Never been compelled to leave a Yelp review until today. Downloaded the app just to leave this review. Only because they forced me to download the DoorDash app otherwise, I wouldn't get my food they said. The wait was long, the service from the young man behind the counter was indifferent--bordering on poor, the food was excessively salty, less than ideal, and cold by the time I got home because of the wait from them making me stand there and download an app to confirm the order. I order via DoorDash web and they made me download the app because they said they needed to visually confirm me clicking "received order." Never had to do that. All in all, poor experience.

4 Taco Plate (Tuesday Special)
Richard L.

Had the Tuesday lunch special, 4 taco plate. Selected Al Pastor as meat and went with hot salsa. The meat was good and salsa started off with small amount of heat that built up toward the final taco. The lunch special turned the normal 3 taco plate into 4 tacos, making it a filling lunch. Definitely worth the price. Friendly staff and quiet atmosphere with a steady stream of to-go orders walking in.

Looking for some late lunch so grabbed 2 special Asada fries crinkle style fries, Asada and cheese topped top tomato onion chopped. I grabbed a burrito mujado. Great as always as well as filling. The proprietor always friendly sorry forget his name. I love the atmosphere of the place history along the walls. The original Joe's and the Norwalk skating ring and past customers. Atmosphere = 9 Food = 9 Wait service = 8 Specials = 8 Main proprietor = 9 I recommend this mom and pop. To sit in or to go. Got horchata and other drinks

This is another place large chili cheese fry and bacon cheeseburger for 2159 taco Joe's B Robin people

I went into this place to order a small pastrami chili cheese fry and bacon cheeseburger the price was outrageous. Small chili cheese fry and a bacon cheeseburger came out to 31.79. They charge me for a small chili cheese fry then also charge me for a a pastrami sandwich and a bacon cheeseburger then when I ask the question about does a small chili cheese fry come with the same amount of pastrami as a sandwich. The guy told me way less than a sandwich.... I just don't understand how you can charge someone and they not receive what they're charged for this place is robbery and that cook is shady. it's already hard for people out here for them to be taking people's money.

My husband and I have been wanting to try the Ube sliders for a while, and we decided to get that. We also go the Panda Style fries with spam. When we got our food, everything looked so delicious. We've had the Panda Style Fries before. And it never disappoints. The fries have great taste from the seasoning to the sauce. And the spam brings out that saltiness the fries need. I love the grilled onions on top. We usually eat it from the top to the bottom, so we usually don't get much sauce or toppings when we get to the bottom. I think it's meant to be mixed, but we don't want it to get mushy. The be sliders were good. The patty, sauce, and grilled onions were good. The Ube bread didn't have much Ube taste to us (imo). And I felt like I was getting more bread than the actually patty and what was inside the burger. I felt like I could have used more sauce to soften up the dry texture I get from the bed. But overall it was good. This place is located inside the Steelcraft so it has a nice, chill ambiance. The place can get busy, especially when they are showing games. But a nice place to hang out and chill over some food and drinks.

He was very friendly, especially when I told him it was my first time there. He handed us a postcard like menu, which I thought was pretty cool. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. He asked us if we would need any additional condiments. We asked for ranch and it wasn't missed. Win! We paid him as he had a tablet with him and when we got to the window for our food, everything was ready and hot. This place was organized and on top of it! My food was delicious! The burger reminds me of your backyard barbecue and In-N-Out. The patty is small, the vegetables were crisp, the bun was fresh. I would definitely get a double patty next time. The french fries are really good, they were cooked perfectly and they had a good flavor. They were also fresh and not oily. All in all, this was a great visit and the food was good. I would definitely return.

WOOOOHOOOOO a wonderful experience!…read more Alright firstly is the food great, yes! It's a fast-food drive-in burger joint okay so let's talk about it. When I walked last night 15 minutes before close, no one was trying to rush me out and still asked if I wanted to eat there. This was delightful because usually people are completely poops about it. I wish I knew the young man's name who was the cashier he was so kind, outgoing, and just overall super bubbly and friendly. My had a small baby and I went in first to order and then went outside to trade with my husband so he could use the restroom as we waited for our to-go order. Without me sharing any thoughts with my husband the first thing he said when he got back is how supremely friendly the young man was and how he swears his attitude was contagious because he came out with a smile on his face. The food itself as mentioned was great. We took advantage on the specials for the double cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich. I know people will debate it, but I enjoyed the well seasoned and tasty breaded sandwich much more than In-n-out. The chicken sandwich tasted so high-quaity in comparasion to most fast food sandwiches I've ever had and priced so affordably. The entire resturant and the restroom were impicaly clean, the defintion of "sparkling clean". This location really has it together and the chose the right person to be in the front dealing with their customers. Truly a wonderful experience!

