I've been a regular customer at El Halal Amigos for quite some time and have tried many different…read moreitems on the menu. Today, I decided to order the Chicken Fajitas, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt, it was the most delicious fajitas dish I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the vegetables were cooked just right, and all the flavors came together beautifully. Everything was cooked to perfection. The portion size was very generous, and the sides were fantastic. The guacamole, sour cream, Spanish rice, and black beans were all fresh, flavorful, and complemented the meal perfectly. I've always enjoyed the food here, but from now on the Chicken Fajitas will definitely be my regular order. Well-deserved 5 stars. Thank you, El Halal Amigos!

This was my very first visit to El Halal Mexican Restaurant in the heart of downtown Willow Glen,…read moreand I've been wanting to stop by for a while. I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.

Love Scratch Cookery. This is what a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is supposed to be…read more Unlike a lot of the chains like Dave's where it can basically feel like a chicken tender thrown into a bun, Scratch serves a huge, thick piece of actual chicken breast. The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.

We ordered the Texas chicken sandwich and chicken strips. Portions were generous, and the sandwich was super tasty. The strips were fresh and flavorful, but be careful with the spice levels! We ordered level 1 and it was flaming hot. Even level 0 has a kick, so I'd recommend going one level lower than you normally would. The curly fries were also great. Overall, a solid 4/5. The only star off was for the spice-level calibration. Great food and portions, and we'll definitely be back!

Whenever I'd hear about a food truck back in the day, the first thing that would come to mind is prepackaged food. However, those days are long gone! These food trucks are now capable of whipping up gourmet meals that could potentially rival any local sit down restaurant. At this particular location, the trucks only come out on Friday night, with 9-11 different trucks to choose from. They also provide live music and fun games for the family. They do provide 5 gallon buckets that are used for seats, and a couple of planks/boards that can be used as tables while you are scarfing down your food. Some folks just bring their own chairs, as those buckets eventually make your ass pretty sore. These are the trucks that will be here on Friday 10/30/15 333 Truck Chairman Truck Fairycakes Gold Rush Eatery Oh Miso Hungry Sam's Chowdermobile Sanguchon Treatbot Waffle Amore As you can see, it is pretty diverse. From a cupcake to a lobster roll, take your pick! Side note: If you plan on staying for a few hours, bring your own chairs! Your ass will thank you later. Conclusion: Who wants to keep track of where a certain food truck is going to be next week at 11:30 AM on Wednesday? Show up on a Friday night and you can treat yourself to about 10 trucks at once. It doesn't get any better than that. ***Minus 1 Star for some of the ridiculous prices***

Ordered The Little Mermaid catfish sandwich, the catfish po' boy, and the loaded Hei Hei chicken fries via their iPad ordering system. It was a Friday night and the area was getting crowded. Hence, my order took a while to come out. The Little Mermaid catfish sandwich was drowning in the tar tar sauce and the bread didn't taste that fresh. The catfish was flavorful and the Hei Hei fries were loaded and tasty- I liked the whimsical touch of the chicken dinosaur nuggets. Maybe I'll have better luck with their burgers- I may give them another shot in the future.

Rocko's Tacos is an absolute gem and unlike anything else out there. In a world completely every…read moresaturated with the same overly sweet, sugar-boba-loaded Asian drink trends, Rocko's stands out by doing something genuinely original -- and doing it exceptionally well. I've honestly never experienced anything like their ice cream tacos before, and that uniqueness alone makes it unforgettable. The shop itself is incredibly cozy and welcoming, the kind of place you want to hang out in rather than rush out of. You can really feel that it's a small, local business run with care and pride. Adding to that charm is the local kids working there -- fast, efficient, friendly, and clearly well-trained. Service is smooth even when it's busy, which says a lot. Now the flavors... unreal. My personal favorite is "The King", named after Elvis -- banana ice cream, honeycomb, and peanut butter. It's rich, perfectly balanced, and straight-up addictive. I also absolutely love the Rocko's Tacos ice cream taco favorite with mint -- fresh, creamy, and wildly satisfying. Rocko's Tacos isn't just dessert, it's an experience. Creative, cozy, local, and delicious -- this place deserves every bit of hype and then some.

But if you like big icecream scoops, the regular size would be better. They have a lot of different flavors and combos. I loved that they had a vegan gluten-free taco shell option. They also had three non-dairy and egg free vegan ice cream flavors. I liked the fudge chip flavor out of the vegan ones. The other two were caramel and coconut, and they tasted a little less flavorful to me. You can select what to dip your ice cream taco in and the toppings would be. At the end, they dip the entire taco in liquid nitrogen, which makes it nice and frozen! Definitely give this place a try if you're looking for a different ice cream adventure.
