    Apparently you can make over $100k working for Panda Express!
    Jonathan S.

    Ordered through their App on the drive over from across town. Ordered a 2 item plate (chow mein, honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken). It was ready 5 minutes before the expected time. When I got there the restaurant was pretty busy with dine-in and drive-thru customers. Had to wait a few minutes for a diner to pay for their food and another person in front of me who was picking up an order. The lady who helped me was very nice. Order was ready as the App told me. Pretty good experience this visit, but overall service and food quality is hit and miss at this location.

    Line is crazy long

    We ordered the Family combo that came in a box and it was good. They got the correct items and it was a good amount for a good price. It was also ready on time when we ordered in the app.

    Sorry excuse of food

    Make sure you keep an eye on how much food they give you. One of the workers there makes sure they give you less than a full scoop of the orange chicken... THE ORANGE CHICKEN. I just opened my box and this is what I got. How goddamn ridiculous.

    Normally Panda is a great go-to for tasty Chinese food with fresh vegetables. I often order Kung Pao, and was happy to find their King Pao sauce sold in the grocery store. It makes for a great addition to takeout and is good for stir-fry too. Unfortunately, the location on Monte Vista has been slipping a bit lately with online orders, and tonight I brought home a meal for two and one order was completely missing an entree. Unfortunately, this is the second time. Not sure if the broccoli beef ticket is not printing correctly, or it's being missed by staff, but because this is the second time I came on to bring it to management's attention. Otherwise keep up the good work. Panda is a great restaurant franchise and I look forward to returning soon!

    Don't know why this Panda has such low ratings. This is my favorite stop on the way to Sac from the Bay. Perfect midpoint for a snack on the long drive home. I normally go through the drive through but this time I decided to go in as I had to use the restroom. Everything was cleaned and all the food looked fresh. There was a little crowd but everything went rather smoothly. I sat down and eat a little bit of my food before I went on the road again. I'm glad I left the Applebees earlier because I really enjoyed my meal. Place is located right off the freeway so it's easy to get back on. Would definitely say to come visit this location whenever in the area. It's clean and chill spot. Always a good meal for me.

The staff were friendly and efficient as usual, and there always seemed to be an employee cleaning the dining area. As most of them go, it was busy and pretty loud inside.

    Sorry to say I am reluctantly done eating at In-N-Out restaurants…read more After a lengthy drive and stopping for a hopefully pleasant casual lunch it turned into an absolutely awful experience. Finding parking at this location was a nightmare. It's similar to other In-N-Out locations. Not enough and the layout is impossible to navigate. Plus the line for the drive up window blocks many of the available spaces. We, like others, had to park in a parking lot across the street... no doubt that business loves that spillover??? First using the restroom was disgusting. It was filthy, not maintained and way too small for the volume of people. As a model they should know better by now. Does any staff check it occassionally? It was 1:30 on a weekday and they just couldn't keep up with the orders and the lines didn't move and it got incredibly backed up. Folks were getting super irritated. Then the bedlam of finding a place to sit and eat. People hovered over tables waiting for that last bite to grab a place. Children ran around unruly, screaming and yelling (OK, that's a parent issue, but staff should be trained as they walk around to tell them that's not acceptable). Then, the most disappointing part- the food. I'm sorry it's not what it used to be. The volume is apparently sacrificing quality. What happened? Even the fries were soggy and greasy. I should give it one star, but this has been a long standing mainstay for quick quality fast food. Sorry, no more. I left this experience upset and with a lump in my stomach. They had a model that worked but didn't expand the corporate 'mold' to meet the demand.

