    Fireman breakfast burrito but was not even wrapped properly and was just shoved in the bag
    Reba V.

    Came in the morning and first t off, the wait was ridiculous !!! Almost an hour wait . And then we finally got our food my husband pulled the burrito out of the bag and it wasn't even wrapped properly and all fell out in the bag. And it was lukewarm so it wasn't even hot when we finally got our food. It was just put together so horribly and just seemed like there was no quality or Care that was put into making the food and everybody was waiting so stinking long like for being a faster food place was absolutely ridiculous. I don't know how the other locations are. This is our first time and first experience with this place, but I would avoid it at all cause if you're not in any kind of hurry and you literally have all day to spend there and get kind of mediocre food. And the place is just small. I mean the outside seating seemed nice.

    Great excellent food trailer in the corner of the parking lot next to Dutch Bros. Excellent Mexican food with a Spanish touch to it. My "papa bravado" were hot and tasty. The side ordered of Spanish elite (seasoned sweet corn with spicy mayo cotija cheese and lime) were nothing I had before. Service is a little slow, but that is because everything is freshly made by the order. This location is in a parking lot in a strip mall area. So there's plenty of parking, but the outside seating is limited but covered. Staff doesn't come out and clean the tables and ensures that the area as well maintain.

    Steak breakfast burrito

    First time trying Brushfire. Got a steak breakfast burrito. It was meh. Probably better without the potato cubes being way over cooked to the point they are hard....

    Breakfast Tacos
    Bronson S.

    Stopped by for a quick breakfast before embarking on my trip to California. The quality of the food is as good as I remember from my last trip. I usually get the breakfast tacos, which are made with flour tortillas, a meat of your choice and eggs, topped with a spicy mayo, cheese, and some salsa. My favorite is the Chorizo tacos with salsa verde. The tacos and the filling are less like a traditional taco and more like an unfolded mini breakfast burrito. The meats are well seasoned and the mayo adds a nice bit of spice and tang. The green salsa is very refreshing on an otherwise very rich and savory taco. My only gripe is that the prices have seem to gone up, which is understandable with inflation and all, but it feels steep considering this is something I have easily made at home many times before. Despite that, I'll probably end up stopping here before heading onto the loop 101, just out of habit.

    Steak burrito
    Stephanie I.

    Came back after our neighbor said they had really good breakfast burritos . I've heard this from several people, today we finally tried. We were very pleased! We both got the steak break burrito and used brush fire salsa. Delicious. Would recommend the breakfast burritos! It was perfect filling for me, my bf said he could eat another half. Would try again.

    Receipt of order.

    I waited in line from 10:25 am until my order was taken at 10:48 am. I received my food at 11:17 am. When I went to eat my burrito in the parking lot across the way, I started eating my burrito and it didn't have any cheese or guacamole. I used to come here 3 times a month and I live about 45 minutes away. This place has been going downhill ever since. Everytime I come here, something is always wrong. That is UNACCEPTABLE. I don't understand why the food and order taking takes so long. This is not the first time. Why don't you have enough staff working? Is it a training issue? Very upset AGAIN. $ 19.65 for a burrito with extra salsa on the side. For that kind of money, their should be gold on or in it. Get it together Brushfire, you are losing a lot of business.

    Hey there locals! This is a first time visit for us! Let's start off with the service,we didn't wait long at all before being greeted we had a man who was very knowledgeable on all the items and referred us his favorite options off the menu!

You can taste the quality in each ingredient and I appreciate that. My husband and I agreed that the Spanish octopus was our favorite dish. It was the best octopus I've had in a while, the char flavor and slight crisp was amazing. We enjoyed the creamy sauce, artichokes, and other veggies that came with this dish. The cauliflower and golden beets were incredible too. The chef told us that the Japanese sweet potato was one of the popular dishes, but out of everything we ordered, it was surprisingly my least favorite. It was still good but everything else tasted better to me. Pa'La is a bit pricey but the quality makes up for it. I would recommend this place for people who are visiting or for a date night!

    This was my second time here and if I were basing my review on just the first experience, I would…read moregive the establishment 4 stars, but this visit there was a disappointment in a dish and it was handled very poorly by the manager. I will start by saying it's a shame because this place has real potential! The crafted cocktails are the highlight as they are beautiful, original, and tasty. The food is good for the most part, but some items are overpriced. An example is the bisque cheesecake at $15 as it was on the small side, round about the size of a flan. It was presented nicely w berries, but not worth $15. I am from CA and not even there! The main issue I had was with the ricotta, pesto and tomato jam jar. This was more like pesto, with Ricotta. The Ricotta being listed first by any culinary standard should be the main feature. But the tapered dish had a small amount of ricotta at the bottom, about a fourth, then half the jar full of pesto, then top fourth of tomatoes.(see picture). I couldn't even dig down to get the ricotta and the huge amount of pesto was overpowering. I politely brought this to the waitresses attention by kindly saying I wanted to give some feedback and explained the expectation and that there was very little ricotta and hard to get to it. She handed me a spoon and a plate and I tried in front of her to get to it and said that's not working. She did say she would give the feedback to "them", but did not offer to replace it or fix it. Perhaps offering to bring more ricotta? For the rest of the evening she did not address the situation and I only ate two small bites and sent the entire dish back. At the end of the meal when I saw this was added to my bill, which I should add was $84 plus tip, over $100, w ricotta being $18 for just me not including the other two at the table, I asked if anything could be done about the ricotta dish that I did not eat. She said she would ask, but came back and said her manager said no because this was just my preference!! I felt sorry for the waitress. If the wait staff is not empowered to resolve these issues on their own then the manager should have come to the table! I said okay, paid the bill and left. They lost a repeat customer!! **Contrary to what management stated below, no accommodation was offered or made besides handing me a spoon and a plate. Also, the promise to discuss w mgmt was not followed up on until I received the bill and reminded the waitress which felt like avoidance, 1.5 hours after I sent the dish back. Perhaps there is a communication breakdown or misunderstanding, but my issue was the excessive amount of pesto (a sauce) and small amount of ricotta. Management prefers to argue and defend (without the facts) vs find a solution and humbly accept feedback. I am a manager myself in the luxury market...and customer feedback is at the heart of growth.

