I was actually headed to a Chinese restaurant nearby when The Taco King caught my eye so I decided to check them out . The cashier was friendly and my to-go order was ready in just a few minutes . I went with the chicken tacos (Arizona Style) and was not disappointed ! Everything tasted fresh and the chicken had a great flavor to it . Along with the nachos and cheese side , It was a good lunch that hit the spot ! I will be back to The Taco King when I'm back in Albert Lea - I'm thinking maybe Enchiladas next time . .

The area around the restaurant looked clean. When we bit into our sandwich, we noticed the sausage tasted different than what we were used to in California. Not awful, just noticeably different. About a week later, we inquired at a different McDonald's and they told us they use different products in different parts of the country, that everything isn't all the same.

Qdoba is basically Pancheros or Chipotle only with an unpronounceable name. Is the Q silent? Is the…read mored pronounced like a u? Is it like Worcestershire sauce and the name is pronounced completely differently from how any reasonably intelligent person would expect? Truly, a mystery for the ages. As a business traveler, eating healthy on the road can be challenging. A burrito here isn't the healthiest thing, but by comparison to the Pizza Ranch directly behind this place, it's like gobbling Dexatrim. If you have never been to any of these types of places, it follows the "point and shuffle" format where you move along a cafeteria style ingredient bar and point at everything you want in your burrito or other dish. Service is quite fast, as the server needs only to slop a spoonful of each ingredient on your tortilla or into a dish. I saved the best for last: the amenities! This place has electrical outlets! Glorious 120 volt AC electricity! As a professional on the road for work, this is a luxury that I rarely get to enjoy when dining and working. My laptop has one of the most power hungry GPUs known to mankind: the ravenous RTX 5000, which eats battery life like Pac-Man eats dots. When it's time to get some work done after eating, having electrical power right at my table makes my life less stressful. I can focus on my work and not be stressed out about how long my battery will last. This place is awesome.

We made a quick lunch stop at this Jersey Mike's location during a recent road trip. It was…read moreconveniently located right off of I-90, so the family pointed it out right away. Our stop was on a Saturday mid-afternoon. The store was clean and the workers were friendly. The order taker / bread cutter / meat slicer was friendly and engaging. He got us started on the right foot. Then the next employee, putting the rest of the sandwich together, took this visit downhill for us. She, despite asking us each what ingredients we wanted / didn't want, managed to mess up several of our sandwiches. For example - I ask for "easy mayo" on my sandwich. Later i was wiping off gobs of mayo that were oozing from my sandwich. One of my daughters always gets a ham & cheese, plain with just pickles and oil. She even said, "no vinegar, please." The girl still drenched her sandwich in oil and vinegar. Another member of my group asks for easy vinegar...boom, soaked in vinegar! For the most part, we just rolled with the sandwich errors. The "easy vinegar" person tried their sandwich but later elected to go back for a remake. I love Jersey Mike's, but in today's world with everything being so expensive, you've got to make sure that the customer is getting what they ask for. With 5 people in our group and only 1 or 2 getting what they asked for, the score for this location takes a hit. Not bad...good location, clean store, friendly employees. Also, not good with the lack of paying attention by the sandwich maker. Maybe if I'm ever passing through Albert Lea, MN again, I'll give this place another shot!?

Both of our burgers came out well done. When I told the waitress that they were well done, she said "well I put it on the ticket" and walked away. I tried to take another bite but it really was way overdone and for me it was not worth eating (my husband ate his and said even though it was way overcooked he was too hungry to not eat it). Next time the waitress came around my husband flagged her down and told her that my burger was much worse than his and I really couldn't eat it. She said she would take it off the check , but didn't ask if I would like anything else or have it re-made. Luckily I had ordered a side salad and ended up just having that and eating something else once I got home.
