I ordered the B4 small combo which is the chorizo breakfast burrito. I added cheese for the potato oles. The total came to over $10. The burrito was warm but not hot. It was ok- it had jalapeños and hot sauce. The oles were good- crunchy like they should be. I already hate myself for eating this and I won't eat fast food for probably even longer.

We both got the Chicken Boss Bowl, and my wife needed to adjust hers to remove some of the dairy, and they got the order right. You'd like to think that would be a given, but it's just not the case. Food was fine...typical fast food fare. Chicken was a bit dry, but the other items in the bowl helped mask that. The dining area was clean and the food came out fast. That's kind of what you should be looking for in fast food, right?

The location is pretty cool - outside is very pretty to walk by and see and inside, and outside really, you see the trains go by directly next to it! That in itself already gave a cool ambiance. They played great music upon walking - Spanish station perhaps, but we loved it and as soon as we walked in were greeted with big smiles. It's a pretty big restaurant with a lot of room! An extensive menu also, we ended up with enchiladas, cheese crisp, and a chicken dish. They brought out some chips and salsa ahead of our meal, for the table, and that was lovely. Chips were warm but didn't seem super fresh although were still great. The salsa was quite mild but wouldn't expect different in the heartland. The service was wonderful and our server was attentive. As for the flavor of enchiladas - very good. Cheesy and delicious. The chicken was good, but being so close to Mexico coming from southern AZ we have pretty authentic close to native flavors. The seasoning was ok and the rice and beans that it came with were also alright. We were largely impressed with the service and structure more than anything. I was really happy with the michelada - such a staple for my meals when having Mexican so it was perfect!! We enjoyed overall and recommend. We may have to try others to have a better fair ranking of Mexican in Grinnell. But it's worth a try!

It was busy but not so much that we didn't get sat right away. Our server was also busy so someone else took our drink order - and then gave us menus. We ended up ordering the meatballs, a salad, and a classic pie, and walked out also with a cool vintage looking Pagliai's tee! The meatballs were large, came with two, and really flavorful. The sauce was classic tomato but not basic, you could taste the aromatics and that was so good. Basic salad but really delicious runny ranch to go with it, which I loved. I dipped the crust from my pizza in it and it was just so good! For the pie we split it in half - half with meats and the other half with special. The crust was thin and also seasoned nicely and couldn't say enough about how delicious the cheese was. It was so gooey and thick - it made the pizza so incredibly good. Besides our server taking us on due to the prior one being too busy, the vibes inside were chill and casual, music was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. Everyone behind the pizza counter had smiles and acknowledged you. Was a real delight. Everywhere in Grinnell folks rave about Pagliai's and we understand why. We'll definitely have to come back!

The phone…read moresystem to order was pretty efficient but, of course, automated with an option to speak to a human. Called at 4:55 and was told the pizzas would be ready at 5:18. I waited outside till 5:16 and went in. My first impression was of the dirty floor with an obvious broom by the back door and a significant amount of gathered trash behind it. The young people working didn't know about my order at first, then said it was not ready and they would make it in the next 10 minutes. Pleasant apology for being "behind". The two people working were loud and not appealing as I waited for my order. I waited inside and the food was ready in 10 to 12 minutes....not bad. The check out was very unfriendly, not pleasant and did not ask for my Casey's Reward. I asked how she was and was greeted with a sullen, "Alright". She has some trouble counting back the change but got it right. I asked about giving my Rewards # and was told it was too late because I was already checked out. This was not a good experience.
