Our food came out in a timely manner and it looked really good. It looked like they cared what and how they made their food. I ordered their version on the BLT with avocado that had a pesto mayo and my husband ordered their special of the day, the Jalapeño smash burger. They were both good but my BLT was just okay. The bun was nice and soft but had very little of the mayo besto and for the size of the bun so I had to ask for more. They filled the bun with a good amount of avocado, lettuce, tomato, and red onions, there was only two thin pieces of bacon in my sandwich so my husband gave me two pieces from his burger to fill the bread to bacon ratio. The sandwich could have been better in my opinion if a shredded ice burger lettuce would have been used for the crunch factor since the bread was so soft and by using a thick cut of bacon for that sandwich. I don't know about my husband but I left there very unsatisfied and I was ready to by me some chicken stripe at the corner gas station.

What appeared to be a higher end restaurant in town was an absolute disaster…read more I will give them an extra star for their lavender martini but other than that I wouldn't recommend this place. Came with a large group for a wedding and their catering was awful - rude service and unorganized management. COMPLAINING TO THE BRIDE ABOUT THEIR LACK OF SERVICE! NO!! Went to eat my bread roll and butter to start and opened up the butter to a large mold spot YUCK! Considering you can't even keep your butter from not molding, I couldn't trust the rest of the food.

Being new to Porterville after living in San Diego has been a challenge. Yes the heat is maddening…read morebut finding a good burger in a new town is just as hard as tracking down a great auto mechanic. I have reviewed another burger joint here in Porterville and have given it top stars but I found J's on my way home after I spotted cars in the drive thru and a big J on the building. Good sign. So my dog and I turned into the shopping center and drove into the lane for ordering. I was driving. She was shotgun. I spotted a cheeseburger for $8.99 and had promised myself not to buy French fries and stick to eating healthy with the lettuce, tomato and protein from the cheeseburger. Wink. So when the mesmerizing and enticing drive thru voice asked me if I wanted french fries with my order, I immediately said no thank you. HOWEVER, I then spotted the SPECIALS sign which had cheeseburger, french fries and drink for the same price. I'd like to say at this time that it was J's fault for having that combo special on their menu that forced me to eat their fantastic fries. It also comes with a drink which I couldn't believe so I truly made the drive thru staff completely confused when I kept changing my order. IN ANY CASE, I was home within minutes and even had time to take pictures before I dove into drive thru deliciousness. Yum yum yum. I'm looking so forward to trying their recommended chicken tenders special. There is a special place in San Diego that has the best chicken tenders I've ever had (Lefty's pizzeria on 30th). I've even reviewed it. Let's see how Porterville holds up to the chicken tender taste test. Can't wait.

They have a wide variety of food. We were really excited to try it. I got the wing dinner, and my…read morekids got the chicken strip dinners. I also got an horchata and a banana split. The food is hot, the sings were slightly over cooked yet still very juicy. I wasn't a big fan of the taste. They tasted a little old to me despite the juiciness and the crisps outside. The chicken strips and mozzarella sticks were good. Great cheese pull. They could have used a little seasoning though. Now the ranch was very strange, it tasted like ice cream and I'm not sure why. So we didn't get to try our salads yet. Horchata was good, my son said his banana split was good. The bread was good but it could use a little garlic butter. Over all ok experience. Probably won't eat here again though.

Sad to report that the carried over "Coleman's" flour tacos do not have the same filling that they…read moreused to have. The old filling was thick like a chili and seasoned well. Now the flour tacos are just plain hamburger meat. To top it off, they're only half the size they used to be. The "Coleman's" steak sandwich is now almost $10 just for the sandwich! It isn't even close to what the original tasted like. This place will be out of business soon. They have all of Coleman's old recipes handed down to them in a book. They changed every one of them or got rid of them to cut costs. I know this will be the last time I eat here and I've been eating here for 50+ years. Guaranteed I'm not alone. What's that old saying? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Despite the name change and shockingly bright paint job, my mind still thinks of this as Colemans…read moreso when I got a craving for the steak sandwich, this is where I had to go. Like other reviewers have mentioned there still are some of the original items from the old Colemans menu on this menu, which, I'm sure is appreciated by the people who grew up here. I ordered the steak sandwich combo, and it tasted pretty much like I remembered. It was very filling, it doesn't look like much, not too pretty, but it's a good sandwich especially if you want something a little different than a typical burger. People working at the drive-through window are always very nice and polite and I have not had an issue with any of my orders. You do need to wait a little longer than a typical drive-through, but I never mind. As I mentioned in a previous review I do wish it was easier to get in and out of the parking lot depending on traffic it can be a little tricky because of the location of the entry/exit spots and the timing of the traffic lights. They have a wide variety of foods so if you are feeding a family or group with different wants this would give you a pretty good choice of making everyone happy.

This dish has everything in it, shrimp, chicken, carne asada, cheese, Mexican toasted green onions, two toasted jalapeño; served with rice and beans on the side. Rudy and Amador really enjoyed the rib eye; perfectly cooked. The enchiladas suizas were good, I like the sauce and toppings on them. The green salsa was amazing it tasted like some chilies were roasted while others were raw (crudos) so the combo of the two made the salsa taste even special - spicy just how I like it.

After my subpar experience at The Palace, I was looking for a new place to have dinner with friends…read morewhile in Porterville. Hoping for a place with good drinks and great food. One of them suggested we try Don Vinos as they have a decent bar area. We went on Friday evening and it wasn't a little busy but not so much that it was obnoxious. Also, even though it was busy, our waitress was on it. As soon as we sat down, she brought over menus and took our drink orders. When I asked about what kind of margaritas they had, she informed me which ones were made with fresh in-house squeezed juice. They all sounded amazing but I opted for the standard with fresh squeezed lemon/lime juice. Our drinks were brought to us not 5 minutes later and then we gave our orders. We ordered the chips and guacamole as an appetizer for the table. It was brought out shortly after we ordered it and was a good portion for 4 people. However, I just wish the guac had more salt as it was a bit bland. For an entree, I opted for the Chili Verde Pizza, which seemed to be the perfect item from this place (an Italian themed restaurant with several Mexican dishes). And, oh man...was this amazing. They use the chili verde sauce as the sauce for the pizza, which is brilliant. Also, the pork had just enough spice. All of my friends and I enjoyed our entrees except for one: A friend of mine had ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo he had on a previous trip to Don Vino's but told me that the new preparation was different from his last time having the dish and it was not as great as before. Other than that, we all finished our dishes and were satisfied. I definitely recommend Don Vino's as a must go in Porterville. The only things keeping me from giving it a 5-star review were the guac being a bit bland and the consistency of dishes being a bit off for my friend. Also, if you don't like super loud restaurants, this might be a skip as the acoustics in there are loud. Other than that, the servers are attentive, the drinks are delicious, and the food is good.
