Hand down the best elote I've ever had. Spent a few days in the city and was told I needed to come here to eat and I am so happy I did. I love the little tables, they're so pretty and gives great atmosphere. The beautiful lady behind the counter is a real MVP. She was solo and so busy but she held it down and pushed out some delicious food and drinks.

SOOOOOOO EXPENSIVE THEY TAXINNNNN!!! $12 on the board for fresas con crema , when they charge you up it's $15 "because they're so hard to get" maybe if they'd let us know before purchasing it'd be way more helpful than just charging you $15 for some fresas con crema which were terribly bad by the way ! Super sweet & tasted nothing like fresas con crema never tasted fresas con crema like these ! Also ordered a fruit plate $13 , fresas were soggy , the watermelon tasted like it been sitting there all day soggy as well , the apple was about to go rotten ! It was already looking dark enough from inside , never again!

This place is ridiculously overpriced. When I saw it was $13 for a cup of esquite, I hesitated but thought "oh well I'm already here". When I pulled out my card to pay, there was 50¢ fee to pay with a card I asked for extra mayo and the woman said it would be an extra fee for more mayo. She noticed my shock and proceeded to lecture me on how everywhere you go people have to pay extra for extra. I explained that I understood what she meant but that their prices were kind of high compared to other places. She seemed annoyed and said "well the prices are right there and it's extra for extra things". Super rude. Never coming back here.

Very good portions just more of on the expensive side, purchased a chacapepino and it was $15 with taxes. Very delicious just not very affordable.

$5 bucks I asked for a scoop of ice cream and they give me this. I can't believe they charged me that much for this cup.   Ice cream

They charge me five bucks for this cup of ice cream when I asked for a scoop of ice cream i'm so disappointed from this place now.

Decibels of the music. Maxed at 100 and average 85. Tell me you want me out of your business without telling me.

Food: Got two Açaí Strawberry Banana Smoothies. Huge. $10 each (2024). Plus for size plus for flavor. Really felt like real fruit. 5 out of 5. Service: Yes, it's bad. No smile, no greeting, had to wait couple of minutes to be addressed when the place was empty. Deadpan look of annoyance by the one employee lady. 1 out of 5 stars. Ambiance: Loud. 100 dB so that's real hearing damage after 5 minutes. Has disco lights. The employee turned the music off to take a 10 minute call. Then it was back and loud and so we left. 1 out of 5. Overall: 7/15, 2 out of 5 stars. Willing to update in the future.

I had this place bookmarked for a while and was excited to try it, but I wasn't exactly blown away so I don't plan on returning. I'll give them this -- they have a big menu here so no matter what kind of snacks you like, whether you prefer savory or sweet, you can find your fix here. And they have their own parking lot so that's a nice plus. When I went, I ordered just hot Cheetos with cheese. I thought $4.50 was a steep price for it because the bag of chips cost about $2, meaning just the nacho cheese alone was an added $2. Not worth it imo. The cheese wasn't the best and I ended up giving half my bag to one of my friends. I went with two friends and two of us were able to get our order pretty quickly. Our other friend, who ordered first, didn't. The employees at Frutería Don Chamango actually forgot her order. She asked for an elote and a nieve, so it wasn't even a complicated order. She waited about 15 minutes and saw other people get their orders before her, even though they ordered well after her. The cashier looked through the receipts and questioned when she asked for, then eventually had other employees make her food. She had barely begun to eat by the time my other friend and I were finished because the employees forgot about her

I've always passed this place and I finally decided to check it out! They have a parking space right behind the shop. They have a lot of things on the menu!! But I specifically just came for some watermelon juice. It was really good! They also sell some Mexican candy and chips here!

