    We grabbed some dinner to go while staying in the area. I was very impressed by the menu selection, food portion sizes, how fast the food came out, and overall taste of everything we ordered. We had a couple of strawberry shakes which were simply delicious. We also ordered the California Patty Melt, and Fried Shrimp and fries which were both great. The staff is friendly and fast, and they have an inside amd outside dine in areas along with a drive through. We had such a great experience that we ordered a couple egg and bacon, and egg and sausage tacos the next morning to go which were delicious.

    Chili Cheese Fries
    Karen D.

    I have driven by this place so many times and never stopped. I was missing out. I got the chili cheese fries and the zucchini. Both were really delicious and so reasonably priced! Staff was very friendly and the drive thru was fast

    Burger

    Fried zucchini!!! All day, every day! The fried zucchini is really good. It's crispy and cooked well inside. I saw one of the Yelpers recommend it, so I had to try them. They did not disappoint! The fried zucchini was a 10/10 for me and my husband. The Oreo shake was great. It was creamy and had a smooth consistency. No chunks of anything. It had good flavor too. The Oreo was there, but it wasn't over-powering. Solid Oreo shake! 10/10 Here's what I didn't love. My salmon plate with hummus and a salad. The salmon was cooked well, but it had zero flavor. It was a bit dry inside and with no flavor, it was hard to eat. Just tasted so bland. Every bite felt like a chore to eat. It did not excite my taste buds in anyway. I got halfway through the salmon filet and decided to stop torturing myself. Tossed the rest in the trash. The hummus didn't taste fresh. It tasted like store bought hummus thrown on my plate. Not good and also lacking on flavor. The salad was fresh. Overall, this was a disappointing plate for me. 6/10 My husband got a burger, chili cheese fries and a hot dog. He was raving about the hot dog and burger. He loved those. I would say he was a 10/10 for those easily lol

    Chicken Teriyaki
    Kenny B.

    The food here is excellent!! It always comes out fresh and hot. We got the Chicken Teriyaki and it came with house salad with your choice of dressing. The Chicken was tender and juicy, the Teriyaki sauce was flavorful and sweet. The Fish & Chips was also delicious. The fish portion is big and it was hot and crispy. The breading of the fish had the perfect crispy texture and the meat of the fish fillet was generous. The fried Zucchini is what brings us back here. One order will feed my family of 4. The crispyness of the Zucchini is on point and with the ranch dressing is like indulgence in every bite. The service here is also good and the place is clean. This one of our favorite fast food spots and we visit often. Highly recommend this place, especially try their Fried Zucchini.

    Gyro plate
    Vanessa G.

    The Grill is a good place to grab take out. I miss the old restaurant before the remodel. Now it seems to small for dine in. I used to enjoy a beer and sit at the spacious tables. Anyhow, the gyro plate is delicious and affordable. The hummus is good and the salad is amazing. Service is always good.

    Way better than expected. Stopped here as I was driving by and I'm glad I did. Too many options so you know I'll be back. Friendly service with an ultra clean dining area.

    Dang.... 5 stars for the Fried Zucchini with Ranch. The ranch is tangy and the fried zucchini has the perfect batter.
    Krystle G.

    The Grill's Fried Zucchini and Ranch is all I need to get. It is dee-lic-ious! The zucchini is thin, not thick, with a perfect crunchy panko batter. Then you have a great balance of a tangy ranch to compliment the Fried Zucchini, all make this place have the best Fried Zucchini dish to me. At least, I haven't found a better one yet. But right now, this is my go-to for Fried Zucchinis :) Thank you The Grill!

    Pancake breakfast
    Tamara T.

