    Oh god... for the past 5 years this places burgers has tasted like soap... I don't get it.... But it's my bad it was all I could afford with ebt back in the day lol... but my kids were starving and they wanted chicken fried steak... it didn't taste like soap, but as you can see it sure doesn't look much better than how the burgers tasted. My son refused to eat it. I give up, never again. The Toms in Noho is fire though..:.

    It takes a while to get your food order especially in the drive thru but I don't mind because that means I'm getting fresh food, not food that has been sitting under a heat lamp.

    The heart of this place I swear I can't say enough good things…read more Get the burrito with the pork or the tacos with the pork -- The PORK [chef's kiss] a-ma-zzzing. And the flavor is spot on! You can get an egg and cheese burrito in a hundred other places, seriously, eat the meat is my advice. The pork meat is so good, the green chili sauce and the red chili sauce are different but both are amazing in their own way. The red one has a wonderful spiciness from jalapenos and Japanese chilies. The green one is chilis from New Mexico, go half-half if you can't decide. And if you see Isaac -- is like being a part of his authentic family table. There are so many regulars already, but even as an occasional visitor, just makes my heart happy eating the food that's prepared with so much care and thought for how it will nourish someone's day. Isaac told us how the pork cuts are not frozen and he trims the fat by hand to make sure the flavor is there, but the finished dish is not greasy. Good food takes time! This man is one of the chefs that think, "ok, what tastes good, what's nourishing and good for you". And his recipes are all top notch because he hits all the steps and doesn't shortcut the ingredients. His food would not be as amazing if he skimped on the meat, you'd know right away, but he won't serve you anything that's subpar, that's how much he cares. Eating the food was like, wow, I feel that you care about how much my day just got better because your food fuels me up! The sauce on the tortillas, mmm...I just got hungry all over again. Take me back to LA!

    We heard about this family owned restaurant from several people at a nearby aquarium so we had to…read moregive it try. The dispatch and carne asada burritos came highly recommended and both were satisfactory. The green sauce had a nice spice level but it also had an unpleasant filmy, pork fat overlay texture. I would skip the green sauce next time as the pork flavor overpowers the zesty seasoning of the carne asada burrito. Service is fast and efficient.

    This place has a massive menu now I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with no onions, and I have to…read moretell you that bacon was so juicy and perfect. It's like when it reaches the perfect consistency of crispy and flavorful, and then you throw on the cheeseburger and the giant sesame seed bun... Good stuff but the thing that blew me away it's just how large the menu actually is they have peanut butter and chocolate coffee... I wish I really wish I would've had it and they have incredible tacos. They have a menu that literally is so big you could park a car on it... Maybe that didn't make sense but you get my point. The next thing I tried they have special crafted sodas. I ordered the cola but when I ate my french fries and I gobbled my burger down I washed it down with some delicious sweet crispy co-op. Apparently it's a handcrafted blend here... The seating is amazing. I relaxed pretty easily. I can see why people would come here. It would take me at least a year to try everything on the menu and I think the next thing I'm gonna try is the quesadilla the big quesadilla... Give yourself a few minutes because this food is made fresh but I only had to wait about 10 minutes and it was well worth a Wait.

    Service has gone down hill, I corrected a previous review because I was invited back by Ursula the…read moresocial media manager and she fixed my order but unfortunately the staff is the problem, as they can't even get orders correct and when you tell them about an issue they take it very personal instead of owning up to it, and want to argue with you. Unfortunately this is not the first time and no one has contacted me since the last issue and I'm over it. This time I ordered 3 chili cheese dogs no mustard 2 with no onion, they took my order correct unfortunately the cooks put onion on all 3 thankfully I checked in the drive thru, I sent one back, but all they did was scrape the onions off and throw more cheese to hide it, how do I know this is what they did? Because there was still onion in between the hot dog and the bun that the missed. When I mentioned it to them the denied that's what they did. Horrible staff at night, and it's ALWAYS THE SAME CREW
