    Onion rings
    Carey L.

    I live pretty close to the University Village and was curious about this restaurant that had popped up on Doordash out of nowhere - it seemed to have some pretty amazing on the stuff on the menu (who doesn't love a good patty melt?) I ordered the Hot Mess, Treatin Myself, some onion rings and a drink and pulled up to where Google Maps took me. Y'all, this is located inside a Denny's. Specifically a dark kitchen that resides within the Denny's. Granted, they do disclose that on the page, so kudos for the transparency! As for the food itself, it's definitely a cut above what I would expect to receive at a Denny's restaurant, especially for takeout. The Hot Mess was anything but, actually. Bread was toasted well, flavorful, not soggy, and the ingredients held together well for the entirety of the meal. The onion rings were alright. I definitely would've enjoyed them more with a bit of seasoning. The Treatin Myself sandwich, though? My goodness. That sandwich made me feel good things. 2 pound cake slices with cheesecake filling and strawberries? Decadent, light, fluffy, flavorful. Absolutely scrumptious, I wanted another right after finishing it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about dark kitchens, but this one's food is pretty solid. I would not be opposed to ordering again just on the merit of the food from this visit, but your mileage may vary.

    This is only half of a sandwich, to big to finish it.

    Frozen 1/4 inch thick burgers. Almost no cheese whatsoever and we ordered a patty melt. Can't say I can recommend it.

    Overpriced for what you get. It would be cheaper to buy your own ingredients and make it yourself.

    OOOUUU BABY!!!! If you're reading this, get your taste buds going and start getting your order…read moreready. You will not regret it! First of all, let's start with the soon-to-be-world-famous Cebu Style Steam Rice. It's literally a flavor explosion in every bite. There is no lack of flavor in that heavenly gravy. It is soooooooooo tasty - if you decide to order anything from her, please get this!!! THE LECHON KAWALI IS ANOTHER BANGER I'M TELLIN YA! The flavor of the pork is 1000000/10. Crispy and moist. This dish is not for those who are "on a diet." But if you are, this is definitely one of those cheat meals. DO NOT SLEEP ON HER LECHON KAWALI! Next up - Grilled Rib Eye + Mashed Potatoes. If you like meat and potatoes, just order it. Please. Just do it. I'm literally still dreaming about the way she seasoned the meat! Low key I think it's way tastier than any steak house out there - treat yourself with this deliciousness! Fettuccine Alfredo Chicken, oh my word please Cianni, my stomach can only expand so much!!! BUT THIS WAS ALSO SO DELICIOUS TOO!! You have magical hands that season your food so perfectly. Oh man, it's sooooo flavorful and much better than any other alfredo's I've had. If ever you need a taste tester for your food, just hire me. Make me your apprentice! Dessert time! Puto Maya + Sikwate - what I love about it is that it's not too sweet. I love how she uses the red rice. The chocolate sauce is to die for though, I'm literally drinking it out of the cup it came in. Bahahah this is my most favorite way to consume carbs!! YUMMY IN MY TUMMY! Can't wait to try the rest of your menu!

    This is my 1st week with Prep Success Meals a local Inland Empire based food company and they are…read morevery different than other meal prep services in that you have a choice, you can subscribe and save money on each meal or pay a little bit more and order individual meals, while all the other meal prep services out there seem to required a subscription.  I'm single and I have been looking for a meal service where I could choose to buy 2 or 3 meals at a time when I needed them and not be hassled with a subscription. Prep Success Meals is that company, they have healthy ingredients, reasonable prices, and their website is easy to navigate.  I  chose 3 meals  to start with, the cheesy beef pasta,  grass fed beef burger, and the garlic butter chicken. I feel the portions are large, I had to split the cheesy beef pasta into two meals as it was a lot of food for me to consume at once and it was very delicious, lots of flavor, meat was tender and the sauce was generous.  All 3 meals were delicious and filling, I felt full after a small portion of the meals.  The burger was very moist and a generous size and the side potatoes had a nice flavorful kick,  while the garlic butter chicken was tender and the rice was light, moist and fluffy sided with  tender/crisp zucchini and the garlic flavor was subtle, not too light or heavy. If you want to try a meal prep service with great healthy food choices and the option to choose between a subscription or buying individual meals when needed, Prep Success Meals is a great place to start your journey.

The bushes and hedges are car shaped which was really cool. There's a spot for Veterans parking. Interior - cool decor. Lots of tables everywhere. The bar area is roomy and there are tables on both sides of the bar. Fans overhead was a nice touch. Old gas pumps really fits in. Really cool vibe they got going. Food / Drinks - I had the breakfast burrito. It was a good size and a good burrito. Nothing out of the park but definitely worth the price and I would get it again. Wife had the taco combo plate. Chicken tacos were good but she wasn't too thrilled with the carne asada. Said it was too grounded up. Maybe if they left strips of the steak? Idk. Fish tacos were really good. Crispy and flavorful. Drinks were fantastic. I had the large Michelada, since it was two beers it tasted a bit light so Laura, our server gave us a cup of Michelada base. Poured a bit of that and the drink was perfect. Bloody Mary was perfect the way it came. Great job Laura. Service - This takes us back to Laura. We sat down at a table near the bar where she was working behind. She immediately noticed us and brought over menus. She was very friendly and cordial and was on point the entire time we were there. Give this lady a raise. I don't know if it was because it was early but she was wheeling and dealing the whole bar area and tables on her own, while service never felt lacking. We would come back just for the great service from Laura.

    First off, no pictures were taken before I started picking at my food. The person taking our order,…read moreshe was very nice and very helpful. We asked a few questions, asked about substitutions, and she answered everything. In the end, the order for myself was a 3 crispy chicken taco plate with rice, beans, chips and a drink. My husband got the 2 Gordita plate (asada and al pastor for the meat) with French fries, beans, chips and a drink. The prices were fairly decent, which I don't know why I was expecting it to be a bit more pricier (probably the way it's set up). However, the food was okay. At first bite, I expected flavor and received no flavor from the chicken tacos. My rice was on the cold side and the beans had some flavor and were warm, which I could tell also from the cheese melting. My focus was mostly on the tacos because for me it was a bit disappointing. I added a little bit of salt and salsa to help get some flavor, but it still wasn't reaching that expectation I had based on the look. My husband said his Gordita's were good. He said the meat had flavor versus my chicken tacos, the only thing he said he needed to add salt to were his French fries. Would I personally return? I would think about it, because there were other items I could still try and see how I feel. My husband did enjoy it, and said he wouldn't mind going back to try something else to see if it's a go or not.

The fajitas were also a great addition to top off any taco. I would definitely recommend Nestor for anytime you need a taco person. He has top notch service and excellent food.
