    Salsa bar
    Steve C.

    For a tiny hole in the wall, or in this case, gas station, the food was awesome. Their salsas are absolutely fantastic. Large portions at reasonable prices. Definitely worth it. Friendly, helpful staff too.

    Where you order the food

    The flavor is great. They only have cabeza y lengua los fines de semana. Tortillas are delicious. The inside has lots of tables.

    Weekly Specials - food is made fresh so it always takes a little longer. Call it in if you can.

    Delicious! Food made fresh. They can take some time. Call it in if possible to avoid the wait.

    The food here is beyond delicious a must try for sures. I had a Chile rellenos burrito with a Al pastor mulita and a agua fresca de piña and let me tell you they did not disappoint. The service was great the price was right and the decor is pretty cool. Love it!! Definitely going back!!

    3 tacos (asada, pastor, and lengua)

    So to start off this place is located in the same gas station area as the Jack in the Box near the 10 freeway and pepper exit. Once you walk in It's a Small location with three booths that would hold about a total of 12 maybe 15 people. They have a salsa bar which I always enjoy because I hate asking for more salsa if I run out. That's also bar has limes cucumbers pickled carrots and jalapenos and four different types of sauces. As I approached the counter I noticed that one of the TV screens was off. The other two TV screens had a limited portion of the menu. I had to ask a lot of questions because not everything was on display. They did have some paper menus but it only advertised the weekly special and the and the happy hour that wasn't available. As of March 2025 they still haven't got their liquor license so we're unable to sell the alcohol that they advertise. At this point I decided to order a variety of tacos. I got two beef hard shell tacos that were a 10 out of 10. The shell was nice and crunchy from the frying and the beef was full of flavor with cheese diced tomatoes inside and Mexican sour cream on the side. I also ordered three soft tacos. They were larger than your street tacos which was nice but they're about $3 each so you do get your money's worth. The asada taco and the lengua taco were worth the money. They were flavorful well seasoned and the lengua was very soft and well seasoned. The one disappointment that I did have was the pastor taco. You could tell that it wasn't cooked on a trompo. It lacked flavor and the chard flavor and texture. I would give this taco a three out of 10. The cashier was nice and the food was good except for that one taco. The place was very cleanly and well decorated for a small location. I will be coming back once they get their liquor license so I could try the rest of their menu.

    The guac looks a lil brown in the pic but only because I was a little late to pick it up, but when I spread it, it was nice and green!

    Ordered the carne asada fries with extra cheese and light sour cream and they did just that! It was super tasteful, the guacamole was fresh and flavorful, I didn't try the salsas but I will next time! The only take away I would say was the dude working behind the counter, I would say the customer service from him was not it, from when I called it in to when I picked it up, but the food was good and will definitely be going back!

    carne asada fries 10/10

I got a double double, animal style, wrapped in lettuce, and as a whole grilled onion. It's for! I don't get fries but the few times I do, I get animal style with extra spread and grilled onions, well done. The service is great. This is one place that rarely makes a mistake. I love the way they read the order back and all the little nicknames and special way to repeat the order. In-N-Out is iconic to California. I prefer this simple burger place over others. And it's affordable.

    Ordering inside was pretty straightforward and quick. The cashier repeated my order 3x to make sure…read moreit was good. I asked for the milk to take with us to our seat but the front cooler didn't have any. Our cashier said he'd go get it from the back. While waiting I filled up our large drink and grabbed napkins. Saw my party already sitting and met up with them. The table we had plus the others around us were all quite dirty. Trash piled up and dried on ketchup in spots. I flagged down one of the dining room staff to help us clean it off. When we ordered, we were about 20-25 numbers away. About fifteen minutes later our order was called. The milk still wasn't stocked up in the front cooler. Had to wait about 2-3 minutes for them to grab it from the back. Usually when I order lite-well fries they come out perfect. We couldn't finish the cold, soggy animal style fries. While eating my cheeseburger, the patty was pinker than usual. Used the women's restroom before we left. While it was clean and tidy, I noticed the leftmost stall (closest to sinks) didn't have a privacy guard. So heads up to anyone using that stall, everyone and their kids can see in through the huge side-gaps. We got on the road and soon after about 5-10 minutes in, we had to stop off for an emergency toilet break. Thank goodness we were near civilization or I would have been in big, big trouble. Stopped off up the road at the In-n-Out off Milliken. Never experienced stomach upset like this or gotten sick before at any other In-n-Outs. Will probably avoid this one in the future.

The spice levels are legit too--not one of those places where "hot" isn't actually hot. I've tried a couple different things on the menu and everything's been solid, especially with the sides. Nothing feels rushed or low quality. It actually tastes like they care about what they're putting out. Also gotta mention the staff--they've always been cool and welcoming, which makes a difference. It's just a good vibe overall whether you're eating there or taking it to go. Not gonna lie, I catch myself craving this place randomly now. Definitely worth trying if you're into hot chicken.

The sandwich is decent, chicken is juicy but was very bland even with the cole slaw and sauce. Fries were all over the place, some looked fresh, some looked like they had been recooked a few times. They were also insanely bland, no seasoning at all. The mac & cheese is well, terrible. I don't think there is any real cheese in it at all. It's very watery and honestly a box of Kraft is better and cheesier. I paid 75 cents for a side of sauce and didn't even receive it. My order was not complicated so not sure how that was overlooked. This place has work to do to improve quality. Will not be returning.

Instead, I had to leave a review on Yelp before being asked to contact Waba Grill directly. I did reach out, and now I'm being asked to follow up again. This process is completely unreasonable and reflects poorly on the company. Based on this experience, I will not be patronizing this establishment again. I will not accept being treated this way as a customer, and I will take my business elsewhere. In today's competitive market, if customers consistently made that choice, Waba Grill would risk losing its loyal base and potentially closing its doors.
