    Came here a couple weeks ago late night not too far from closing time. Workers here were very nice. Drive thru was busy so I was patient at front counter. Restaurant was very clean inside and outside. I ordered my usual items that I would regularly get since it's been a while since I've been to one. I got two Double chili cheeseburgers, regular fries, and a Large Mountain Dew. One burger was for my daughter, the other of course was mine! All items were so good as I took this order to-go and ate it at home. Definitely would come back here again! Old school fave!

    Tommy's has the BEST chili burgers! I've been craving their food for MONTHS so of course they were at the top of my list of places to eat at while visiting my family in Cali. I wish they would expand to other states so people can enjoy their delicious food. But I guess for now they will be a delicacy I can enjoy when I come back to my home state. Go to order is their chili cheeseburger with chili, cheese and onions with a side of chili cheese fries with onions (yes, I love onions!). I'm definitely going to miss enjoying their food since I don't currently live in Cali. But I highly recommend for anyone visiting or living here to try them when they can. Their chili is the best I've ever had!

    Went a little overboard when ordering since it was my first time but I'm glad I did. Ordered a chili cheese burger, chili cheese dog and chili cheese fries. The hotdog was my favorite followed closely by the fries the chili and cheese is the perfect amount for me because I love a saucy meal. We went through drive through and the gentlemen helping was sweet asking if we wanted and ketchup or yellow chilies which I'm glad he did because I love some spice with my meal. I'll definitely be back for a chili dog and fries !

    We happened to be in the area and needed lunch. So we stopped in for Tommy's since it had been a while. We were disappointed, to say the least. First, we noticed how expensive it was. My cheeseburger meal was $15. We paid about $45 for 2 combos, chili fries, and a burger. I would be willing to pay the $45 if the food was worth it. But it wasn't. The cheeseburger was eh. The chili itself was more mushy than with whole beans. I was also sad to see Pepsi products instead of Coke. Despite the food, service was good. The lady at the counter was friendly. Store was clean too. And a side note, their restrooms don't have changing tables. I went to change my toddler and had to have her stand up to change her diaper. I didn't want her to have to lay on that ground.

    Finally got to try Tommy's for the first time and I wish I had them sooner! I've known about them for a long time too, damn, where has the time gone?! I tried the chili burger that has tomato, onions and pickles with a good amount of chili-excellent. What a great idea to put chili in a burger. Really changes the dynamics and brings the burger to a different level. The regular fries we shared are thick cut, not oily or too salty and a good amount. Since we biked there, this was a good amount and did not feel overly full or heavy. In n Out is good, but from now on, the next time I'm craving a burger, I'm coming to Tommy's, hands down. They also have other interesting items too like the caliente burger or the chili tamal. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Bike racks right outside. Highly recommend!

    Breakfast Burrito

    I tried the Chili Breakfast Burrito at Tommy's, and it did not disappoint! The chili adds the perfect kick of flavor without being too heavy, and the burrito itself is packed and satisfying. The eggs and potatoes were cooked just right, and everything blended perfectly together. It's definitely a heavy breakfast option that hits the spot and will keep you full for most of the day! The drive-thru service is quick and efficient, and the restaurant is always clean and well-kept.

The food was amazing and the prices were very fair, but unfortunately, the customer service completely ruined the experience. The woman taking the drive-through orders was extremely rude from the beginning. While I was ordering, she kept rushing me and seemed irritated for no reason. When I got to the window, I asked to add one more item to my order, and that seemed to make her even more upset. She immediately started yelling at the other employees, telling them to hurry up because "this lady needs her food." I had literally only been sitting at the window for maybe one or two minutes, and there was only one car behind me, so I'm not sure why she was acting as if I was causing some huge inconvenience. Her attitude toward me was rude and unnecessary, but what bothered me even more was the way she spoke to the other employees. No employee should have to be yelled at or spoken down to like that, especially in front of customers. I asked for her name, and I believe she said Jesse, Jess, or Jessica. I couldn't hear clearly. She had very short grayish hair. I don't know if she was having a bad day or what the issue was, but there is no excuse for treating customers and coworkers that way. I genuinely love the food here and would absolutely come back because of the food and prices, but management really needs to address the way this employee speaks to people. One person's attitude can completely ruin an otherwise great experience.

We ordered the: - Saigon 22 Herbs & Spices Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Tandoori Flavor Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Cajun and Jamaican Jerk Flavored Wings All the Combos came with one side and a drink. Didn't have to wait long before the friendly owner brought out our foods. Service was quick and the restaurant is nice and clean. Wow, the wings and tenders are bigger than most chicken places we've been to. All the four flavors we tried were very tasty. The portions were so big, we ended up taking the rest of them home. Overall, we enjoyed eating here. It is just unfortunate that they will be closing at the end of the month.

I ordered a three chicken taco combo with rice and beans. With a can soda, tax, and a credit card fee, my total bill was about $17. More than I expected to spend, but oh well. The food was ready quickly, served on a cardboard plate that easily weighed 3 lbs. from the weight of the food, which included lime wedges, a bunch of grilled onions, and a whole grilled green chili pepper. The tacos were street taco style and stuffed with delicious chopped grilled chicken, tender yet crispy, and diced onions, cilantro, and fresh avocado slices included (no extra charge). Really good. The refried beans were so good, just the right consistency and flavor, with a little shredded cheese on top. Almost as good as my mom's. The rice was fluffy and plentiful, obviously made fresh. But it could've used a little more flavor. They offer three types of salsa that you serve yourself. I tried the green and the lighter red one. Both good. When I first got my order I didn't think I would be able to eat all of it because it was so much food. But it was really delicious and I was pretty hungry, so I devoured almost all of it (left some rice, the grilled onions, and the roasted chili pepper). I'm about to cook dinner now but I'm still thinking about that lunch I ordered. My dinner won't be as good as that was. Don't be turned off by the looks of the place (weird exterior; dark and unappealing interior). Some might call it a "hole in the wall". But you know, some of the best Mexican food can be found at those places. You can also order to-go if you'd rather not eat there. I think they also have a drive-thru. If I'm back in the area I'll make a point to get something to eat here again.
