Waited 52 min for this

Literally waited 52 min for some Corona Sada fires and asked for no tomatoes and they still got it wrong after 52 min and the gues responds " o my bad bro that was my bad " I literally waited over an hour and a half for these. The fries were not worth it to.

Carne asada burrito

This was my first time at Nancy's and it didn't disappoint. I got a carne asada burrito which wash delicious and wrapped to perfection. I also got a caramel churro that was very tasty and fresh.

5 rolled tacos with rice and beans

This is a great hidden gem right off the 94 and 125 freeway. Stopped in while I was waiting at the laundromat and was pleasantly surprised! The cook was friendly and very kind, as was the man who took my order. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area! The tacos were hot with delicious meat and the beans and rice were fantastic. Will be going again!

First time eating here Food was hot and great I will definitely be returning Ordered 2 beef taco combination I was told their omelets are killer good, so I think I'll get one next time

I came by here to have some T.J. tacos. You can get 3 for $3.50 and you can choose from carne asada, carnitas, adobada, etc., I had the carnitas. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=39OU34iaB1QhLLngaKgjyg) The 3 tacos on double mini corn tortillas will nicely filled with carnitas, guacamole, and salsa fresca. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=hKBtaOb1DniGDVhWgts50g) The carnitas were good and so was the guacamole. Their red hot sauce went very well with the tacos. The tortillas were good but they were missing that nice stoned corn flavor. Could of been better. For $3.50 these tacos were a good deal and tasted good. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=XEwcifi8Eft3poO2_QOW8Q The place is a little dingy and could use an upgrade. One may consider this place a borderline whole in the wall, but the food is good.

Caldo de res
Jamul P.

The Wendy's was full so I said let's give em a try, I am actually amazed with the caldo de res (beef soup) reminded me of a trip to the Mexican Sinaloa Sierra is gosh damn goood!!! With tortillas , rice and chopped onions cilantro on the side , and a nice huge Mexican medio litro Coca Cola , left the bowl empty , I can build a house in half an hour with the energy I got from this lunch !! Let's get back to work

California Burrito
Jonathan S.

This spot has one of the best carne asada in town. I kid you not this shit is like nothing you've had in a long time. Check it out and see for yourself. Compliments to the chef as well.

I came in person recently with 9 friends. They were able to accommodate us even though we were just…read morewalking in. The woman was super friendly even though it was a little chaotic. At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.

Highly recommend Oodles. I often get the fresh Salad rolls (the peanut sauce is exceptional.)…read more The service is friendly. The location is quaint but charming. My personal favorite is Dan Dan noodles with extra Dan Dan sauce. Noodles are exquisite and the meat is perfection. My only hang up is the price for the product.

This was a sleeper hit of a restaurant ... I live in Spring Valley, and asian food caters to the…read moredemographic #iykyk. I was a bit hesitant to try this place because I love chinese food and lately its just been hit or miss. Also, sushi/chinese can sometimes be not what you expect. ANYWAY, let me go back to my experience with Ayumi. Small cozy restaurant that has about 8-10 tables. Its apparent they do a lot of take out. It's in a small plaza but there is plenty of parking. You're greeted warmly when going inside, and there's an A-Frame in the front that tells you the daily special. The pictures here on yelp and google helped a lot in making my food decisions. I love my orange chicken not too much breading, and an even sauce to nugget ratio. Some of the other chinese restaurants in the immediate area are wayyyy too saucy or too breaded. I chose the Sweet & Pungent chicken, bc that sounded good ... boy it did not disappoint. It came out on a bed of crispy noodles and steamed broccoli. The pieces were evenly sauced and sticky the way I love it ... so I can only imagine the orange chicken, sweet and sour, and whatever else is fried will be decent. Definitely coming back just for this. My bf had the kung pao trio, and it was probably the most decent I've had in a while. The prices are reasonable for the area for the sushi, the chinese food, and even the beverages (some places be gouging for beer), and I'm going to be trying this place out for the lunch specials which is always a good combo of entree, appetizer, and drink. 5 stars for the chinese food, Can't wait to try the sushi next time.

So I was waiting until I actually dined in and had the full experience to write a full review but…read morenow that I've moved out of the area, I'm afraid I won't get that chance now even though this place was bookmarked for me to try for the longest even while I was in the neighborhood. So I ordered through GrubHub and I still think everything was delicious! They have a combination of Chinese foods and Japanese sushis. I ordered an Adam and Eve Roll which was good. The 2 main stars of the show were the scallop roll and the salt and pepper chicken wings! Okay where do I even start?! The scallop roll came from the basic rolls so I was expecting it to be pretty basic. No one told me they were going to put raw scallops omg it was sooo good and soft! Melted like butter in my mouth. Then the salt and pepper chicken wings might be up there on top wings in SD because not only do they load that thing with garlic but they also dice up tiny red bell peppers and omg what a game changer!

I ordered the Chilaquiles half green and half red salsa with scrambled eggs and Cafe de la olla to drink. The chilaquiles were even better than I remembered. The spice level was kicked up a notch. If you don't like spice, I would caution you. If you need to open up your sinuses, get this. The tortillas are nice and crispy. The eggs were cooked perfectly. I stayed to eat at the restaurant. It is very quaint and tiny. It seats approximately 40 (six tables of four, two tables of two and a long bar of approx ten). I came at the perfect time. About seven minutes after I arrived, so many people showed up and no seats were available. You know it is good when all customers are Mexicans. I would totally recommend this place if you are in the Grossmont or La Mesa area.
