I met a friend here for lunch who told me this is her favorite place to get a sandwich. I agree -…read morethis is one of the best sandwich shops I've been to. The interior decor can be described in one word: Dude! There are a handful of tables inside and a bar where beer on tap is served. As a first-timer, the young woman at the register was friendly and helpful in helping me make decisions after being overwhelmed my their large menu. So many choices! I decided on the Acapulco Gold: BBQ chicken breast pieces, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and dressing. It usually comes with onions too, but I asked that ingredient be left out. She guided me to try it on garlic bread, which was a wise choice (thank you), and her finger measurements helped me decide on how big a sandwich I should get. I made it a combo, which came with a bag of chips and a fountain drink. The sandwich was messy but, as is often the case with messy food, it was incredibly delicious! All the flavors melded well together. Every ingredient tasted so fresh, especially the bread. This is THE place to come if you are craving a sandwich! Note: street parking or pay in a nearby lot

The sandwiches are great! Delicious and fresh. I would say that this time the sandwiches were on…read morethe lighter side in terms of how much they were filled. Service is good, cashiers are nice. The space is seemingly well kept, plenty of seating inside and outside.

I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars…read more Yafa Cuisine is a good local spot and a decent value for the portion sizes. You definitely get a good amount of food for your money. The meat was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, which was the highlight of the meal. The rice had good flavor, but unfortunately it wasn't fully cooked, which took away from the experience a bit. The food also took a while to come out, so be prepared for a longer wait. One downside for me was the pita bread. It was very dry and hard, and not enjoyable at all. Another concern was the open kitchen. While the area looked clean overall, I did notice the cook using the same gloves to prepare food and then handle items that didn't appear clean, which was a little off-putting. Overall, Yafa Cuisine has good flavors and generous portions, but a few quality and cleanliness details kept it from being a higher rating.

Seems to be a family owned restaurant, everyone who helped us was super nice. Cute location too, with a lot of seating. The jumbo potato was literally jumbo, they sure do not skimp on the toppings here. My potato was simple but so delicious, I love how fluffy the potato was and it was steamy right til the end.

The potatoes were absolutely delicious and filling. The staff were friendly and inviting; they honestly are part of what made the experience great. I feel like this is a nice little shop to stop in and eat lunch or dinner. Check them out if you're looking for something outside the norm; I mean how many other places offer specialty potatoes!? Support small businesses!

The falafel's taste & texture are different from traditional recipes, but I was impressed. When they just come out of the fryer, they're fantastic. Customer service has been good/great. The one item that I wouldn't order again was the stuffed grape leaves due to the taste.

Aaand terrific accompaniments (sauce, hummous, muhammara, baba ghanoush...). It's in the same little shopping center next to the Stater Bros and CVS next to the 91 just off La Sierra. According to the lovely server, it's the family's own recipe, so extra points. Generous portions and although I ordered to go, it's got a nice, intimate vibe inside - just a few tables - and clean. I was very impressed that they don't stuff everything in styrofoam to-go containers; they've got actual sturdy cardboard bowls. I ordered à la carte for two and there was enough for three. I will totally be going back but will probably ask them to prepare me a wrap the next time, as they most likely intended in the first place considering the name ;-)

We went togethjer as she was a bit nostalgic for food plaaces she went to growing cup. The location is in a business district, but the familiar design and interior of the resteraunt made my wife happy. We arrived when it opened and were glad we did becuase it got busy very fast from many wokers in the area. We both ordered the roast beef sandwich and my wife said that it totally reminded her of the one she grew up with. Personally the food was ok, and I probably wouldnt go back, but service was fine and the resteraunt was clean.

It has a hot pink sign and has interior and exterior seating options. You can park in parking structures or side streets in order to walk towards this location. On a hot summer day, they were blasting the AC which was super appreciated! We came in to cool off and enjoy a beer, after reading their signs! Of course, we opted for a glazed donut, too. The guy at the front was nice and friendly! Super chill. We took out items and sat towards the side, under their large TV. He switched on the TV and ended up playing the World Cup game!! I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!

Let's break it down: -Staff is friendly and helpful but service is slow - Food is just ok and is pricey for what you get - A gyro, fries and a water was almost $20! - They do have plenty of seating inside and the interior is basic and relatively clean. They give you a tiny container of tzatziki on the side for your gyro which does nothing for the gyro. There is no additional sauce other than that small side they give you. It's pretty dry and needs more. They do give you a nice amount of meat but the taste is mediocre at best. The fries are good and were freshly made. If I'm paying $20 for this meal, I expect more in terms of quality and taste.