Found the best mexican cravings option in whole San Diego! Don Chamangos is a little far but was worth the try, they have an huge menu with tons of delicious options. Due to covid there's no indoor seating and only two tables outside, they lack of good ventilation so it was some hot inside so we just placed our order get some agua fresca and waited outside. We had the cheeto elote which amazingly is white corn not sweet yellow, and also the tostiloco which is big enough for two. I've got to say I wanna go back to try the diablito de mango and tosticamaron. Try this place it satisfies all sort of cravings wish they were in Indy

Low key spot, with good Mexican treats. I was feening for a Chamango and this spot did not disappoint. Came back a week later with the hubby and I got the elotes in a cup and the fresas con plantano y creama. Our tastebuds are satisfied.

Bad customer service won't be coming here again. Employees can't accommodate to simple requests. They were very short and rude in response.

I was craving fries and happened to be nearby, so I decided to give this place a try since I love…read moretheir fries at Petco Park! I thought I'd just get the fries since cheesesteaks seem to be their specialty, and I don't eat beef. But I decided to try their Chicken Ranch sandwich. The sandwich was better than I expected. I was picturing the basic grilled chicken sandwich--a piece of grilled chicken on a hamburger bun. Instead, it was loaded with tender, flavorful chicken, bacon, white American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch. Totally messy to eat, but in the best possible way! And the Cheez Whiz fries were exactly what I was craving. They definitely hit the spot. Customer service was excellent too! So glad I stopped in!

After a six-hour tattoo session, I had earned two things: a cheesesteak and absolutely no judgment…read moreabout the amount of food I was about to eat. Being from Philly, I take my cheesesteaks very seriously. Probably more seriously than a reasonable adult should. So when I finally tried Gaglione Bros. in San Diego, I went in hopeful. First, the good stuff. The staff was wonderful, genuinely friendly, the place was clean, and there were plenty of options. They even had Amoroso rolls and fresh-shaved prime rib. On paper, we were speaking my language. But whenever I try a new "Philly cheesesteak" place, I order my first steak plain. No cheese, no onions, no peppers, no hiding behind toppings. If you want to call yourself a Philly steak shop, the steak and bread should be able to stand on their own. Unfortunately, this one didn't. The meat was heavily salted and peppered, surprisingly dry, and every couple of bites I was pulling out pieces of fat. And nothing makes you question your dining choices quite like discreetly removing a piece of steak from your mouth in public. For me, a great cheesesteak has balance. The meat should be tender and juicy, with enough seasoning to bring out the beef rather than overpower it. There should be a little richness from the griddle, the steak juices, and everything cooking around it. Then you add the onions, mushrooms, peppers, cheese or whatever your particular Philly allegiance demands. This steak just didn't have that softness or heart. It honestly reminded me more of the tourist cheesesteak experience in Philly. And my fellow Philadelphians know exactly what I mean when I say that. A real Philly cheesesteak isn't complicated food, but that's precisely why every part matters. The bread matters. The meat matters. The griddle matters. And somehow, when someone really knows how to make one, you can taste the heart in it. Would I try Gaglione Bros. again? Probably not for the cheesesteak. The people were great and the place itself left a good impression, but the steak didn't. Mostly, the experience just left this Philly girl Jonesing for a long weekend back home, a walk down South Street, and a cheesesteak from that place. If you're from Philly, you already know which one I mean.

Coming back to send my love to my favorite sub place…read more I've sadly moved to a different part of town so Fatboy's is no longer a few blocks away. I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

I used to frequent Fatboy's because it was close and convenient for a long time, but I am rarely able to visit anymore... parking is a bigger challenge every day in North Park, and finding even a 15-minute spot takes way longer than the drive for me now (but the walk is too far to pick up a quick meal). Today I was down the street for something else so decided to order a sandwich. I was excited, then my jaw dropped when I saw the price increases. It's $18 for the North Park Club now, with no extras. I already had a hard time justifying $15 for a sandwich but I'm officially, 100% priced out now. I know it's not necessarily on the business owners; rent is exorbitant in NP, profit margins are small in the food service industry, and operating costs are high. Our city is eating itself alive, but thank you for the years of sandwiches!
