    Drive thru
    Francisco C.

    I came here before the old location burnt down. The old location had some of the best charbroiled burgers that not mainstream restaurant could offer you. I ordered a pastrami burger granted I haven't been here more than 7 years since the old location burnt down. The burgers was to me just as good as before it had the same hole in a wall taste and charbroiled taste. I ordered some chili cheese fries and those were sub par but not everything can be perfect. From ordering to getting my order through the drive-thru I got my order in under ten mins with no issue. This location has been renovated and isn't like the old but if your looking for a great not to pricey old fashioned burger come to the golden ox it's best to enjoy it now!

    Food was cold and chicken is boiled on nachos ,terrible do not recommend this place, 2 nachos plates 45$ aleast hot food and stomach definitely feels not correct

    Beautiful classic cheese burger crunchy veggies perfectly sauced with hot peppers on the side I ate it too fast so he's a photo of the bag

    Receipt of almost $40.00 spent on nasty food.
    Ale A.

    First off, there a lot of homeless people that stay hanging out in here and although it's sad, you can't help everyone. They stare and come to you while you're trying to eat and some are out of it and get aggressive. The staff doesn't tell them anything. I ordered a cheeseburger combo with pastrami fries and the #49 which is an asada plate with rice beans and avocado. My cheeseburger meat was burned. Taste was ok. The pastrami fries were good. The asada plate was terrible. The meat was so hard it felt like chewing on a piece of rubber. For what we paid, you'd expect to get a decent dinner. Not to mention the fact that the staff is having loud gossiping sessions that we can all hear. I definitely do NOT recommend coming to eat here. Save your money, pay attention to the reviews, and go to another diner.

    Not very happy with my visit I order $60 worth of food. They put everything in one bag shoved it through a window. The condom bag exploded in the process and everything spilled bacon. I asked for it well done it was an edible my French toast were really good, but the experience itself and not being able to use the condiments make this experience not worth coming back

    Chicken strip plate
    Beverly B.

    It took them at least 20 minutes in the drive thru to make my order. I ordered a chicken strip plate for lunch one weekday and I don't think they even started making my order until after I got to the window, paid, received my drink and waited 5 more minutes. That is when I finally saw them drop the fries into the fryer. I should have looked at other reviews but I was in the area and hungry so I went here. I'm sure some food is good. It looked like many people were ordering burgers so maybe that doesn't take as long? However after all that, the plate was big ($13) but not sure worth the long wait and price. They do give a big side on ranch with it though.

    3 Taquitos Mexican Plate
    Jessica M.

    Avoid at all cost. It'll cost you double. Per the workers "this isn't the first time this happens" and when it does they blame your bank instead of checking their records to see if they actually double charged you. So their drive thru speaker sucks. I originally ordered a taquito plate combo, chicken sandwich, and double cheeseburger. Waited about 10-15 minutes to get to the window. When I pulled up they had added a whole other cheeseburger combo to my order. I let them know I didn't order it and they said "oh ok I must have mistaken it for the chicken sandwich my bad". So they take my payment and when I get my receipt I see they never took off the cheeseburger combo. At this point I said whatever we are all just hungry and it's late so I didn't make them give me a refund for that. We get home and check the taquito plate and realize they are hard as rocks. I know they are supposed to be crunchy but they should definitely still be edible! My daughter left the taquitos and barely had some beans. The cheeseburger I didn't order and they gave me was also burnt around the edge. So now I'm annoyed because I was over charged and the food wasn't even edible. THEN the next day I'm checking my transactions and realize that they double charged me. Had to drive there and I tried speaking to the manager but he wasn't there. (BTW it was super hot and musty in their I felt bad for the workers and the people trying to eat there) The girl that helped me was very apologetic and called her manager which he then told her he couldn't do anything because the payment hadn't processed yet. I asked them to check if they were over on their ATM sales because it was almost $40 and that's definitely noticeable and they said they were short last night so idk something isn't adding up. They said this has happened before and that I should wait because it might be an error on MY banks end and that the second charge "probably" wouldn't go through. So I waited and both charges went through. I then come to yelp and I see that someone else had the same issue. So either the workers are scanning twice or their machine is broken and they just don't care to switch to a non defective machine. Honestly the quality of food is not worth the prices either. NEVER AGAIN! I ended up going through my bank to get my refund.

    Breakfast burrito
    Ana H.

    Haven't had a breakfast burrito from here in a while until today. It will be the last time, burrito was all potato. Couldn't taste any egg or meats just mushy potato. Waste of $10 x3, no one ate them. We had to toss them.

I was hoping they would have a Taco Tuesday special or something but they don't... I ordered 2 carne asada and 1 al pastor tacos to go. They were prettty solid and delicious! Carne asada was really nice, the al pastor was definitely more flavorful, but it had more of the burnt ends, so it was either even more flavorful from the charred parts, or it was a bit hard and too crispy to have. Overall, still pretty nice though. I liked how they had the side bar, which it doesn't look entirely the cleanest, but pretty decent. Total for 3 tacos came out to be $9, so it's about $3 each. Kinda high for tacos imo, but they're pretty good.

Parking is limited, so we were happy to snag one of the last spots. This is an order-at-the-counter spot with a salsa bar, hot beans, indoor and outdoor seating, and even Mexican Coke. Indoor seating is also pretty limited, so my friend and I were glad to grab one of the small tables. I ordered the lengua and asada tacos and both were flavorful, tender, and loaded with meat. I was honestly too hungry and eager to take a picture beforehand, but I can assure you the portions are plentiful. The tacos were a little greasy, but still really satisfying. Solid taco spot if you're in Pomona.

But some shady charges or maybe we'll call it miscommunication just rubbed me the wrong way.

We've done this many times in the past and always been charged the same price for both. I asked the server at the end "the veggie version is 8$ more expensive than chicken?" And he just shrugged and said yes. Just found it interesting that a meat dish would be 8$ less than a purely cheese/veggie dish. Especially since done this in the past with no issue. I also asked for "hot sauce" for my dish. They brought out a spicier house salsa as the hot sauce...totally understandable and the salsa here is usually free. Apparently it's a 4$ "chipotle sauce" that the waiter did not inform me would be charged. I would've easily just said I want tapatio or no "hot sauce". I used maybe a teaspoon for 4$. I told the waiter this when we questioned the bill and he just shrugged. These may seem like small inconveniences but when they seem like they intentionally don't tell you the details and then when called out about it just kinda shrug it off, it was a disappointing end to an otherwise tasty dinner. We love it here and will certainly be back but it just sucks that I have to be extra cautious & skeptical when ordering from now on.
