Always friendly service, the best hours, and great food…read more Good salsa bar where most of the salsas have a good kick and there's good variety too. The California burrito is excellent. Everything comes out hot and fresh similar to any of the other "ertos" type Mexican spots. The location is sort of hidden in an awful little shopping center but adds to the mystique of the place.

So I can see why Adolfo's has such high reviews!…read more 5/5 stars Friendly/Helpful Customer service 5/5 Food Taste 4.5/5 Variety of Menu (They only have large tortillas so they can only do large size tacos - not the traditional street tacos aka mini tacos - and Also if you order a burrito for your kids it's going to be big adult size - they also don't have kids meals you need to order a la carte) But they do have a lot of menu options 5/5 stars Cleanliness 5/5 Free&Easy parking (located off the 5fwy at El Toro) 4/5 Ambiance - for what it is, it is nice and clean = there are 4 booths and 2 tables you can sit at inside. Obviously not expecting high end here (Also it is order and dine in only = NO drive thru) Favorite things: -The Carnitas is amazing! Crispy outside and flavorful inside. I just wish they had mini tacos (only large tortillas) and next time I'll ask for only cilantro & onions since I prefer street tacos over the ones with guacamole & everything....) -Service! I've never had service so nice at one of these fast casual Mexican restaurants!

We love Raising Cane's, and this location did not disappoint!…read more Our food came out in about a minute; hot and fresh! Chicken was juicy, fries were crispy, toast was well buttered and wasn't just white bread, and tea had good flavor. The staff are kind, and keep the restaurant clean! You can tell that they value the customer experience at this raising canes. If you're driving down I-5 and are craving some good chicken, head to this Raising Canes.

I don't get it. I gave Raising Cane's a try strictly because…read moreof the hype. So many people are talking about how good their chicken is so just like me others I given in and headed for the drive-through. Picked up their six piece combo and dug in. It's not that good. Very greasy, deep fried in very cheap, badly smelling oil, I can't say that this was an enjoyable meal at all. If you are in the mood for breaded fried chicken, just go to Whole Foods. You will pick up way better quality chicken fingers at their hot bar for about the same price. The taste is exactly the same, but the quality is just unmatched comparing to this place. So now I can say I've been here tried this, but will never be back and I don't recommend this. Also, what's up with that itty bitty tiny side of coleslaw? Can that thing be even considered a side dish? Again, just go to Whole Foods and load up on it. I don't understand people who choose Raising Cane's, sorry.

YAAYY!! Absolutely delicious Halal chicken sandwich!…read more Ordered to go Crimson sandwich with Medium heat , fries on the sides. Drove home to Irvine. Still warm with juicy chicken. Totally returning to get the High heat level ! Highly recommended

Embarrassed we took our overseas friends to try this Halal fried chicken restaurant. We came in 20…read moreminutes after opening. There were a couple of of people in front of us ordering & the restaurant itself was completely empty. After ordering, we were told it would be a 15 minute wait time. Not too bad, so we decide to wait inside to dine in the restaurant. It was a hot day and the ventilation inside the restaurant was not working well with the hot fryers going off. And we definitely felt the warmth in there. We also ordered some soda, which was just a soda machine with some lemonade dispensers on the side. The mango lemonade was horrendous and way out of balance. The "soda" was basically tasteless carbonation as if they forgot to refill the soda machine with the soda syrup. After 30 minutes, we noticed that they were fulfilling the big ticket online/delivery orders first. We were STILL the only people at the restaurant WITHOUT food. All of this would have been annoying but acceptable if the food was good. However, it was very unremarkable. The food was somehow salty but flavorless, despite the considerable amount of spice. The chicken was more oil than crunch. We ordered the crimson burrito, chicken and waffles, and half a dozen chicken wings. 2 stars because the crimson burrito was somewhat enjoyable and the sauce was good.

Hole in the Wall Burger absolutely lives up to its name. Run by a mom, dad, and son, this place is…read morepumping out pure local perfection. We got the Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy chicken sandwich, and brick fries. They do their own custom blend in the burger so it's perfectly and deliciously fatty. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the cut was thick. The fries are cross cut tempura battered, and the brick style includes the mom's special sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. If you look at the menu from years past, you'll see that the price has only changed by $1 in the past 5 or 6 years. It's very impressive that they can keep the prices low so the average joe isn't priced out of a humble burger joint. Much respect to the family that owns this place. Y'all just earned a customer for life.

Hole in the Wall Burger in Lake Forest is one of those spots that just never misses. The burger is…read morejuicy, packed with flavor, and tastes like everything was prepped fresh and with intention. It always hits. What really takes it over the top though is their house sauce, often called the Hole in the Wall sauce. It is next level. Bold, savory, and way more interesting than your standard burger sauce. Do yourself a favor and order an extra side because dipping the fries in it is non negotiable. My mom went with the spicy chicken sandwich and it was great. The spice level is totally manageable, flavorful without being overpowering. If you like a little more heat, grabbing a side of peppers is the move. It adds that extra kick without drowning out the sandwich. On top of the food, this place really shines because of the people. It is family owned and you can feel it. Everyone is genuinely friendly and excited to serve you, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is clean, quiet, and comfortable with good vibes all around. This is one of those reliable spots you keep coming back to because it just does everything right. Highly recommend.

The restaurant in Lake Forest has plenty of seating in indoor and outdoor, and the staff are really nice. On this occasion I had Fries with pastrami and it was delicious!

The generous portion of small size onion rings were barely warm. Not good at all. Normally, we would have gone back and asked for fresh ones but we eat so few, we let it go. Our drink order never made it on the ticket. We went back and were cheerfully assisted. Finally, the dining room needed attention. Normally, there's an amazing woman constantly cleaning up but neither she nor anyone else was present. There were several messy tables that needed cleaning. Urp. There's something magical about this location that was sorely missing today. The Hat's Pastrami Dips and onion rings are a rare treat but today felt like punishment. We will come back when we start Jonesing for pastrami but don't think it'll be anytime soon. Our arteries may thank us but we are bummed.

This one somehow topped it, and I continue to be impressed. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, with an abundance of savory flavors that made it effortless to finish every bite- or in this case, every bit from the takeout bowl. Paired with an unsweetened passion fruit black tea, it made for what I'd consider the perfect lunch. It felt light yet satisfying, never heavy on the palate, and I was able to get right back to work without the usual post-meal sluggishness. A super solid healthy lunch choice. I'm a fan!

I can't remember the name of the guy who rang us up, but he was super nice, friendly and personable. My only negative was it smelled super bad outside (kind of like sewage). Not sure what that was, but it made the experience less enjoyable and the inside was so cold that it was also not ideal too. But, regardless, I like the food and drink options and the whole vibe.

Awesome food. Awesome service. My kids love this place. Reaper. That's scary…read more Overall I finally find a place that beats chick filet. Should get rid of that tip screen on the panel. I'm not against tipping because the staff there is awesome. Leave a jar. Tipping before you get your food is insane. Maybe I'm too old school but we get bombarded by it and it's gotten to a point where it's silly. Love this place and love the service and best of all, great food. The new tipping option on a screen should go away. Half the people in USA think it's out of control. Just saying.
