The burritos do run a little on the smaller side, but they're packed with flavor and definitely hit the spot. The salsa bar actually brings the heattttt spicy spicy, not just "I promise it's hot" spicy and the guac has legit flavor. Best part? You finish your meal and casually wander next door because it's connected to an ice cream and fruiteria situation. Dinner + dessert without even leaving the building. Say less.

The taco was crispy and filled with delicious meat, and the consommé was rich and flavorful. If I hadn't been on the road, I probably would have ordered another one. The portion was generous, and the price was fair too. The service was quick, and the overall dining environment was bright and clean. Definitely a great local recommendation and a spot I'd happily come back to.

The food is amazing, the service is amazing. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. Try the tacos al pastor! Some of the best tacos Ive ever had. Everything is made in house. It's also a carniceria so the meat is good quality and fresh. If I could give it more stars, I would!

Server lady was nice but spoke no English at all. For $16 we got an empty quesadilla on a plastic plate, no sides, no dips, no sour cream or guacamole with it. For water, you get a 500ml Walmart bottle of water for the price of a pack. Seriously? The positive thing - very quick cooks. Very confusing checkout: we were walking around an empty restaurant to find someone to give our money to. And although there was plenty of staff around, nobody cared. I don't know why this place is so highly rated, maybe this wasn't our lucky day as white foreigners passing through.

The waitress who served us was wonderful, friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind to our dog. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous. The only negative part of the evening had nothing to do with the restaurant. A man seated next to us spent much of dinner being rude and entitled, repeatedly questioning how the salmon was prepared, criticizing the wine list, and generally acting unpleasant toward the staff. The blonde waitress with glasses handled the situation with impressive patience and professionalism. Honestly, it took restraint not to say something myself. She did a fantastic job dealing with a very difficult customer and deserves recognition for it.

Arrived in that quiet lull between lunch and dinner and found the place mostly empty. Once the…read morehostess finally reappeared and got the couple ahead of us seated -- and eventually us -- things improved. Our server stepped in quickly with menus, drinks, and a level of attentiveness that helped smooth over the slow start. The Fish & Fries was fine, nothing remarkable. The chicken tenders came out hot and were clearly real chicken, but they carried a noticeable fish flavor from the shared fryer. The Tuscan Spicy Chicken pasta was the opposite experience: a huge portion, easily enough for two, and genuinely flavorful. The Steak Soft Tacos didn't land as well -- the steak was a bit tough and didn't bring much flavor. Dessert didn't redeem things. The Chocolate Lava Cake á la mode had good vanilla ice cream, but the cake itself was dry, the "lava" was basically Hershey's syrup, and the whole thing lacked any standout chocolate flavor. A mixed visit overall -- some bright spots, some misses -- landing solidly in the middle.

Look, I read the other reviews, too. And far be it from me to say that what I *believe* about…read moretheir experience, and what they *experienced* about their experience should even be in the same sentence... but I will offer that those folks made the biggest Tragic Error that can be made at Sonic: They ordered food. Sorry Charlie, there's no excuse. Sonic is a dessert place, and any attempts to purchase a burger or any iteration of a fried potato here is an exercise in frustration and futility. It doesn't matter if there's bacon or cheese or BBQ sauce or liquid Bitcoin on the food-- it just doesn't compare to pretty much every other fast food joint you could think of. So why the four star review? Three reasons: 1. This place does ice cream shakes well. They make a good Sonic Blast here, and they didn't skimp on the add-ins. Ordering ice cream on vacation for three kids and an ice-cream-loving bride can backfire in a hurry if you screw it up. Thankfully, this Sonic drive thru didn't. 2. Close to my motel. Like, across the street from the el Cheapo Holiday Inn Express we stayed at on our roadtrip to Carlsbad Caverns last New Years. I could have walked, but why? 3. Service was great. OK, so there was someone in front of me in line in a "classic 70s Aunt-Car" who must have ordered 65 ice cream cones or something, because the gal working the window literally walked out to my car while I was still second in line... and this was after she did the same thing to the car in front of me while I was third. Brought me my change, gave me my desserts, smiled, wished me a nice evening... what a doll! Whatever this place doesn't seem to do for the locals with the order stalls they more than made up for at at the Drive Thru line. And the next morning, when we were leaving for SoCal, that damned car was still at the order window! (OK, not really, but it just seemed like it would have been.) Anyway, what have we learned? Ice Cream: Good. Food: Bad. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle! Geeeee Ayyyy Joooooeeeeeee.
