    Lemon pepper bagel. Too delicious not to bite into right away.
    Jamie D.

    Friendly staff. Lots of options on the menu including Starbucks drinks. Cute little cafe in the entrance courtyard of UCI Health Los Alamitos.

    MUST TRY THEIR GYRO! I love gyro's & their gyro was so yummy & really hit the spot. Their tzatziki sauce is none like any other I've tried & it was amazing! It was creamy, tangy, & tastes so fresh with high quality ingredients. Trust me, you can tell the difference compared to other places I've tried. My mouth is watering just thinking about it now. This place is a hidden gem. The ambiance was very relaxing & I cannot explain it, but any stress I had just melted away when I was there. The service was fast & everyone there was super friendly.

    Breakfast burrito with egg, avocado and hash brown. They were very stingy with the hash brown and added an extra ingredient from the avocado :/

    Lemon pepper bagel!

    This place is part of the Los Alamitos Medical Center, it's in the back corner so when you arrive, pull into the street next to the center and park. Quiet, very clean little place. I'm looking at the bagels and I see, lemon pepper. I'm like, what the heck is a lemon pepper bagel? So I order it and you can see from my pic what it is. It was super tasty that morning. I was really hungry that morning too but I brought it back to work with me and ate at my leisure and the entire time, I'm thinking, this bagel's really good!

    Gyro wrap with pasta salad...both were excellent!

    I love Café Niko! They have a wide variety of healthy offerings from sandwiches to Starbucks drinks. Food is always good and made fresh daily; their gyro wrap is a customer favorite! The café itself is very cleaned and the owner is just the best. She welcomes customers with warmth and such joyful countenance! I cannot recommend this place enough.

    I work across the street from this outdoor food court and I was indecisive as to what to have for…read morelunch and decided to give this place a try. Not wanting to eat red meat, I was hoping to find a chicken sandwich on the menu (to no avail) so I decided to try their veggie burger (10.99). Fries are a la carte, but I upsized to a combo w/fries and a drink for 5.99 extra. When I received my veggie burger I noticed the "bun" was lettuce rather than a bread bun so I inquired about it and I misunderstood as I did not realize it was wrapped in lettuce. They graciously stated that they could put it on a bun for me and I stated if it is not any trouble so they promptly fulfilled my request. I received a boatload of fries and the burger was good but the patty was very mushy but I did not mind. Service is top notch and I am glad I gave this place a try. On a side note - they do offer a turkey patty as an option on their burgers.

    I don't know how they' can say known for their crispy fries, cause what I got was overcooked limp…read moreoily fries, The hamburger was pretty good even though i'm not a big fan of smash burgers and apparently they won't put onion on their burgers , the strawberry shake was excellent but I don't know how anybody could serve french fries like that and be proud of them. When they put it them the bag, you would think they'd stop and look at them think, well, I wouldn't eat that, I shouldn't serve that , but no, they just closed their eyes and put them in the bag. Places serve crap like this, and then they wonder why they don't have repeat customers. They did pretty well on two out of three but bad sad fries just ruined the whole meal. I was gonna go to In-N-Out for a late meal on a Saturday night, and then I remembered I've been wanting to try Mooyah for a while,.... but I guess it was too much to ask that anybody actually care about my french fries. I find myself confused as to why somebody would make the considerable investment in time and money to open a restaurant pand then serve french fries like that. I guess I'm just old and I remember when every hamburger stand could make delicious crispy french fries every time.

    I thought I had reviewed Volcano Burger a long time ago, it's one of my favorite burger joints…read moreever! Discovered this place a few years back looking for a hidden spot to frequent. It's always a packed line and people usually in the front ordering and filling up their eating area, I'd recommend grab and go here. The burgers are amazing, big in size, taste better than fast food style, more like the entry level restaurants. I'm a big fan of their fries and fried Zucchini. Got the onion rings this time, it's always overflowing in portion to the serving sleeve. Decided to switch up the Lava Burger with the Fish Burger, it's good to go! Didn't order a shake this time but usually do, they're big servings and the same quality as the rest of the menu. If you're in the surrounding area looking for drive-thru, consider trying this place out. Makes a quick meal seem more satisfying than chain establishments.

We ordered two colossal burgers, regular fries, and chili cheese fries. My burger did not come with cheese as I had asked, so I went up and grabbed a slice and added it myself. Not a huge deal, but it did take away from the experience a bit. The pastrami was great, the burger had a lot of flavor, and their ranch definitely passed the test. The biggest issue here is the parking. The lot is very small, and once a rush hits, you are stuck. We sat there for about 30 minutes trying to get out, and my boyfriend ended up going through the drive-thru line just to exit. It was pretty frustrating. That is really my only gripe, though. I am sure we will be back.

My partner and I shared and I couldn't even finish my half- it was packed with tots, gooey cheese, egg, bacon, and sausage. The tots inside were super crispy, which shows how fresh these burritos are. We also had the Queso Tots, with the queso on the side. This place is not stingy! They gave us a great portion and the quality of the tots was top tier. They are so crispy I could hear a crunch on every single one! The queso dip is delicious, it is very creamy but also has some chunks of pepper in there which gives an amazing flavor. The salsas we tried were the Habanero and the Medium Green Chile Salsa. The green chile was good, but nothing too special. The Habanero is a must have!! It does have a kick to it, which is perfect if you love spice. The flavor doesn't overpower the burrito, but definitely enhances the whole experience. The worker who took our order at the window was very kind and helpful (it was my first time) and I can just tell that the staff prioritizes customer service. 10/10 experience!!

I understand why they use a stick with a key to use them but the sanitary function of that is already a minus for me. Food: quite expensive for what I got!!!!honestly way below Average, they recommended the patty melt and it was subpar to say the least, very greasy and un flavorful, too much cheese I couldn't finish both half's when normally I do at any other place. The fry's were ok. The fountain drinks, very messy and not clean Staff: very welcoming and helpful, fast service. Seating area: many places to sit mostly booths ,again aesthetically not very pleasing but looked clean and plenty of space to sit. I risked it and tried this place out of no recommendation other than stopping by and I don't think I will Be back. Maybe some of their other items are good but I will pass on this place. Great staff though. I have moved this up to 3 stars solely because the response to my feed back was well received and that alone speaks highly of making an attempt to help their restaurant to be better. The goal is not to just criticize or review for the sake of reviewing but to actually help businesses and which comes full circle both for customers and business owners. Thanks to the reply I may give it another shot for the burgers if I am in the area and in hungry!
