Although I didn't get to try the sweet sandwiches, I'm sure they're just as well made. Everything is prepared fresh, and you can definitely taste the quality. The only downside is that the restaurant smells like old grease, and unfortunately, you leave smelling like it too. I think better ventilation would make a big difference. Other than that, I highly recommend this place for its fresh, delicious food and cozy atmosphere.

Elite Week at Portillo's!…read more Stopped by Portillo's in Katy for Elite Week, and of course we had to see what the hype was about! We went with the burgers, fries, and Dr Pepper floats. Baby, that burger was GOOD! It had that delicious flame-broiled flavor that I love, and the fries were cooked perfectly. Hot, crispy, and exactly how fries are supposed to be! Now...the Dr Pepper float? It didn't quite do it for me. It was way too thick, even after we asked for it to be made a little looser, and it was also much sweeter than I expected. I love a sweet treat, but this one was a little too sweet for me. But the burger and fries definitely saved the day! I'll absolutely be back because there are several other things on the menu I want to try. Burger: Fries: Dr Pepper Float: Not for me! Overall, a good first visit, and I'm looking forward to round two!

We ordered a hotdog, polish sausage, Italian beef sandwich, french fries, queso, dr. Pepper shake. The hotdog, polish sausage, french fries, and queso were really good. They pushed the Dr Pepper shake on me (I really wanted the chocolate cake shake). I took three sips of the shake because I really wanted to like it (I like Dr Pepper and I like ice cream) but I didn't want to torture myself so I threw it away. The tables were a tad greasy but the restrooms were clean. I would come back for the hotdog and Polish Sausage!!!!

The food was phenomenal -- specifically, the carne asada. There is usually a line to order and then it's first come first serve for seating, making it a bit challenging but very worth it!

We also enjoyed some aguas frescas on a hot summer day and the churros were a perfect dessert!

While visiting family in Houston we were excited to come across a "real" Mexican (as opposed to Tex-Mex...iykyk) taco shop. As soon as you walk in and see the Tijuana and Baja Mexico signs and decor you know you're in the right place. There's an open kitchen, allowing you to watch your carne being grilled on the open-flame grill. That charged meat smell is heavenly! Their guac is chunky and simple (nothing too fancy), hot sauces are tasty (and they have a kick!), tortillas are thin but strong -- holding the goods in just right. It's also nice that they have complimentary tasty, crispy pork rinds -- as opposed to the standard chips & salsa. Portions are ample! They definitely don't skimp -- tons of meat and guac in their tacos and huge, meaty burritos! Prices are fair, especially for what you get! Their dining room is a tad small, but it's very clean and the a/c is good...there's also a nice patio outside. Service was swift and friendly. Food was good. A/C was poppin'. Parking was plentiful. All in all I have to admit that Tacos Frontera comes as close to good San Diego Mexican food as you can get...they would definitely be able to hold their own in San Diego!

It's toasted perfectly where the outside has a slight crisp around the edges and the inside is soft and fluffy. It's really GOOD bread. I definitely prefer it over the likes of something like Subway, Jersey Mike's, etc. It's nice that they offer different sizes of sandwiches. There's the Nug (4"), Pinner (8"), and the largest size is the Blunt (12"). I ordered the Nug. It's just the right size to satisfy my appetite without leaving me feeling heavy afterward. I also love and truly appreciate the diverse vegetarian options on the menu. They're not just the basic boring raw veggies combinations either. It's super casual and laid back inside. Love their fun decorations. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There's a bar in the back with a large TV, allowing you to enjoy sports while sipping on a cold beer or cocktail. Glad they are in the area. For sure I will be a regular here. Just thinking about their bread makes me hungry.

I was still able to finish it. I'll still come back and maybe try something different next time.

You can come here for dinner or lunch. Today we got the classic burger and a build your own sandwich. The serving sizes were hefty and we definitely left with a happy tummy. The food was fresh and high quality. The wait staff was accommodating and so friendly. We even got to speak with the manager who made us feel like family. There was a large number of pies to select from which honestly was the toughest part of the whole experience. We settled with the key lime pie which was such a great choice but will definitely be back to taste the other types of pies. Lastly, this spot was bustling. We came around the lunch rush so there was a line. However, the line went quick and the tables flipped pretty quickly. We didn't have an issue finding a table and the wait staff was on top of it. This is a family friendly spot that had a southern, homey feel to it. Can't wait to be back for those pies!!