    We first discovered this place about a year ago and, tbh, we were not immediately impressed…read more.. mostly because we ordered the wrong things, I think... But... The service was incredible. One of us ordered a salad and she did not like the dressing it came with. One of the employees (Willis) overheard her mention it and was Johnny on the spot offering to remake the salad with a different dressing. Months passed and we went back. I immediately noticed how friendly the staff was. Like crazy friendly. Like... maybe they even enjoy their jobs friendly (in food service that is pretty rare). This time Jerry took our order. Super friendly and interactive. I mentioned that he seemed really happy. He informed us that one of his favorite artists was dropping a new album that night and couldn't wait to hear it. We went back a few days later and Jerry was there again. I asked him how he liked the album and then we got into a discussion of music. We discovered we had very similar interests. Anyway, we are now very regular customers. I have met Jerry, Willis, one of their new hires, Miah, and their new Manager, Travis. Every time I go in, if I meet someone new, they are just as friendly as everyone else. I am slowly getting to know them all. Also, I now have my favorites. The Almost Fried Chicken is really good as well as the Chicken Parm. If you are looking for a place with a positive atmosphere and good eats, be sure to put this on your list. I just want to add that I've now been there several times since writing this review and every time, without fail, the interactions have been unbelievably positive. It is SO obvious that they care about their customers. There are people I forgot to mention, also, so wanted to add extra shout-outs to Sierra, one of the managers, who obviously knows how to treat her employees and her customers. And I recently met Brae Lynn who seems to have been a fantastic addition. It's gotten to the point where I'd almost rather eat there than eat at home. In short, if you've had a bad day, head on over to Mendocino Farms and get a shot of positivity. I'm pretty sure that's free. The food is a bonus! Why go to some fast food place where people hate their jobs? We know it. They know it. They know we know it.

    This is a locals spot that has obviously been providing very tasty food to Vacaville for decades…read more If you come here you should expect to be full and happy. The food is good and they make you feel welcome. Ambiance is simple and like what you might expect at a well run family owned diner. The restaurant is clean and it is calming to enter. I looked, and every customer appeared to be really enjoying their meal...It had that kind of ambiance. Hospitality is a very welcoming 6 stars. They are attentive and treat you nicer than you expect at a business. The food is served in very generous portions and they make a good, house made, horchata. I recommend ordering some. If grandkids are listening, I say the food is pulled up a bit by you're hospitality. Pico de gallo? A blended maybe cooked tomato chili salsa? Freshly chopped onion and cilantro? The rice is a bit bland, but when combined with the red wet burrito sauce, it is fantastic. I think a drizzle of that sauce should be on the inside of every burrito. I am a foodie, and I am giving you a full five stars overall, but recommend a little more fresh veggie. I only write reviews if establishments are excellent or somehow a disappointment. Tacos Jalisco is excellent and deserves your business.

    I was in Vacaville on business. On my way out the door I paused, (my stomach made me do it) asked…read moremy host if the Mexican spot across the street was any good, and waited to hear his reply: "nah, not really. If you want good Mexican you gotta hit Jalisco". Say less. "Oh, and get their green salsa." Ok, you said a little more but we'll get back to that. I headed out the door and started driving. Soon I realized I didn't actually know where I was going (not unusual for me) and called the host. All sorted out I not only found Tacos Jalisco but got the (green) spot right in front. Valet parking would have been less convenient. Things were looking up. I went full gringo and bought a super burrito. Was it OK? No. Was it good? No. Was it great? Getting there. Was it superb? Warmer. Was it T R A N S C E N D E N T? YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was the sauce good? Ok, let's not do this again. Yes! The sauce was HELLA GOOD! How good? Let's just say they sell it by the bottle FOR A REASON, primo. For a reason. Did I buy a bottle? Uh, do people come from out of state to buy bottles to freeze? Uh, yes. So yeah, you best believe I copped a bottle. Call the burrito Davíd Blaine because that lil hommie disappeared real quick. (I got the al pastor which was perfect btw. ) The ambiance? I don't know. Do you remember the color of the carpet when you were at the California Lottery's finance office to pick up your Powerball winnings (you picked lump sum)? Then you know what I'm talking about. A lot of tops. Place was clean. Menu's were easy to read. The very nice lady working the register was hella cool and even offered up suggestions when I was vacillating. Lots of dudes in the kitchen so my to-go came out real quick. (Lots of cooks to me means they're doing a brisk business. Which means fresher food. Faster service. Etc. You know the ------ vibes! So all I have now is this bottle of green salsa and the knowledge that refills are only $5.00. For life. Yes they make it fresh every damn day. Stop playing. Maybe I'll see you at Tacos Jalisco when I'm filling up my bottle.
