    Great burgers, fries & onion rings! Took half home. Very friendly owner & son. We will be back!

    Kids enjoying nuggets and fries!

    Cute little restaurant with a lot of history. Big Al used to own the place. Now a friendly man named Arturo owns it. Very tasty burgers and it's rare that I feel like I had too many fries . Didn't get the chance to try the Mexican food which sounded like it was also good here. The kiddos enjoyed their chicken nuggets and fries.

    Nice seating area with room for a crowd and delicious food.

    Great location, parking and super comfortable seating with a good crew of construction workers finishing up lunch - always a good sign. The pastrami sandwich was quite good with plentiful meat but the rye bread could use a little beefing up. The onion rings were excellent. My son had the enchilada/taco combo and was thoroughly pleased !

The whole restaurant was filthy, and I don't like that they need you to ask for a key to use the restroom. The good: I got a double barbecue cheeseburger, and it was the best eating experience I've had in my entire life. So, so good.

    Me and my mom went to this Wendy's after a long day we ordered fries, chicken nuggets, and chicken…read moretenders. It was not that good so basically we were very hungry. Basically the girl who told us our order told us to move up for the front so we did we waited at least 20 to 15 minutes and then I decided to look back through the back window of our car. Another car that has been there for less time than us has already gotten their order. I was very confused because we didn't order that much. Then after another 10 minutes of waiting, we got our food. The fries were entangled and looked mangled and were genuinely gross and they were all stuck together. I do have to say one time my cousin went, and then the food gave her food poisoning she ordered the chicken nuggets. But to put some light on this Wendy's one time I went and there was a very nice man and he was awesome and they need more employees like him I don't remember his name I remember he had glasses and he was black and tall he was very nice and was joking around with me and my friend, also overall the food is very mid. I hate McDonald's but McDonald's could do better. Chick-fil-A solos and so does in n out don't waste your time coming here for mid food.

It'd be great to score a place 3 minutes from my house where I could reliably go when the burger pangs hit. It would also be nice to support local business. I was looking for a classic burger date with the missus. Two classic cheeseburgers, shakes, and a fry to share. Sad state of society when that comes out to $50, but I'm never one to shy away from treating myself. I just hoped the experience was worth the pretty penny (R.I.P. penny, we will miss you). Mixed review. In order of escalating chaos. The malt shakes were an absolute hit! We got one vanilla and one chocolate. Both were so flavorful with the perfect consistency that melted into a delicious drinkable shake as the meal went on. The burger was decent and they get credit for effort. Seemed they packed their patties and threw them on the griddle, no smash-burger technique here. Kind of puzzling as the crust and maillard is what makes burgers delicious in my opinion. This had none of that. Just loose beefy flavor with a thousand islandy sauce. Tasted good but not worth the cost of admission. Lastly, the fries. Oh boy, the fries. They came out hot, and the first few bites were okay, but as they cooled down it seemed they had been overcooked or bathed in week-old fry oil. They were acrid and ashtray tasting. Left an awful taste in my mouth, even as I was walking back to my car. There was a lot of potential here, but to reach 4 stars it would have to be a place I'd think to re-visit. I am sadly headed back to In-N-Out, or even Barney's.

The chips and salsa brought out were fresh and delicious. We liked the kids menu and the options that were available. We shared the molcajete and were super impressed. We were told later that most people don't finish it if they eat it alone and I believe it because the portion was so generous. The chicken and steak were thin but well cooked and seasoned. The cactus and vegetables and grilled queso were flavorful. The sauce tied everything together and the bacon wrapped shrimp was so yummy. In addition to a giant bowl of flavor, we got a plate of rice, beans, guac/sour cream/pico, and tortillas. The inside was clean and had some fun decor. The team taking care of us was attentive. The margaritas were flavorful, well priced, and tasted as fresh as the fruit in them. I plan to go back the next time we are in town to try some more of their many options.

Place was packed but we were quickly seated. Great drinks, loved the 22oz frozen mug with on tap brews. The Molcajete was outstanding as was El Paraiso Plate and Pollo Poblano. Chips were fresh, crispy and warm. Salsa was very good. Guacamole was great. Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had - anywhere, including trips to Mexico. We will definitely return when in the area.