The next trip was tonight. We stood in front of the pie & ice cream counter and no one came. There was 4 younger folks standing by the registers area and they did not even acknowledge our presence or the folks that walked in behind us. I finally walked the 4 feet to the register to get the young man's attention and let him know we would like ice cream and a pie. He seemed a little put out at first but, in the end was pleasant to deal with. Nice place worth trying. They just need a little more awareness on folks coming in and giving them some guidance on where to order and acknowledging their presence. Welcome and can I help you down here would go a long way.

SHUT YOUR LIPS, and eat your Slim 5 with Extra Vito, Jack Ass! Cheap, easy, and always hits the spot. Consistency is good with all of the other JJ's that I've been to in the Greater Houston Area. The staff is friendly, and the service is fast. Tables are generally clean during peak times, and the phrase "free refills" is music to my ears. The negative reviews are really overly dramatic, and I'm grabbing a tissue right now for comfort. For realsies, Princess? I realize that they serve "gourmet" sandwiches, but please lower your expectations for a standard suburban "eat quick and get the rock out of there" dining experience. I do agree that the music can be a bit loud sometimes, and I will have the occasional MSG headache from the overly processed & salted meats...but I just take a nap, and it's all good. read more

First time at a JJ's; it was not what I was expecting. Though the name says "gourmet" (making me think of high-quality ingredients, healthy bread options, and toasted sandwiches), they say inside that they "aren't really gourmet, but just wanted to say that in the name". Seriously?!?! They are very fast, but they should be just slapping basic ingredients on white or wheat. The sandwich was okay... But I can't imagine ever eating at a JJ's again. read more

"HORRIFIC, DEGRADING, HUMILIATED, EMBARRASSED"…read more On 1/7/26 @ 18:17, I placed an order for a cobb salad spring mix only, with grilled chicken , no bacon with avocado ranch. The cashier a gentlemen was unsure how to ring it up and requested assisted of another manager. MARIA arrived at the register and states " I don't know if we can do that and walked off" She speaks with Susie who authorizes to have the salad fix with spring mix only. I said Thank you and waited in the booth for my name to be called. Once I received my salad, I noticed it was half full and it was the wrong chicken. I never even mentioned the chicken was wrong but inquired why was the salad half full. I was told that is how it is made by Maria. I requested to speak with SUSIE and she walked over. While I was standing there talking with SUSIE, MARIA stood there looking in my face while I was providing feedback of how I was treated with an intimidating look just poor customer service. I asked SUSIE if I can speak with her privately as I wanted to defuse the situation and not feel threatened by staff. SUSIE asked Maria to leave and she walked away. I then noticed a difference in SUSIE and I was beginning to explain that the salad was not correct as requested but before I can finish SUSIE states " Maam, I gave them permission to do the spring mix lettuce but that is not what we normally do" before I could finish, I asked why was it half full, i never opened it, I would like to pay for more lettuce, SUSIE says " I am not selling you anything and I am not giving you your money back" At this point I felt threatened, she walked away, I asked another worker for a bag and she politely reached me a bag . I proceeded to walk away, and SUSIE says " Let me know when the police gets here" By this moment, I am embarassed and humiliated. I was the only AFRICAN AMERICAN person in the store and it was one of the most DEGRADING MOMENTS IN MY LIFE. I begin to think to myself why are we always labeled, every BLACK WOMAN is not ignorant. I went outside to my car, called the police and three cars of police arrived. Deputy HALL 61, DEPUTy Hines 56 and Deputy Whittaker 62, two went into the store and one remained with me to hear my side of the story, he asked if I had my receipt and I showed receipt and food. I was so humiliated I was crying and just could not believe what was suppose to be a calm evening turned into a nightmare. ONce the other officers came outside they said I needed to take it up with the owner or management and the MANAGER on duty wanted me off of the premises. LIterally misuse of power but at this point I obeyed orders and left. It has been FIVE DAYS and no response from restaurant and this is utterly ridiculous. I have visited several other CHICK FIL LA and never a problem. I visited several other locations and was never treated this way. The other thing is I have met MR RUSTY WYLIE the owner before and it was pleasant but to think no one from management has reached out. CHick Fil LA CARES shows the information and complaint was received by the store and not one management team member has looked out. I guess I don't matter to them so it was surely devastating and I will never return back to the store but ultimately puts a bad taste in my mouth for CHICK FIL la period because there are no systems in place to ensure these matters are handled appropriately. I was told by CUSTOMER cares that because they are all independently owned they handle issues themselves.
