    Chili cheeseburger with side of chili cheese fries!
    Darien C.

    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!

    California Classic Cheeseburger

    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.

Stupid me for just checking that I had 4 burgers tonight, and not unwrap them to check them individually. When I got home I find out that every single one was wrong. I had hungry kids so I tried to scrape off and salvage when I could to get them eating, and then drove all the way back to get it made fixed. When I asked to speak to a manager, apparently there is no manager there in the evenings, I told the woman who came to the counter that every single burger was wrong and showed her the receipt. She asked what was wrong about them, so I started going down the list and she never offered to remake it the right way or really offered any remedy so I said just refund the whole thing if you're not going to even offer to make it right. If I have to do your quality check, and unwrap every item to scrutinize it, I would rather just not give your restaurant my business. I tried to get in touch with their corporate office and they have not responded in a week. Looks like the whole thing is going downhill since Corky passed away. What a shame.

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.
