It's pretty small with maybe 10 or so seats and some little cultural decorations. The guy at the counter is nice and walks you through the what you're ordering. They have a pretty wide menu and we got the pollo supreme burrito which comes with rice, beans, onions, sour cream, and cheese. The chicken is a chipotle chicken that is tender and flavorful. They toast the tortilla which gives it some depth of flavor. We got it spicy which gives it some but not a lot of heat. Overall, a great spot to get some food on a long ride between NorCal and SoCal.

We stopped at the McDonald's in Coalinga, CA and ordered through the app. I'll give credit where…read moreit's due -- the app was easy to use and made ordering simple. That part worked smoothly. Our food actually came out pretty decent. It was hot, tasted fresh, and was put together better than I expected considering how busy it was. The kitchen seemed to be holding it together. But the front of the store? That was rough. The dining area looked like it had been hit by a hurricane. Tables weren't cleaned, trash was building up, and the straw/soda station was sticky and messy. There were a lot of people standing around trying to order. The manager was loudly telling customers they wouldn't be served for a while and should just use the kiosks. That didn't exactly calm the crowd. There was confusion, frustration, and a pretty tense atmosphere overall. Bottom line -- good food and an easy app experience, but the front-of-house operations and cleanliness need serious attention. With better organization and some basic cleaning, this place could be a lot better.

Two road trips back to back, and have stopped at this McDonald's on both occasions. On both…read moreoccasions, we went through the drive-thru, then were advised to wait at one of the numbered spots. The first time, it was midday and busy. We waited over 30 minutes for our order. Eventually, I went in and asked for a refund because 30 minutes is too long to wait for a drive-thru order from a "fast food" establishment. Today, there was literally no one in the drive-thru line, so we figured it would be okay since it's the only place to stop. Also, I hopped out of the car to run inside to use the restroom and there was hardly anyone inside either. Well, we were wrong. Same story. Went through the drive-thru and were told to wait at spot number 1 for our order. After 10 minutes, and after 2 other cars parked next to us got their orders and left, we figured we should go ask for an update on our order. They claimed they had already given us our order already, which was curious since we didn't have it. They gave our order to another car parked in a different numbered spot. They didn't apologize at any point for the mistake. We asked for a refund and left. It's really unfortunate because McDonald's breakfast might be the only fast food indulgence I'll allow myself while on a roadtrip.Their fresh hot hashbrown are my favorite but after experiences like this, it's highly unlikely I'll return.

If this were anywhere else I would probably give 2 stars, but not bad for the options nearby. The brisket is the better of the meats we tried - chicken and tri-tip were the other two. Brisket is quite dry though without BBQ sauce. Chicken is not bad but also needs sauce. Tri-tip was too chewy. Of the sides, potato salad was good. Cornbread was good. S.O. got the mac and cheese and was disappointed. Ran out of horseradish and regular BBQ sauce while we were there. Or the guy just didn't want to get us the regular BBQ? Anyway, had the spicy BBQ which is not very spicy so that was fine. Ordered online which I strongly recommend. But check your order because they forgot the sauces. We were eating there, so I just went back to ask for them, but without the BBQ sauce, the meats would've been so hard to eat. Next to the Shell gas station, Lots of seating around.

Unfortunately, this experience was completely different. The menu seemed different from other Baja Fresh restaurants I've visited, and the quality did not match what I'm used to. I ordered a burrito, and the very first bite was disappointing. The meat was in large, chewy chunks and tasted like low-quality cuts. I couldn't even finish it and ended up throwing it away. I went next door to Subway instead. I'm not someone who likes to leave negative reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel other customers should be aware. I hope management takes steps to improve the food quality and consistency with other locations

This is a rather late review but I think it's worth sharing anyway…read more We stopped by on our way to LA. This was my second time here and this time we went to the Harris BBQ. The line was long but moved fast. I was with a company of 3 and we all enjoyed our food. We ordered Santa Maria classic BBQ tri-tip, salads and smoked meats on the side. Their beef tip salad was an absolute winner! I am not a fan of beef meat but this was an exception for me. I think because the beef was crispy, it came as a whole different experience for me. Will definitely order it again.

The burger was pretty good overall: the patty came medium rare, leaning toward rare, with a nice char on it. The top bun was solid, but the bottom bun got soggy and wasn't worth the calories, so I left it behind. Service was okay. The ambience was very nice, makes a fun stop for charging on during road trip.