Now I stood in front of this establishment their 4 screen menu and special that jump on the screen, for two specials. BBQ bacon chopped sandwich.. You can watch the grill as the cook staff makes the food. Impressive how the young man manages the grill with pride. Counter staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Food is made to order so it takes a few minutes which is great because it's fresh and hot. The special we got was any sandwich and drink and they had two more special flashing that's why it took a few to decide. The sandwiches were well made hot, tasty and good size drinks also good size. So so tasty so filling, bread to meat ratio well done. For a mall food outlet this place I recommend price to product is good They are POS ready and even have a kiosk if you want to order Food = 8 Quality = 8 Customer service = 8 Price to product = 8

Gotta say I was not impressed. Start with the Pros. Its fresh & hot made to order, wait time is expected when food is cooked fresh, but nothing, literally nothing stood out. I tried the Spicy Jalapeno Smash Burger, patty was nicely seasoned, but nothing popped. Sauce was ok, ingredients were ok, fries were nice but. Ot enough tj bring the rating from a solid 3. Solid Mid-rating, not the best but def not the worst. Did not try the chopped cheese samich, did not want to be more disappointed than what I already was.

There are multiple food spots to choose from, so everyone can pretty much get whatever they're feeling. They'll have live games playing and sometimes even live bands, which makes the atmosphere even better. I grabbed a cocktail from the bar this time and it was really good! Overall, just a great laid-back spot to eat, drink, hang out with friends, and enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely one of those places you can come to without much of a plan and end up staying for a while.

Nice little area in downtown Bellflower. This is similar to the one in Long Beach, Bixby Knolls…read morearea. It's nice that parking is accessible in the front on Bellflower Blvd. and in the back parking lots. There are areas where you can sit on stools or on picnic benches. Also several corners where there's shaded trees and a swing bench. It's nice to have the eating area in the middle of the courtyard, but I really don't like the dirt area. But I get that it's probably easier for spills to be soaked up so people don't slip and it's less maintenance. If you're a fur-parent don't worry, there's even a couple bowls from which your pet can get fresh water from their drinking fountain. Or just bring your own bowl and fill it up at the water station. It's really a pet friendly place. We brought our Shih Tzu along and saw another dog sitting on the bench. Food choices are good, you can enjoy a beer and burger, tacos, Filipino/Korean fusion, Coffee, Boba, Argentinian food. There's also a big screen which they televise sports games. Price wise it's about $15-$20 per person for a complete meal.

I came here when they first opened, and the setup was pretty straightforward. You order at the counter and wait for your food to be prepared. During my first visit, seating was somewhat limited, although I believe they've since expanded to include more tables and bar seating. One thing I really enjoyed was being able to watch the burgers being made while waiting for my order. There's just something about watching those patties sizzling on the grill that makes you even more excited for your food! I also love being able to see my burger prepared right in front of me, knowing that everything is made fresh to order with quality ingredients. I've tried their Single and Double Smashburgers, both with everything on them, along with their crinkle cut fries and strawberry shake. And everything (no pun intended!) was delicious, fresh, and satisfying. When you order your burger with everything, it comes with grilled white onions, American cheese, mustard, and their house-made pickles. I especially love that they use Martin's potato rolls, which are incredibly soft and pillowy but still have that perfect chew and bite to hold everything together. The grilled onions add a savory sweetness, while the pickles bring that tangy crunch that cuts through the richness of the beef and cheese. And speaking of their pickles, they're so good that Nilly's actually sells them separately by the cup! They also make their ranch dressing in-house, which you can order for an additional charge. Another thing I appreciate is how customizable their menu is. You can add their house-made chili to any of their burgers, hot dogs, or fries. They also offer impossible meat and gluten-free buns, making it easier for people with different dietary preferences to enjoy their food. Since my last visit, I've noticed that they've expanded their menu to include patty melts and pastrami, which gives me even more reasons to come back! I already have my eye on their Chili Cheese Hot Dog and Pastrami Fries, and I'm definitely curious to see how those compare to their smashburgers. All in all, Nilly's is a great neighborhood spot for anyone craving a classic smashburger without all the unnecessary frills. I love supporting a Filipino-owned local business that's putting out quality comfort food, and I'm happy to see them continuing to grow and expand their offerings. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!
