    Super clean and well stocked.
    Victor A.

    Very clean, great food, amazing prices and friendly and polite staff. Panda Express in Buellton, California is consistently a great place to grab a meal and you will always be satisfied.

    2 high chairs and 2 patio chairs blocking 1 of 2 exits during business hours 7pm on a Wednesday

    What is up with blocking one of only 2 entrances/ exits to the restaurant. The door closest to the checkout was blocked on the inside by 2 high chairs and blocked outside by 2 patio chairs. I thought that was against the law to have only 1 unobstructed exit during business hours. This was 7pm on a Wednesday.

    Very bad service, no refund for overpaid money!No more comeback!...........................................................

    It's a Panda Express. It's right in line with what you expect from any Panda Express. The dining room is a little smaller than the ones I'm used to, but it's all good. Honestly, the orange chicken is the best orange chicken of the style, so that's always good. Staff was nice, all good. Did mark down for not having brown rice or hot mustard.

    I've never had a good meal at any Panda Express, but it was late, we were hungry, and we were tired of hamburgers and tacos. We should have had burgers anyway. The Panda's meats always seem to have been sitting out forever and smothered in some kind of unappetizing glaze. Everything is bland, even the rice. Sometimes you just have to eat somewhere just to remind yourself why you never eat there, and this was one of those occasions.

    Horrible customer service, and terribly prepare food. You may suspect that the staff would be kind and open to all, but they made me and my family feel like we should have found a different food place. They also didn't have white or brown rice stating that it would take 2 hours to make (rice takes 30 minutes maximum to make even in great quantities). On top of the continuous lies, the staff member continued to act unprofessionally by smashing her fist on the counter and smirking at us. The lady who assisted us in our order has dark hair and wears a ponytail with a hat, and we visited at 6:30 PM.

    True, it is smaller, there was only one server (Alexis, and she is fantastic, as others have reported) and one cook.

    I was in the area for work a couple days looking for a new place, came across Burritos Lalo. Great…read morelittle spot, family owned Mexican food place. Love these kinds of spots. The staff was really nice, lots of people coming in to get food to go, so a popular spot. I really liked their salsa, not spicy, which I normally like it spicy, but this was just packed full of flavor and could have just ate that with a ton of chips. They do have a little spicier option, which I got to put on my fajitas. They do give you chips and salsa with your order, so I did eat quite a bit of it, soo good! I would come back just for the chips and salsa. The food was good, I got the beef fajitas. They were tasty and the portions were generous. Lots of beef and veggies. The rice and beans were ok, I have had better, but not bad, just had better. The place is not large, but they do have a number of seats inside, they also have a little patio outside as well as a large picnic area, which was a pretty cool surprise to find. I would definitely come back again, staff was really nice and the food was tasty; can't get enough of their salsa, but would probably pass on the rice and beans. Enjoy!

The tortillas are warm and soft, the salsas have the right amount of kick, and every bite feels homemade and satisfying. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. This is one of those spots you want to keep to yourself--but can't help recommending to everyone. Hands down one of the best burritos around!

Speedy fast. They had us back on the road in no time. They also had signs showing new items which I liked as it can be hard to see on the menu. I usually never look at the menu because I already know what to order.

This time, when we entered, we immediately noticed the ordering kiosks (3 of them) and no employee behind the counter at the cash register. There was still a register at the counter so maybe we could have ordered there, but we didn't see any staff appearing to man it the whole time of our visit, so I'm not sure. We used the kiosk and while that was adequate, it took WAY more time to order than if we were talking to someone who knew what they were doing. I also hate the aspect of cutting jobs to replace people with computers, and would much prefer ordering from a human being. Our food order took a little longer than I expected, but it was hot, freshly made, and accurate. We ate inside, and the seats were some of the most hard, uncomfortable seats I've ever had to endure. I know they don't want you to linger, but this was nearly painful. Restroom was fine, and the young woman we did interact with to get our food was friendly and polite. I'll stop here again because they have gluten free options and they're right off the 101, but I hate the new ordering system and dining in is sort of awful.

There's plenty of seating inside and out for your relaxing enjoyment, depending on the weather. There's plenty of dedicated parking. We were greeted right away, and since we were a large party of nine, it took just a couple minutes to sort out a table arrangement for us. In the meanwhile, we browsed through their merch collection. Our server was friendly, efficient, kept up with all the little bits of this and that that people needed, and was, naturally, knowledgeable about the beer selections. Some suggestions were made and sheets were filled out. There were some sharsies amongst us with the beer tastings which gave us an overall wide sampling. One of us really likes sours, others like deep and rich, and others like light. It was wonderful to get a bit of a taste from a wide sampling. We all really enjoyed our food, too! Everything was delicious! There are brewery staples, but the menu here could stand alone as restaurant fare - super bonus that it's at a brewery! We have mixed dietary needs in our group (gluten free, keto) and all of them were met. Fabulous beer and lunch with friends. I'll definitely come back here next time I'm in the area.

We were staying about 20 mins away, so it wasn't too out of our way. We arrived right before noon and there was plenty of parking. We headed into the taproom and checked out the place. It's a very nicely built brewery and it was pretty lively inside. There was the option for outdoor seating, bar seating and booth seating available. It was a beautiful day outside, so we opted to sit outside. The staff was very kind and attentive. I wasn't feeling like drinking much, especially because I was going to be the one driving next. I already knew I liked the Cali Squeeze Blood Orange, so I ordered the Cali Squeeze Peach Pomegranate this time, which was deliciously refreshing. My hubby ordered a variety of barrel aged beer like the Parabola and Anniversary are the only ones I remember. All I know is he really enjoyed them, especially with his Cali-Western Smash Burger he ordered lol. I ordered the Mezze Burrata & Chickpea Salad with Chicken which was amazing! I would love to eventually visit their other locations. Totally recommend!
