This visit I made sure to ask the sweet lady who brought out our food if she makes it, to which she shared that they did make it fresh in house! This visit we also got to meet the owner who was also very kind and welcoming to us. I would 100% recommend to everyone local or visitor to check it out for yourself! Not only is the food amazing but the atmosphere is perfect place to people watch, read a book, study, or meet a friend (and if you're lucky get to pet cute adoptable dogs) Lastly the Oreo cheesecake is freaking good!!!!

I finally swung by Chori-Man after hearing everyone rave about their house-made chorizo, and…read morehonestly, the hype is real. I'm a bit of a chilaquiles snob, but these are easily some of the best I've had in town. The chips actually held their crunch even with all that sauce, which is a rare find. I got mine with their maple habanero chorizo--the perfect balance of sweet and kick. It's a small, local spot, but the flavor they're pushing out of that kitchen is massive. The Breakdown: * Quality: You can tell the chorizo is artisan. It doesn't have that greasy, heavy feeling of the mass-produced stuff. * The Sauce: Perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, just purely flavorful. * Service: Super chill and friendly. It feels like a neighborhood staple because it is. Pro-Tip: Parking can be a bit of a hunt right there on 9th, so just be prepared to walk a block. Also, grab a pound of the loose chorizo to take home for breakfast the next day--you'll thank yourself later.

Has typically been decent. This last was absolute $hit. Lemme elaborate... Wifey got the classic chicken salad w/balsamic dressing. Far from classic. Loaded with iceberg lettuce and I mean loaded. The least expensive inclusion in a salad. That said, while it is supposed to come with cucumber slices, it did!!! All 3 of them. Lettuce was obviously not entirely fresh as there were soggy limp leaves throughout. The grilled chicken was dry and tomato slices were about an inch thick. The tomatoes and dressing were the best part of the salad. Wifey refused to eat the vast majority of it as thoughts of salmonella and psyclosporiasis began to dance through our heads... On to my "Maria's Salad Burrito w/shrimp" and an avocado "extra". (For a mere $3.50 extra I might add). When they advertise "with shrimp" understand they are being literal. One effing shrimp in the entire burrito. ONE. O.N.E.. ONE... As for the avocado, it too was virtually non existent. Maybe 3 little fingernail sized pieces. Will never ever go back to this piece of $hit establishment. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I refuse to be shamed. You, Prontos, have been.

Look at the pictures. It's basically just a thin layer of rice with some beef on top, no vegetables at all, and it was over $10. That's where it loses me. The food itself is good, but for that price and that portion, it just doesn't make sense. This feels like something that should be around $6. So yeah... good flavor, but the portion for the price is way off.

Well I finally did a review for my local McDonald's on Gaffey Street in San Pedro…read more I frequent this location at least once a week. I decided to order for pickup/drive thru their mobile app on 10/15/24 specifically for one of their mobile app specials $6.50 plus tax for a Big Mac Special- which includes medium fries and a medium drink. With the special- you can choose between the normal one (beef)- but it let you also choose what I wanted- their limited time "Chicken Big Mac". I usually select add mac sauce- but from what I've seen via numerous social media outlets- that could get messy for this particular burger. I don't know if it's because of this new iteration of the Big Mac- but I liked it a bit more than the old standby. Because of the two chicken patties (Yes- they're definitely better than the McChicken patties and to the eye/taste are a bigger size McNugget) and due to the size/thickness of the chchicken- the burger was thicker (in height). I may try/request that the next Big Mac- be prepared with one meat patty and one Chicken patty. Again- try this limited time Big Mac and as far as service and ambiance- I know typically from my personal experience at this location their very good.

We then left and headed to Knott's Berry Farm. Within 10 minutes, my son asked, "What's this?" and handed me a piece of plastic that he had taken out of his mouth after taking a bite of his sandwich. I honestly could not believe how sharp the piece of plastic was, and I was extremely concerned about what could have happened if he had swallowed it. Unfortunately, I was also very disappointed with the way the restaurant handled the situation. Rather than taking responsibility for the issue, they placed blame on their food supplier and then asked me how I would like the situation to be handled. Honestly, I didn't know what to say. This has never happened to me before, and I truly wasn't expecting anything in return. I could care less about receiving a free or comped meal or a $5 refund. What I do care about is making sure this doesn't happen to another customer--especially a child. I would hope the restaurant takes this seriously, investigates how a sharp piece of plastic ended up in the food, and does everything possible to prevent something like this from happening again. Someone could have easily choked on it or been seriously injured.

I first heard of this place because my brother has been coming here for years. My first impression was that the place was spotless, the seasonal music was very enjoyable, and the service of the ladies in the back made me feel amazing. Food wise, highly recommend the dumplings here. All of the sauces are great but the garlic serrano and spicy waba are my favorites. The new owner Chris is an authentic Korean foodie and chef, super friendly made my brother and I feel like family when we came in. I ordered the chicken bowl with brown rice and veggies because im trying to eat healthier. This Waba really helps me when i dont have time to meal prep. The food is healthy, delicious, and it is super fast and affordable. Love this place always amazing service and top notch food. read more
