    This is a good clean Panera location with plenty of parking. The food is consistent with any Panera I have visited. The workers are always helpful. It is a fairly new location and I like the look inside. They are enforcing social distancing and have hand sanitizer when you enter.

    This was my first time to this location but the service was fast and friendly. I tried the bbq chicken salad for the first time off a whim but was very pleased that I took the chance. Ingredients were fresh, chicken was tender and they also provided 2 dressings (not sure if this is standard, but I very much appreciated the gesture). Overall this was a clean location and I would definitely return.

    I stopped going to this location because the workers always forget something in my order or give me the wrong smoothie.

    Quality food at good prices. They do a large takeout business. Seating area is rather small. Not able to seat more than four at a table.

    I've been recommended this place more times that I can count, so I finally made my way to Fresco…read moreMexican and was not disappointed. Food: I ordered their Cajun chicken quesadillas, which not only felt strangely authentic because of the style preparation, but it's the first time I've ever seen someone season the tortilla which I loved. Aesthetic: lots of seating both inside and outside, pretty simple set up. Service: having multiple people come to the table and help grab things, give us water, and provide us with the food was nice. Felt like a well oiled machine.

    My wife and I found ourselves with nothing to do on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, so we ventured to…read morenearby Chester to get some Mexican. Our regular "go to" places are either Don Jose in Netcong, or the Chapala Grill in Hopatcong. Both are great, with the latter being the upscale and expensive option. On this day, we tried Fresco as we had heard a lot about it. Upon arrival, I was immediately disappointed that we didn't bring our little Chihuahua, as it is pet friendly and a family of four were dining with their chi resting in a stroller on the outside porch seating area. Should we return, we will bring ours. We started with a Queso appetizer ($11.95), and of course they brought the usual complimentary chips and salsa. I liked that they had three sauces to offer, one being more of a pico with fresh chunks of onion and tomatoes, the other two thin sauces with one of them being hot. Very hot, I liked it. The chips were interesting, not your usual larger thin chips, these were thicker and smaller wedge style. They were okay, but I prefer the traditional. I"m not certain I can confirm that they were baked on premises, they didn't seem to have that quality. The queso dip was quite good, thick and creamy when hot, and spread nicely over the tortillas that accompanied it. This establishment uses corn tortillas, probably because I believe they are more authentic to true Mexican cuisine. My own personal preference is flour tortillas for both flavor and texture. As a side note, before anything arrived, our server placed a dish on our table and walked away. It looked to be some type of avocado dish, but wasn't sure. I didn't pay full attention to what my wife ordered, so I dug in and grabbed a piece. It was then that the waiter came back, I think he realized that he put the wrong dish on the table, and took it away noting a piece missing. They brought it back to the kitchen area, NOT to the other table....but still. In my 35 years of dining experience, they should have owned that error and simply left it as it was touched by a customer. To take it back and (perhaps) throw it away was bad form, in my opinion. Our meals arrived quickly, she ordered a chimichanga ($15.95) and I ordered the steak fajitas ($21.95). I should have known what to expect when the server never asked me how I like my steak, which is a consistent question in the other two venues I referenced earlier. The strips of meat were very thin, and very well done as opposed to the medium rare I prefer. Accompanied by traditional onions and peppers, but they were not served on a sizzling plate which is always a nice presentation. They were surrounded by a more than ample serving of yellow rice and refried beans. Again, corn tortillas were presented and not enough of them. They never include enough to fully stock the other ingredients provided. My wife didn't care for her chimi, and I didn't either as I reheated it at home the next day. She asked for it sans beans, so perhaps that was the issue but it was overly stuffed with way too much rice to meat ratio, and the meat included was rather bland ground beef. The outside should have shown evidence of being deep fried, but it was softer and the color was off...like it never saw the oil. That's what a Chimi is, basically...a deep fried burrito. It was off, not a great first representation. The young servers were just great, no complaints about service beyond removing that one incorrect dish. They do offer a better price for cash, but it's really a removal of the service charge placed on the bill should you use a card. Jury is out if we would return. If we did, I would bring my dog and a pack of flour tortillas! It is BYOB, which is nice.
