Ordering was simple and convenient with a touchscreen setup at the counter, though I do think having a menu posted on the wall would make it even easier for first-time visitors. The wrap itself was huge, which was a nice surprise. Visually, it looked great -- definitely Instagram-worthy. But taste-wise, it didn't quite live up to the presentation. The chicken was a bit tough and messy to eat, and I only made it through half before calling it quits. The space itself was minimalistic in decor. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a try, but it probably won't return.

Jalapeño Express

Tasty taco truck with bold flavors, but a bit pricey for what you get…read more Jalapeño Express is a small food truck parked in a dental office lot, with a few casual tables nearby and a speaker strapped to the truck for ambiance. It's a one-person operation, so service can be a bit slow, but the food feels authentically made with care. We ordered the 2 burritos, 2 tacos, and a drink deal. Burritos are medium-sized, comparable to Chipotle, and while one is enough for me, the full combo would just satisfy a bigger appetite. The burritos were a bit soggy and could've been more generously filled. The tacos were the stars -- palm-sized but packed with flavor. The tripa taco was perfectly fatty and crispy, while the lengua was soft and flavorful. I'd come back for the tacos over the burritos. Drinks are self-serve from a cooler in front of the truck. There are two self-serve salsas -- a fresh green one and a spicier red; I preferred the red for its kick. Price-wise, it's on the higher end for a taco truck, which might be a drawback for some. Still, the taste delivers. If you're not in a rush and want a casual, no-frills taco stop with strong flavors, Jalapeño Express is worth trying.

Tijuana Flats

3.9(156 reviews)

It's been a good number of years since I ate at Tijuana Flats! And that was back in Missouri,…read moreprobably in the 1990s. I liked it then - and I like it now! I'll say first of all, the parking lot isn't the largest here for the stores that surround it. I was blessed to get a good spot right in front of the door as the driver was pulling out when I drove in. As busy as it was around 30 minutes in, I'm sure some had to look hard for parking. Just be aware of that if you go here for dinner. You may want to be early. Tijuana Flats has pretty wild decor. It's different and hard not to like it. However, it seems to have some age on the interior and I think it could use some renovation. But people really like coming here. You can tell there are a lot of regulars, especially on Taco Tuesday. Though I didn't have the taco meal deal, I can say on Tuesdays you can get two tacos, chips, and a beverage for $7.00. And the tacos are pretty good-sized. In fact, most of the dinner plates I observed here were Taco Tuesday meals. But I wanted to try something more on the speciality side. I chose the enchiladas with the verde sauce. I didn't heat it up with any salsa - I actually forgot about that! But they were good in their own right. It does contain six items, but you can decline any of them if you choose to. The garlic lime bowl is something very much worth your time! You can choose from three different proteins and we had the beef version. It's sauced up well. The cheese and other veggies warmed on a layer of grounded beef and rice was pretty excellent and worth trying again in the future. I think customers would be happy with either of these. The service provided on this evening was pretty solid overall. They give good attention to the customer at the counter and the ones in the dining area. It took a while to come visit a Tijuana Flats restaurant. But it sure was worth it! Recommend: HIGH

I always leave this place feeling a little better than I did when I came. The employees here are always very polite, friendly and helpful. They always greet customers warmly and go out of their way to make your experience pleasant. Firehouse subs in general, no matter which location I visit, have the best subs compared to other chains. The meat portions are generous and do not taste like wax paper, as they do at a certain other chain. I have never had a bad sub at Firehouse. I will continue to patronize Firehouse Subs, and I especially enjoy this location. read more

I had a great experience at the Firehouse Subs off University Boulevard. The app wasn't working when I tried to place my order, but Bernie and the staff went above and beyond to help. They honored the discount without hesitation, were extremely friendly, and made the whole process stress-free. On top of that, the food was fresh and delicious--exactly what I was hoping for. Excellent customer service and tasty subs make this location worth recommending! read more

There was one girl taking drive thru orders and in store orders, so we waited patiently. But she was clearly in distress as she called for another coworker to come help her, the other girl came but seemed upset to have to do her job. The place was also not the cleanest and not stocked in the dinning area, but with being under staffed, i can understand. Overall, i would not go back. I can come back from mediocre food, and try again, but i can not come back from bad service. Management has to staff this restaurant properly. It has so much potential, even a "hey, welcome" makes a difference. I see the vision, it just needs a manager that cares.

The Double Bacon Deluxe didn't just show up... it sat there like a leather-bound encyclopedia of bad decisions and good intentions. Two beef patties, bacon stacked with the confidence of a Vegas magician, cheese melting like it had absolutely nowhere else to be, and a bun somehow keeping the whole operation together like an underpaid middle manager. I took one bite and briefly forgot my social security number. The cheese curds? Absolutely unhinged. I pulled one apart and the cheese stretched so far I'm pretty sure it was trying to establish a long-distance relationship with my soul. Crispy on the outside, molten dairy sorcery on the inside. By the third curd, we were emotionally invested in each other. Then the custard entered the arena. Smooth. Cold. Dangerous. One spoonful and I started forgiving people from my past. Would I come back? I'm literally writing this from the parking lot, planning Round 3.

I ended up ordering the Sourdough Melt with onion rings and my son a double ButterBurger with cheese and fries. I always opt for the diet root beer as I think Culver's has fantastic root beer. My son loves coke products (me too) so we love their drink options. I do have a problem with cashier's asking if you want sauce for your side but not telling you it will cost extra. That's just not cool to me. Especially since their ranch really sucks. Our food was done quickly. My only issue is the onion rings were not hot, but I was too tired to say anything. The burgers were good, as expected. Overall it's a nice Culver's location. I think there should be some more training for cashier's, but I'd visit again.
