Supposed to be freshly made chow mein! It looks Ike I got the last of the pan before fresh was made!

Been to this one before and they were super friendly and the food was hot. Went tonight through the drive thru and we had 5 orders, so the chow mein had to be made fresh which is great, so we waited an extra 12 mins. Only to get home to chow men veggies! Hardly any noodles, so What was the point in waiting for Fresh food! Super disappointed. And a little pissed, as i live all the way in slater!

Staff not acknowledging me for 5 minutes with no one else in line

Consistently great food and I've never had an order wrong. The service can be a little choppy at times but it is rarely that bad.

My orange chicken was raw, which gave me food poisoning. Missed my exam because of that. Never again.

Food: absolutely delicious! The Pad Thai is a new found favorite. I love the flavors and the amount…read morein each serving is incredible! The shrimp was cooked well and the ingredients were fresh. My daughter loved the garden salad with balsamic dressing as well as how crispy the veggies were. The Cajun Fettuccini was nice and creamy with a slight kick from the seasonings; it meshes really well. The Pulled Pork BBQ Mac could've been a little cheesier in my opinion (I like a lot of cheese lol), but overall, the flavor was good and the pork was quite tender. Mixing the flavor of the BBQ with the Mac and the crispy onions was definitely a great choice! Can't forget the cheesy garlic bread, which was so good! It was perfectly soft and crunchy all at the same time and was packed with a garlic punch. I also really enjoyed the lemon Parmesan broccoli. It wasn't overcooked, so it still had a bit of a crunch and the flavor combo was perfect! Service: all of the employees were very nice as well as efficient. We were greeted with a smile and friendly demeanor when we walked in. We ordered take out and our food was ready in a timely manner. Nothing was spilling or overflowing making a mess. All of the food was packed nicely in bags that were sturdy enough to reassure us that the bottoms wouldn't burst out lol. Ambiance/atmosphere: the interior was kept up well and seemed very clean. There was plenty of space to enjoy your meal without being too close to others. It wasn't overly loud inside either.

Terribly slow service I mean absolutely terrible. It took well over 30 mins to get two bowls of…read moreMac and cheese. No sense of urgency in the staff who looked miserable. Go anywhere but This place if it looks busy.

This place was great. An absolute closet of a restaurant (although they do have seating inside AND…read moreout on the sidewalk), but that's irrelevant; the food and value were exemplary. Strolled in after the lunch rush, was greeted right away, and skimmed the menu for a minute. It's pretty straightforward and delineated well, but I later found there was a discrepancy in pricing between their website and the actual in-store menu. The website menu says a burrito is $7, but in-store, it's listed as 9 bucks, if I remember correctly. I'm realizing now I should've gotten some pictures of it. Sorry, gang; next time. Since I still had some walking to do, I went with the simple corn tortilla taco to go...and got more than I expected. They HEAPED on the meat, boys and girls! A generous amount of asada on my two little tortillas, then they piled my condiments on like they were my grandma who thought I was too skinny. It was glorious; I got basically two LOADED tacos for 3 bucks. My only minor, slight, teeny-tiny disappointment was the relatively scant amount of cilantro on my almost-authentic street tacos. The lime wedge was a fantastic inclusion, and, as I enjoyed my meal by Lake Laverne, I offered that spent citrus crescent to a nearby Canadian goose. He declined my gift. I'll definitely return to Mr. Burrito someday. The food was great, the staff was friendly, and their generous helpings are amazing!

Very small with only like 10 bar stools but the food is great! We had the 2 tacos, a quesadilla and…read morea water for $15.

We go here often. Photos from 1/21/26. 6:15 p.m…read more Take-out Food: Our food is always delicious. Our orders are always correct, and the food is still hot by the time we get home. They're quite consistent as well, making sure the wings are done the same way almost every single time. Every now and then, the fries are a little different, but nothing to complain about in my opinion. We tend to opt for the boneless wings, and they're typically really juicy. Also, the cheese fries are absolutely delicious! Their ranch is by far the best out there as well. Service: Our order is almost always ready quickly; sometimes by the time we arrive even, and we only live about ten minutes away. We order online, and they have gotten it right every time. The staff tends to be a little...cold? For lack of a better term. They aren't mean, but you're also not greeted with a smile when you walk in. Ambiance: It's a pretty typical sports-centered restaurant. Not too many decorations or intimate seating styles. They do keep it clean, which is a huge plus. The overall noise level varies, but it never seems to be obnoxiously loud.

I do, however, think there is a superior burrito place over on Lincoln Way in Campus Town, but I still love Chipotle. Clean and friendly environment with big portions.

From start to finish, this was one of the worst fast-casual dining experiences I've had. First, the white rice was undercooked. Crunchy grains in a burrito bowl is not what anyone expects from a restaurant that supposedly prides itself on fresh, quality ingredients. To make matters worse, they had completely run out of flour tortillas. At a Mexican-style chain, that's beyond unacceptable. The portion sizes were skimpy. My wife had to specifically ask the server for more beans because the amount she was given was laughable. Paying full price for half-filled bowls isn't exactly a value. The dining area was filthy--tables left unwiped, floors sticky, and trash bins overflowing. It felt like nobody cared about keeping the place even minimally clean. Overall, this was not a great experience. Between the poorly prepared food, lack of basic ingredients, stingy portions, and unclean environment, this location really needs some serious management attention. We left disappointed and won't be in a hurry to come back. I will say that the staff was friendly.
