    The service at this restaurant location plain and simple sucks!! I asked to use the restroom to wash my hands before I ordered yet the lady at the counter said it's not allowed, ONLY until I after place my order!! WTF! I was going to order food afterwards and she said it's not allowed... I guess I won't be coming to this location ever again..

    Dumplings (5)

    A great Doordash option for a late dinner. I ordered the Steak and Chicken over rice bowl and a side of 5 Dumplings. The steak and chicken were very tender and tasty. I wish they would've added the green onions on top, like the picture, but it was still very good. They were a little light on the WaBa sauce also, so make sure to get a bunch of extra WaBa Sauce packets. You get plenty of rice in the bowl so that's nice. The dumplings were pretty good. They come with a sweet chili dipping sauce, but I wasn't a big fan of that. This is where the extra WaBa sauce comes in handy. Overall I was happily surprised. 10pm Doordash options are limited.

Turns out they were a Father and daughter team that was nothing short of awesome! We discussed local updates and shot the sh*t for 10 minutes. Been a while since I did this. Bacon and sausage breakfast burrito came out and it was great with crispy hash browns (a must have for me) and tortilla texture was great...not dry and not overly oily or greasy. It was perfect and balanced with all the ingredients as they should. Give this place a shot!

    I noticed Taco Pronto when I was in the same center eating at another restaurant. I noted that I…read morewanted to check it out sometime. There was plenty of parking right up front. There was no one else dining inside since I came after the lunch rush. One other person came in to get a drink while I was there. There are a good number of tables in the dining room. The lady who took my order must've been tired or something because she wasn't having it. I kept it quick and simple and didn't ask any questions. Needed to pick up something for a late lunch and got a couple of burritos. Saved the other carne asada burrito for my husband. I ordered the Surf and Turf which sounded like a popular burrito. To my dismay, I was disappointed with this burrito. Firstly, the size and quantity was not equivalent to the price of the burrito which was $14.50. Since I wasn't in the mood for french fries, they said it would be substituted with rice. OK, great I like rice. However, it ended up being about 90% rice. The meat portion was so skimpy and to top it off, the meat did not taste that great. It was not very flavorful and the shrimp was not fresh, but rather most likely frozen. The salsa didn't help that much either. For the Carne Asada burrito, my husband felt the same way about his burrito. I did not say anything to him about mine until he shared his opinion first. He said that there was only a little bit of meat in his Carne Asada burrito. Note, there's also a 3% surcharge on a credit card payment. I always try to dine at family restaurants, but we were not satisfied with our food. I'm willing to give them another try and will order other types of dishes next time.

The first thing I noticed was the line. It looked pretty long, but the staff moved through customers incredibly fast. That's usually a good sign that a place is worth the wait, and it definitely was. Don't let the line discourage you--it goes by quickly. The sandwiches are generously loaded with fillings, and the bread is made fresh in-house. I even saw several people leaving with loaves of bread, which says a lot about the quality. I ordered the grilled pork bánh mì, and it was excellent. The vegetables were fresh, the pork was flavorful, and everything came together perfectly. You can also watch the staff prepare the sandwiches through a large glass window, which adds to the experience and lets you see the care that goes into each order. It's easy to see why this has become a local favorite. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee, and it was fantastic. It was rich, bold, and exactly what I was hoping for. If you're looking for an authentic bánh mì and a great Vietnamese coffee, THH Sandwiches is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back.

    FOOD POISONING! AVOID!…read more So I hadn't been here in a while and right when I arrived I got a bad feeling since this place looked dirtier than before and I wish I'd have listened to my gut when later that day I was sick on the toilet with food poisoning! I'd seen the main chef walk in and out of the building, touching the door handles & other things and not washing his hands before continuing to cooking, and the other cook was on his phone and touching all this other stuff and not washing his hands, and I should have just left!!!! but I stayed (dumb!) since normally I frequent dives a lot - I love Mexican food - I eat it at least once a week if not more! and I eat Mexican food at gas stations, all sorts of grimey places, everywhere so I'm not fussy - (but there's a difference between divey and dirty and here was dirty!) and then I regretted it since before it was shame it used to be good here. I'll never come here again! Unsanitary!!

We never heard it called, though we clearly heard other numbers and saw employees actively delivering food to other tables. After 15 minutes, I went inside to check on our food. Our order was just sitting on the counter. When I checked the tacos, the meat wasn't just lukewarm--it was completely cold to the touch. When I caught the cashier's eye, he just gave me a thumbs-up. When I told him the food was cold, the cashier, Irvin, immediately got defensive and told me with an attitude, 'I called the number twice.' I explained that we didn't hear it, and pointed out that staff had been bringing food out to everyone else anyway. Instead of offering a solution, he doubled down, saying, 'I heard my voice over the speakers,' giving me a 'too bad, so sad' look. When I asked him to remake the food, he completely refused, repeating that he'd called the number. Unwilling to argue with someone that unprofessional, I told him to keep the cold food and just give me a refund. He refunded the money and we left. Absolutely terrible service from Irvin--we won't be back."

What stood out most was the generosity of spirit. Not just good service -- genuine care. The kind that makes you want to come back, recommend the place, and trust that you'll be treated well every time. Management should know they have someone with natural leadership qualities on their team. Employees like this don't just represent a brand -- they elevate it. If there's ever someone deserving of recognition or advancement, it's him. I'll definitely be returning, and a big part of that reason is Rudolfo.