    Recently my coworker got lunch from here and brought it in the office and offered some of her fried zucchini and when I found out it was from here, I was sold. I've been by 3 times since then and I've tried a patty melt, the club sandwich and the pancake combo. Overall I'd say the food is really good. I used to work close by to Paul's Place and I'd say Paul's is still my fave, but the Grill is the newer, nicer version. Every time I've stopped by, either in the drive-thru or at the counter, the staff ladies have been so nice and helpful. I feel like the customer service here is more mature than going to a chain restaurant. The portions are great for what you pay. I thought the patty melt was ok, the pancake breakfast was standard mom and pop to-go pancake breakfast combo and it was filling. My favorite things I've had so far are the club sandwich and the fried zucchini. The best club sandwich I used to get was from the Fullerton Marriott and this just reminds me of that one. It's really good, filling and it's nothing crazy that strays from a solid club sandwich. Also, everything goes great with ranch. I would stop by here over a chain restaurant because the service is great, it's clean inside and newer and the food is solid.

    Breakfast plate
    Kendrick L.

    To my surprise, this small spot was absolutely packed at 11am when I came. I always drove by so I decided to check it out for brunch on Sunday and when I say it was packed, I mean literally every table was full including their outside dining area. Luckily a small table opened up and I was able to get seated with my 93 year old grandma. This place is a local diner, so I was surprised how full it was. They sell Mexican food, American food, Mediterranean, and breakfast foods. I was so confused on which to get because as I looked around, everyone was eating a mix of everything. I ordered the #5 which came with 3 eggs cooked to actual perfection, a huge plate of hash browns, couple pieces of bacon, and some French toast. Everything was perfect cooked as I'd imagine, and by the end of it all I was extremely full. I enjoyed every bite and the workers checked up on my table plenty of times, so A+ for service. From the looks of it, it seemed like everything here on the menu is a favorite, so I'd definitely come back for brunch again or to even try something new on the menu.

    Gyro Dinner, New York Steak, Onion Rings, kid chicken strips
    Herminio T.

    This drive through was amazing. I got so much food for a reasonable price. And it was fast. The steak was a little over cooked to my temperature, but the flavor was spot on. The onion rings were a highlight. And gyro plate was equally delicious. I didn't try the chicken strips but my kids loved them. Definitely my place to go if I'm ever in the area again.

    Chicken sandwich
    Mary E.

    Amazing. Home style feel and cooking. So many options! Open everyday from 7am to 10 pm and have a drive through. For sure a win!

    For some reason my breakfast order is always mostly incorrect. My order is always just eggs, hashbrown , and pancakes which is what I ordered. The girl proceeds to tell me if I want any sausage or bacon which I say no to because I don't eat any meats. She asked if I was sure because it was still going to get charged I said okay can I just get it on the side. It gets picked up and the has brown is missing when it was brought up to them they said my plate doesn't come with a hash brown that whatever I'm ordering there is no plate combo that has that I went back to the menu to make sure if I maybe had looked at it wrong but nope #5 has everything I asked for except the bacon that I did not want. I understand mistakes can happen but this happens almost every time I get breakfast.

    Taquitos
    Katie S.

    We found this place on yelp while looking for something quick and family friendly on our way into town. We're so glad we gave it a try! The inside is clean, bright, and inviting. The staff are so friendly and ready to help with anything you need. They were patient as we reviewed the menu and looked at pictures as first timers. As a large family of 4 adults and 2 kids, we ordered the 4x4x4 (four burgers, four fries and four sodas) and added on one more burger and decided we needed to also try the taquitos which were so good! When the food came out it looked hot and fresh and tasted delicious. I'd say this is a good alternative to those looking for more variety than your typical McDonald's or Burger King, as they also serve breakfast and a few Mexican dishes. The zucchini fries were heavily recommended and reviewed on yelp so we upgraded one of our fries to those and they did not disappoint - it was like a panko breading. I did reduce my stars from 5 to 4 due to no high chairs or changing table in the bathroom which as a mom is important to me.

