    I love Taco Pete's tacos and I'm glad they reopened. I made it right before closing and ordered 2 beef tacos and a drink. I like how their soft shell tacos are still slightly fried giving the tortilla slight crisp.

    I was really looking forward to trying Taco Pete since it's the one "from California", but I ended up pretty disappointed. As someone who's from Cali, I was not impressed at all. The quality of the tacos just wasn't good. I don't like that they use shredded meat for all of their tacos -- I'm not a fan of shredded or ground meat in tacos, and it makes them feel even less authentic. For a spot claiming California roots, it's definitely not giving real California-style tacos. I'm not sure what the hype is about, but I won't be back. There are plenty of better taco and Mexican spots in the area that feel more authentic and offer way better quality. The service was actually pretty good and the man who was taking orders as very friendly but other than that its mid.

    OK this places really does taste like the TP in L.A. They must be affiliated!!

    Food: Great Service: Haven't had a issue yet so, good Ambience: Walk up (to go orders only) Food was the same ol school taste as usual but, only issues I had was my beef burrito was only like warm & my fries were not freshly made. With that being said, they were cold! Not good TP...yall know I put on for my state "S. Cali" but you did me wrong today. Yall have done making up to do on my next visit! For Real

    This is BS the tacos have shrunk! This was a child's/kids taco it was literally three bites. I am so disappointed!

    Brand new renovation. Bigger and better!

    I recently went here and was wonderfully surprised at the new renovation to the place! Food was still on point and delicious! Being that they serve Mexican food adjacent to Taco Bell, and typically have a line compared to Taco Bell speaks volumes. My go to is the hard shell beef tacos and their chicken quesadilla!

    Waited a long time for them to open the location up after the construction and I really hoped the food would be the same.. but sadly it isn't. They gave me the smallest amount of rice I think I have ever seen. I had to go back and ask was that the correct amount. The asst manager fixed it, but she shouldn't have had to do that. It should have been correct from the beginning. My wings were just ok.. maybe they need a little more time getting back into the groove.. and the parking lot is still super congested. I was hoping they were going to make that a little bigger..

    Soft Shell Taco

    I come because I see some picture and for the name I was thinking was authentic Mexican food . First the don't have a place to eat the food ,I ask for tacos they horrible looks like dog food instead of stake And I ask no onion they put onion ,they put all in one bag they even put a place or anything it looks horrible I will never come back and the tacos are so little and I order a hamburger I'm a woman and I finish it in 4 bites .

    Just reopened.. Stopped here for lunch and ordered shrimp quesadilla, cheese quesadillas and 2 beef tacos.. Everything was really good and fresh, and cooked to order.. Friendly staff but needs to work the kinks out of the operation stuff.. Gave me the wrong order and ended up giving me the right order, and came back to give me tacos sauce that was left out the bag.. Pretty good overall experience and definitely will be back again.

    Solid. Nothing too crazy but for the price and the quantity, it's not bad. Had the beef taco salad which is basically their nachos with lettuce. It was very filling and my coworkers really enjoyed it too.

    I'm from California and was looking for a pastrami sandwich it took me a while but I found it it was good you got a faithful customer

    Did not finish

    This was NASTY. WOW.... I'm surprised. Burrito soggy and nasty. Chips were the circle kind you get from the store. Rice tasted like white rice with tomatoes. The guac was good. Salsa tasted store bought. Would never come back and no I did not finish my food.

I don't frequent Shake Shack that often, but I was surprised to see they had several chicken options (chicken nuggets, sandwich, etc.) as well as the breakfast items. My order was done quickly and they called my name when it was done. It was packaged pretty well in a tray and the burger was wrapped. The bag they put the orders in are sturdy! The burger was excellent - super juicy, pretty greasy, seasoned well, and hot. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, and the cheese was melty. I really loved this burger! The fries on the other hand, were pretty bad. They weren't very fresh and kind of stale. I'd skip them next time but would definitely order another burger.

I brought in some fans when the air was out a couple of days ago. Let me preface by saying that I did this to help my friends. I didn't want anyone to have to work in ridiculous heat. I brought two small fans and one large. I got my two small fans yesterday, no problem at all. I came in tonight and Yanna (who I have always been cool and amicable with, for quite a while), acted like my last fan wasn't available and it was somehow stolen, though I had seen it hanging over the staircase the night before. It would simply be ok with me to get my property back. It's shameful that any of this turned out the way it did. I'm literally one of the quietest and nicest people that anyone ever deals with. I did not have any kind of negative interaction, but was treated as if I was being a nuisance and causing a problem. I am always kind and calm, I never have any issue with any server or bartender. It really disappoints me because I've always been a kind guest, and have always been treated well. But I think my time with Chairs is now done. It sucks, because all of my interactions with everyone leading to this moment has been really great. Jess, Cay, Ike, Nigel, Major, Kelly. Everyone until one stupid night with one stupid fan. I was not at all forceful, just inquisitive. I really feel like Yanna didn't have an answer for a very soft question and instead of looking into it, turned me into a villain, using Jess as a stopgap in order to avoid dealing with a very simple situation that could have just been dealt with by either giving my fan back, or the owner spending fifty bucks on a fan of the same caliber and writing it off as a business expense. This is all very sad. I enjoyed being at chairs. I'm done.
