    J R.

    Not impressed by anything about this visit. First thing through the door instead of a greeting or welcome was the cashier barking at us that it was cash only. That should have been the sign to just leave. We ordered, paid cash which was rounded off, and surprise surprise... no receipt. The food was greasy, very greasy. No ambiance, music, or anything worth going back for.

    Carne asada nachos.

    I ordered carne asada nachos and they only add 4 chips. How is that nachos for 17.99 not worth it. I don't understand how you could for get the nachos. I'm very disappointed.

    Avoid dinner. Asada fries are a soggy mess and street tacos are 4.75 each. I normally come here for quick breakfast, but quality has been going down. Will never come back for dinner

    Ordered chicken tenders and fries and they gave me 6 wings only for 10.75 which was a rip off and isn't what I ordered at all.

    Great food, especially the burritos, but is a little pricey. The other plates look good, but I am not willing to pay $14 to $15 for it

    The Chorizo Breakfast Burrito is fire. Not long wait time. You get to hear them cook and it very nice. Definitely recommend going to.

    All the food is delish. I have had the tacos, burritos, nacho fries (amazing) and breakfast. Jamaica is delish. Best red hot sauce in town!

She was right...it was the best I ever had., It's a whole in the wall place, but don't let looks fool you, the food was amazing and the staff was friendly.

I was happy to see they were open and went in and placed my order to-go for a chicken quesadilla, quesabirria tacos and an asada burrito. I tried everything and it was fresh and hot. The salsas were delicious and the hot red is spicy. I love eating grilled chiles with my favorite Mexican meals and appreciated the extras in my plate. Service was fairly quick and just as quickly as my order went in, it came out. I sat off to the side and watched three women working together in this small kitchen to get the orders our out and worked in beautiful harmony. Family run establishments and local businesses are my favorite to support. I think this one needs more kudos. They are attatched to the country store gas station in Carson. I believe there are just five tables in this dining room and seemed to have tables outside as well. Prices were good for the amount of food I got. I'll take that as a win in this economy. The only downside were the chips, but everything else was delicious! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

So many creative…read moreloaded-potato options, and they seem thoughtfully and generously prepared, with rich, quality toppings like delicious barbecue pulled pork, yummy mac & cheese, and much much more. There are so many tasty-looking choices. We've found them perfect for sharing, and this last time around they also offered us a sample of their homemade potato salad, which tastes like it was made fresh for a picnic right on the spot. We've also appreciated how clean both locations were, and how friendly the service staff was. I think the owner might have been working at the Hot Potato Pie 2 location, because we asked when they'll be coming to Reno and he said soon, coming to Virginia Ave. While stopping for a lunch potato has been a highlight of multiple Carson City trips for us recently, we're very much looking forward to easier access now that they're going to be local to us in Reno :)

I understand that they have specific vendors to get their food supplies from. But they ran out of a main ingredient on a Monday and couldn't substitute in a local sourced product? On top of that, they couldn't call and let me know? So I get their and told "We're out of sweet potatoes, we refunded it." Handed me my bag like that was it. I meal for 2 people. I then asked if they had a soup option. Was told yeah, birra. 10 min later that was ready. Not coming back, now waiting to see if I get a refund for the missing potato. I paid for the soup separately. The service was slow and very apathetic. Like they didn't want to be there. If you decide to try this place, go in person to put in your order. Don't rely on the website for accurate info. Edit: 4 days later and the promised refund of $15 is still not on my catd. Supposedly the put it in and it was cleared by their processor. I still don't see it though. Plus, the manager I talked to was rude and hung up on me. Edit: 14 days later and Order.co and the HPP2 are now playing the pointing games. Bunch of theives. Done with ALL branches of this business.

My wife could easily be a vegetarian, but the Candy Burger burgers prevent her from doing that. Do yourself a favor and eat at either the food truck or cafe, you won't regret it.

    So glad I finally got around to trying Candy Burger!…read more I've seen the truck around town in Carson many times. Finally, I knew they would be parked at the Bank Saloon with some live music on the patio. What better time to stop? When we arrived there was no line and we ordered the double bacon cheeseburger, the cheese curds, and fries. Holy cow! What a great burger and even better cheese curds! I honestly think the cheese curds may have been the best I've ever had. Better than Culver's! The burger was great too with juicy patties and crispy bacon. I will certainly go back to Candy Burger when I can hunt them down next. Luckily they are often out and about on the weekend evenings in Carson! Worth the search!
