    Hard shell beef tacos
    James H.

    Hard shell beef tacos are consistently great here. Comes loaded with beef, lettuce, a slice of tomato, and topped with cheese. Red sauce adds nice flavor. Made to order, and the staff is friendly at the order/pickup counter. The small dining area has a few tables. Worth the stop if you're driving through town.

    Fast, friendly service and order preparation. Loved my carne asada tacos. Guacamole made them special and the comp side of chips and spicy red salsa were much appreciated. Very fair prices. Food very fresh. Loved the A rating too. I ate in my car cause I was on the move from one work site to the next, but they had a nice covered seating area or room that looked nice and comfortable for those wanting to dine at a table, and seemed to have a tv. I love that!

    Haven't eaten here for years. I remember their burritos were very tasty. So I got on the tele, and ordered one Machaca and Carnitas burrito. Once I arrived, I told them I ordered via cell, and they told me it would be right out. Service is great and with a smile. The establishment is small with 5 parking spots but there is street parking. I received my order and was about to pay with my CC, but she said they only accepted cash. The Machaca was filled with shredded beef and very tasty. The carnitas had lettuce, guacamole, refried beans, and shredded pork. It was delicious. The refried beans were super good. Great place to stop for a quick meal.

    If you love Mexican food, avoid this place! They don't use cilantro or onions, it's more like "American tacos" lettuce and tomato. Meat has no seasoning, their salsas are water down. Never again!

    Great food. Been coming here for years. I highly recommend the Green burrito and taquitos!

I remember really liking it, but for some reason we hadn't been back in a while. This week my husband couldn't stop talking about wanting an Italian sub, and Frumento's immediately came to mind. We drove down and ordered the '58 Classic and another tuna sub, both as combos. The sides absolutely stole the show. The purple cabbage was so good, the coleslaw wasn't my personal favorite but my husband loved it, the four bean salad was absolutely mouthwatering, and the marinated mushrooms were also delicious. I'm genuinely so glad we have leftovers for tomorrow because I'll definitely be thinking about that bean salad again. We'll absolutely be back!

You can make any of their sandwiches into a combo plate for $3 more you get 2 sides (Mombo Meal). Their sides were good but not amazing, personally will be sticking to just their sandwiches. JALAPENO STACK -sooo good! Roast beef, turkey breast and Italian dry salami paired well together. Avocado added perfect creaminess. Their Cheesy Jalapeno Snack Bread is amazing, top had just the right amount of crisp from being toasted. FRUMENTO'S GRILLED PHILLY -opted for half roast beef and half smoked turkey breast and it was just what I needed. Solid hot sandwich. TASTE OF ITALY -a classic cold cut sandwich, it was good but their hot sandwiches were much better. Desserts were a hit or miss here. Tried the Strawberry Cheese cake and that was really good- creamy, airy and not too sweet. Tiramisu was a bust- mainly vanilla cake, bit too sweet, no espresso flavor, cream didn't have any mascarpone cheese flavor at all.

Keep in mind I ordered around 12:50pm and the sandwich was ready at 1:45pm. I ordered the Spicy Gabagool Sandwich, and there were barely any mixed greens as compared to other reviews & the menu photo (I love my veggies)! The meats were yummy, but they did not stand out to me/didn't taste anything special. Unfortunately, the same goes for the bread. However, I did like the packaging of the sandwich and everything in the sandwich tasted well together; the chile spread, burrata, hot honey, pickled onions, meats.. the spice level is definitely tolerable; I didn't need water at all. It was more of a small kick. I also tried their lemon crumb bar and it was very delicious! If anything I would come again to try more of their unique baked goods. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance of the shop. It is quite small and there are many people waiting for their order inside. There is only outdoor seating, which is scarce.

Service: 5/10 The staff were pretty timid, but they were nice. They took LONG ASF to make three little sandwiches. Bro, 30+ minutes?? For some sandwiches??? This is coming from someone who's worked food service. They weren't even busy fam. They had like 2-3 dine-in customers that already had their sandwiches and like 2 online orders. Also, some of the tables were dirty. Had to clean ours with a napkin. Ambiance: 6/10 The interior design was pretty nice. It did feel quite empty inside. The arrangement of the tables is pretty sporadic. They could definitely convert the tables into booths with all the space they got, but it seems like they don't get a lot of foot traffic. Parking lot was quite small, but my friends and I had no issues finding a spot. TDLR: Sandwiches aren't worth the price. If you don't care about prices, have at it. I wouldn't come back here purely because our sandwiches took 30+ minutes to come out as dine-in customers. Parking lot is small but found no problem finding a spot.
