moreminutes, which was faster than expected. The salads were fresh and really good, and we tried a few different sandwiches that were all very tasty and flavorful. Everything tasted fresh and well made.

The food is good and they make you feel welcome. Ambiance is simple and like what you might expect at a well run family owned diner. The restaurant is clean and it is calming to enter. I looked, and every customer appeared to be really enjoying their meal...It had that kind of ambiance. Hospitality is a very welcoming 6 stars. They are attentive and treat you nicer than you expect at a business. The food is served in very generous portions and they make a good, house made, horchata. I recommend ordering some. If grandkids are listening, I say the food is pulled up a bit by you're hospitality. Pico de gallo? A blended maybe cooked tomato chili salsa? Freshly chopped onion and cilantro? The rice is a bit bland, but when combined with the red wet burrito sauce, it is fantastic. I think a drizzle of that sauce should be on the inside of every burrito. I am a foodie, and I am giving you a full five stars overall, but recommend a little more fresh veggie. I only write reviews if establishments are excellent or somehow a disappointment. Tacos Jalisco is excellent and deserves your business.