Luckily, since it was…read morejust the two of us, we were able to grab seats at the bar-top counter instead of waiting for a table. A small downside was that the bar tables are pretty tiny, and the chairs don't have hooks to hang a purse, which made things feel a little cramped. I ordered the Spicy Creamy Ramen, and it was delicious! I'm not someone who enjoys extremely spicy food, but the spice level was just right enough heat without overpowering the flavors. The ramen noodles are thick and have a great chewy texture. My partner ordered the Chicken Chashu, which he also enjoyed, but his favorite part was the Old Fashioned. He's already talking about coming back just for another one! The only thing I'd recommend improving is how the ramen bowls are served. Because they're so hot, our server had to place his thumb inside the rim of the bowl to carry it, and I noticed his thumb accidentally touched the hard-boiled egg in my partner's ramen. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it wasn't very sanitary. Finding a different way to handle the bowls would make the dining experience even better. Overall, the food was excellent, and we'd definitely come back.

Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

    We dined here as a party of four on a Sunday evening (the first guests seated at 5:00 p.m.). Given…read morethe glowing reviews, beautiful Instagram presence, and higher price point, we walked in with high expectations. Three of the four of us cook regularly and host dinners, so we all pay attention to food, service, and the overall dining experience--though we each have very different tastes. Interestingly, we all left with about the same impression. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The décor is warm, inviting, and immediately makes you feel like you're in for something special. Our server was attentive throughout the meal, although there were a few service hiccups that affected the experience. We started with cocktails. All of them were good, but each seemed just slightly out of balance. I ordered the OG Margarita on our server's recommendation, and while I'm admittedly picky about margaritas, this one was noticeably too sweet. The seasonal menu sounded exciting, especially since they emphasize using fresh, in-season ingredients. Our server insisted on us trying the Tomato Board. At $40, which was the most expensive appetizer on the menu, we expected something very memorable. It featured several varieties of tomatoes (including a surprisingly delicious pickled green tomato), a light and airy whipped mozzarella, and a single long piece of focaccia. Everything tasted fresh, and the whipped mozzarella was the standout--we'd never had anything quite like it. Unfortunately, with only one piece of bread, we had to order another just so everyone could enjoy it. Good? Absolutely. Worth $40? None of us thought so. We also ordered the escargot, which was delicious, though it's hard to describe five pieces as "family style." For our entrees, we ordered the burger, the sausage with potato latke, and what we thought was the lamb and mussels special. At first we were going to order the pork belly noodles instead of the sausage, but our server thought it would be too many noodle dishes, so we happily took his recommendation to get the sausage. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication, and the pork belly noodles were brought instead of the special we were most excited to try. When we pointed it out, he acknowledged the mistake but he wasn't quick to offer a resolution, which left us in an awkward spot where we just decided to keep it. Ironically, the pork belly noodles ended up being our least favorite dish. The pork belly was overly chewy and quite salty, while the noodles were bland and seemed just slightly undercooked. The fresh mint was a nice touch, but it wasn't enough to save the dish. The sausage with potato latke, yogurt sauce, and pickled red cabbage was surprisingly excellent. The flavors were balanced, the portion size was generous, and it ended up being one of our favorites. The true star of the evening, though, was the burger. We split it four ways, and every single one of us commented on how good it was. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, topped with melty Gorgonzola and a vanilla bean jam that married beautifully together. We used every last bite of the warm bun to soak up what was left. Overall, we'd give the food about a 7/10. Here's what took an otherwise 4/5 star experience down to a 3. The air conditioning wasn't working on a 115-degree day. But I'm not lowering my rating because mechanical issues happen. At first it wasn't noticeable because it was still cooler than outside, but as dinner went on we were all visibly uncomfortable, passing around my hand fan. Only then did our server mention that the A/C had been out. You come here for an experience and if you know upfront a patrons experience will be affected you are under obligation to tell them but no one mentioned it when we arrived or made any effort to acknowledge the inconvenience or tried to make up for our discomfort in any way. Persephen clearly has talent in the kitchen and a beautiful space, but when you position yourself as a premium dining experience, every detail matters. We enjoyed parts of the meal, especially the burger, but overall the experience didn't quite live up to the hype. For us, 3 out of 5 stars feels like a fair rating.
