They're not breaded wings which was a nice change. *I believe cornstarch is involved. The buffalo isn't spicy, it's buttery. There's room at the bar, a side bar, and they have half-circle booths that would be perfect for groups. Bonus points for the hospitality. =)

Currently one of thirteen Johnny Rocket's branded burger and shake stands on Royal Caribbean boats,…read morethe Johnny Rockets on the Navigator of the Seas/Royal Caribbean is located on the main pool deck. The partnership began in 2007, and continues today. Our location is located outdoors, opposite to the El loco Fresh mexican cantina. It is an a la carte menu, very focused on burgers, fries and shakes. I've never tried a burger from them on a ship, but decided to try an ice cream shake (since it's not offered at any of the complementary eating places). We were on a back to back cruise on the Navigator, so once we were back on the boat, waited till 11 am (when they opened) to get two shakes (oreo and strawberry). Normally $5.50 (non-alcoholic), any previous sailing customer (i.e. someone with at least one previous sailing on RC) will get two 50% 'coupons' for a shake. Everything onboard automatically gets charged a 18% gratuity, so total for each shake was $3.54 (including the LA tax since I got it while in port). Like everything else here, it gets charged to the room, being settled up right after we disembark. The shakes were handmade, using soft serve vanilla ice cream as the base. Oreo crumbles or strawberry syrup was added along with milk, to make a pretty decent shake. Enjoying it right now while writing this review when I still have cell service before we head back to Mexico.

I got the burrito with all the meats but requested not to have ham and if I could replace it with either asada or chorizo and to my surprised they did !!!!...okay this is an extreme honest review ! Because I love breakfast burritos and because I truly think this place can have one of the best Bfast burritos if they work on some things...let me start of with the green salsa, honestly sucks ! Very bland, almost watered down (easy fix) ... the burrito was good but a little disappointing in a weird way !!!!, Listen !!!! Oddly enough it had asada trough every bite ! Plenty of sausage and bacon cooked to perfection ! But even though it didn't lack protein for some reason it was still not "packed"...trust me I'm confused as well ! "How can it have plenty of protein/meats but still be empty or soggy?" ... I have no clue ? But I'm not bashing it ! I truly think if they figure out how to pack it in better, maybe more egg and potatos? (Be careful because too much potato can kill it) ... also do not be afraid to season the eggs and potato's....a 10/10 breakfast burritos is usually packed ! When you hold it there's no flop or empty hollow tortilla.... I want to highlight again I'm not bashing it !!! It is a good burrito but can be worked on if you want it to be "top breakfast burrito in the southbay"... I give it a 7.7/10 at the moment ! Once they can Jam Pack it like ALL great breakfast burritos and work on their salsa I can see people traveling all over the southbay for this, also don't be afraid of seasoning! I know it's risky because some cooks over do it. Over all the hate for classics do to spiros legacy is not valid to me! This place was good and the fact they replaced the ham with asada shows they care. Hopefully this review didn't come off as hate because it's the complete opposite! I truly think this can be an amazing breakfast burrito !

We were thrilled to see a few menu options that were marked as vegan. Bonus points for being affordable! I completely missed their attached parking lot when I arrived and ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood, where there was ample free parking. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full and there was live music occurring on the patio. We opted to sit inside where it was a little less noisy and there was a comfy and cozy booth calling our name. The vibe was great, with fun and eclectic decor. The service was really upbeat and friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We asked him if the espresso martini had dairy in it (which I just discovered that is a thing at some places) and he double checked with the bartender to ensure there wasn't my dairy in it! I ordered that alongside a falafel wrap I must say, both of these worked so well together. The espresso martini was light and refreshing yet still had a bold flavor. The falafel was nice and crispy with a delectable inside and the tahini sauce was so rich and creamy. The meal felt indulgent yet hearty all at the same time. I left feeling so uplifted and relaxed all at the same time. Despite it being on the noisier side, I was still able to hear my friend well and it was such a great place for us to catch up. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

Overall our meal was great and there were TVs visible from anywhere you sat, which is perfect for a sports bar. My big gripe is being charged $1 for pickles to go with a sandwich. Maybe you get more if they put them directly on the sandwich, but they forgot mine so the pickles came in a ramekin. 6 pickle slices for $1.

Every recommendation she made was spot on, and whatever she shook up behind that bar should probably come with a warning label because it was that good. This place has that neighborhood hangout feel where everybody seems welcome, the food comes out hot, and the drinks keep showing up exactly when they should. Between the fries, the wings, the sundae, and Sloan's hospitality, I'd say this place earned itself a regular customer. -Health, wealth, and extra cheese to everyone involved.

I usually enjoy the food at SP Tacos, but unfortunately my experience today was very disappointing. The restaurant was extremely hot inside, with no functioning air conditioning. While the staff had set up some fans to help, they provided little relief, and it was clear that both employees and customers were very uncomfortable due to the heat. In addition, there were a significant number of flies throughout the restaurant. While I understand that proper ventilation is important for the staff, the current conditions are not appropriate for a dining environment. Employees should not have to work in such uncomfortable circumstances, and the situation also raises concerns about the overall dining experience and food safety for customers. I believe this is an issue that management should address promptly, both for the well-being of the staff and for the satisfaction of guests. read more

SP Tacos is hands down a five-star gem! The value is incredible--you get generous, delicious portions without breaking the bank. The sit down environment is inviting, clean, and comfortable, making it a great spot to relax or meet with friends. Their Al pastor tacos are the highlight and easily some of the best you'll find anywhere. The burritos and tortas blew me away with their flavor and freshness--highly recommended. One of the best parts is the huge variety of salsas, so you can customize every bite to your taste. If you're in a hurry, their takeout service is fast and super easy, making SP Tacos just as great for a quick meal on the go. I'll definitely be back and suggest SP Tacos to anyone craving top-notch Mexican food at a fantastic price read more

Nice little store but dam do they have issues with druggies and crazy people here. I ordered ahead of time some carne asada fries which on there ads say 3.99 or 4.99 but when I called they said it's 8 they gotta fix there prices. I hate that the fries have beans which I will take note if I ever go here again fries are decent. Tacos are ok they have a taco tuesday deal but they changed the meat to only a few selection and for the crazy people there are crazy people due to 711 next door but they shouldn't allow them to go in there wingstop doesn't have that issue the guy was literally asking every customer for change in front of the cashier.

Lettuce was obviously not entirely fresh as there were soggy limp leaves throughout. The grilled chicken was dry and tomato slices were about an inch thick.