I have to say that we had a wonderful time eating some scrumptious food! Everything was prepared to our satisfaction and tasted absolutely delicious! My daughter (my Princess) had Birria Al Vapor which were seasoned perfectly. She really loved her dish! My wife (my Queen) had fluffy Waffles with tasty scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. She was totally satisfied as well! I had the combination Flajitas Flat Iron with tender chicken breast meat, juicy sautéed shrimp, and moth watering steak. My meal was Bomb!! Both the Flajitas and the Birria Al Vapor came with rice and beans as well and were quite filling! Lagos gets an A+ for the food for sure!! We were fortunate enough to have Rene Gonzalez as our waiter and he took excellent care of us. He was pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He took his job seriously and seemed to enjoy every minute of what he was doing. He kept our drinks refilled and ensured that we had everything that we needed and wanted to enjoy our meal at this establishment! Shout out to you Rene, as well as all of the other waiters and waitresses who worked and also stopped by our table during our meal to see if we needed anything . It was awesome to see everyone working together and getting along so well! I can see how this place can be so popular because of staff like these guys!! Thanks to you all for handling such a busy day with professionalism, grace and warm smiles while doing so! This is truly commendable! We will definitely be back! As far as the ambiance is concerned, Lagos is a stunningly beautiful building on the inside and outside! It has beautiful arches and high ceilings which are adorned with authentic sculptures and pristine lighting. There is ample seating in various sections of the expansive restaurant, with comfortable seating both inside and outside! The atmosphere is warm and comforting, and all patrons seemed to enjoy their stay while eating and fellowshipping together! This was totally Awesome!! We had a swell time and would like to highly recommend Lagos in Fullerton to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, in a professional, friendly and absolutely beautiful restaurant!! Nicely done guys!!! Especially you Rene!!!

I ordered the asada taco plate; they were the most plain and dry tacos I have ever eaten. My first thought at first bite was that even street tacos taste better than these. The shrimp plate was also plain, with the rice tasting undercooked. So disappointed with the quality of the food. Nice place though (the restroom needs a bit more attention) . Our waitress was friendly and the restaurant has nice décor.

It's not a big restaurant but they spaced it out great and have a great bar,western, Hispanic vibe to the whole place. I loved the artwork and photos with frames. The service was great, between the bartenders, check in and our host we were always tended to and asked how we are enjoying our experience. Now.. when I heard taco buffet... I'll admit I was skeptical. So when my buddie suggested this for our foodie group I figured give it a shot. I'll start by saying ... I'd go every Tuesday lol it was a simple buffet they had every meat you needed, the carne asada was good, the chicken was good, the barbacoa was friggin delicious my favorite was the Al pastor. And the mushrooms ... usually at buffets have dry or oily food and this was pretty damn good to be honest. I think it's a solid business plan to do taco Tuesday like this. On top of all that the mini churros were good, the salsas were delicious. The chips were alright I think that's the only thing that was ok for me but overall I enjoyed myself very much. ALSO!!! The mango margarita!!! PERFECTION!!!!!

My no-carb-loving husband was ultra jealous. The options at this taco Tuesday bar are seriously impressive--at least six different proteins, nacho cheese, pozole, all kinds of salsas and toppings, plus four flavors of agua fresca to try. And to top it all off, you can end your meal with crispy, sweet churros! This spot is definitely worth checking out, especially on Tuesdays. Come out and have some fun!

You're better off parking along the streets and walking here. It's a casual dining so you order and then sit wherever you want. There's indoor and outdoor seating. During rush hour, it's pretty hectic. The salsa and toppings bar is located right next to the ordering line, so people were constantly squeezing past each other to get through. It wasn't very convenient, and with the restaurant already being on the smaller side, it could easily feel cramped and overwhelming for anyone who doesn't like tight spaces. However, I do like that there is an open salsa and toppings bar. They even have pickled onions, radish, and carrots. The salsas were very good as well, not overly spicy. I tried the carne asada, pastor, and chicken tacos. All of which were really good and well marinated. Meats were tender and not dry at all. Just on the taste alone, I'll definitely be back and will be paying with cash or debit next time. They definitely need a warning for credit surcharges and hopefully it won't be a rush hour next time I go.
