The food is authentic Mexican and Daniel is a kind and fantastic chef! They have American food, as well, like burgers, but we come for the Mexican food.

Surprising location - it's inside of a gas station. Did not read reviews ahead of time, but just…read morenoticed that it had 4.5 stars on Yelp. Remembering that it had a high star count encouraged us to give this place a chance. All that being said, the food was pretty good, there was a small seating area, and the lady that helped was very nice. We ordered the birria torta, one chicken taco, one steak taco, and chicken strips with fries. Living in the Bay Area for most of my life (Hayward and San Jose), I can confirm that what we ordered was pretty tasty and worth the stop if you're craving Mexican on your journey. Two critiques - my husband says his fries could have been salted more, and I think something to level up this business would be to sell agua frescas or horchata. My phone was dead while we stopped there, so, sorry, no pictures. I give this place 4 out of 5 stars - food is pretty good, but I was looking for more flavor in the beef and broth of my birria torta with consummé.

We ordered chili cheese burger's with grilled onions and jalapeños and chili cheese fries with grilled onions and jalapeños as well and washed it all down with Mr. Pibb. Yes they have Mr. Pibb! The best soda EVER and hard to find. Our delicious burgers were flavorful and juicy and NOT thin cardboard. Chili cheese fries were amazing too. Great people, great food!!! We will be making this little hidden gem a must stop, when passing through Yermo. Thank you Richard and Mary. God bless you both, your mom and this special place too! Also, thanks Richard for recommending Mules Canyon Rd for trail for off roading. We went off of your recommendation and had a blast! Thanks again!!! See ya soon!

Just beyond EddieWorld is a local run down burger stand. It may look deserted, but I assure you…read moreit's still operational. If you're tired of the tourist crowds and lines at EddieWorld, I recommend this place for the convenience. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with fries based on the friendly guy's recommendation inside the order window. The $14.00 price was reasonable. Service was slow, though. I guess it's because he's the only guy there taking orders and making the food. By the time I took a bite of the pastrami sandwich, the wait was worth it. The taste is what you'd expect from a "typical" pastrami sandwich made fresh. I've had some phenomenal pastramis in my lifetime, and when I say "typical", it's a complement.

The blend was simple and yummy. It was big and I could only eat 1/2. The salsa was spicy and also flavorful. My partner had a torta and said the mess to eat it was worth it! Again, another good decision. The staff were friendly and helpful! We had a dog and so they let us take 2 chairs outside to eat. Thank you! The "ambience"was perfect for a late lunch as we were passing through town. I highly recommend this restaurant. As someone else said, don't let the location in a strip mall stop you.

I'm so glad we found it. The owner and the employees were so nice and welcome and the food was absolutely delicious. We both had Huevos Rancheros so yummy and the price was very good considering the amount of food and flavor. Don't blink and don't discount this little place. It doesn't look like much in this mostly closed strip mall or you will miss this super cute place. They seem to do very good business just, lots of take out from the gym goers from the gym next doors. Make the stop. You won't be disappointed!

But that's where the pros end. Service was sub par. It's kind of sad when you can tell the employees don't really want to be there. They were busy, but the level of attention to detail just wasn't there. The sit-down restaurant area was not very clean and it was noticeably warmer in that part of the building. There were gnats flying around inside. The food wasn't very good. I felt bad because I had talked up my previous experiences at A&W Root Beer stands to my kids, but this location left us kind of unfulfilled. Maybe other locations still serve the fresh root beer in frosted glass mugs, but the gal just looked at me like I was crazy when I asked. The "fresh" root beer had a lot of carbonation and foam, yet somehow still tasted flat.

Once you get towards that area on I-15 with the worlds largest thermometer right next to the 127 Hwy entrance you'll see this restaurant which kind of looks like a diner. If you're planning a pit stop to sit down and eat this is one of the better food spots to do so, especially considering all the other options are crummy fast food chains or gas station hot dogs and snacks.

Hello, First off, I…read morehave to say that we absolutely love your place! We have been customers for several years. I feel like we need to bring this to your attention. Me and my husband, along with the a group of friends were in your place of business last Saturday night to watch Red Rabbit, who we love and follow. Around 12 or 1230 we noticed some commotion at the bar. Much to our surprise, your "new manager" was causing quite the issue with his boyfriend. Earlier in the night, he seemed to be actually managing the bar, however, at this time he was what seemed to be belligerent drunk. This went on for some time, even continuing out to the patio with customers trying to end the chaos. He was cussing, yelling at his boyfriend and demanding the Bartender serve him another drink. Once his boyfriend, was able to get him to leave, we even witnessed him punching a chair on his way out of the bar! I don't know the owners of this bar. I think they would like to know what happens when they are not there. This place used to be a great place to hang out with family and friends. This is not the first time we've witnessed drunk behavior from this manager. I have to say,, your Bar has a couple really good bartenders. And that is a reason we continue to come back. If this is the way the new vibe is in this bar, we will find another place to hang out. I truly hope that it gets handled. It is not fair to the customers, nor the rest of your staff.

This time around, instead of our usual blizzards, my 7 year old and I (it was just the two of us this time) decided on chicken strips and fries for him and the backyard burger and onion rings for me. My son devoured his meal and wanted more. But the star of the show was the burger. OMG. I've had fast food burgers before, but the two patties with cheese and super fresh lettuce and tomatoes really stole the show. The produce was crisp, the patties charred just right and the cheese melted. The brioche or whatever they call it bun was warm but crispy on the inside. I was bummed I had to eat this burger on the go. I really was enjoying it and would rather have stopped to eat it, but we wanted to make good time back to OC. The place is relatively clean and the people were friendly and polite. There's ample parking and the service is fairly quick (we order, then make our pit stop in the restroom, wash hands, etc. and when we come out, it's just a minute or two before our order is ready). For an out of the way burger and ice cream joint, this DQ is a must stop. I'm only bummed there isn't one closer to home. I sure do miss that burger...
