    6/24/26 Toms # 1 World Famous Chili Burgers Ontario, CA...Came here on free cheeseburger Wednesday 6/24/26 at 7 am opening for the first 10 customers ashleyisthebest 1 of the 3 locations! The cheeseburger was so good! I also ordered a large order of chili cheese fries and a peanut butter coffee! These were great items as well! Tom's # 1 has the best chili around!Who knew for breakfast! I also ordered a BLT sandwich to-go for my daughter's work lunch! The cashier lady and the cooks were very nice! Get here and get your free cheeseburger while supplies last, there was only 9 more after me! See ya here!!!

    Chili Cheese Fries (Large)

    I asked for chili cheese fries and got a WHOLE BUNCH of onions on top I called to see if they changed the topping on chili cheese fries and they said no I said I'm not sure why I have onion on my fries then they wanted to to drive back to show them mind u I live in rancho not a close drive never again .

    Club Sandwich

    Ordered the Club Sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. It was huge! It came with ham, turkey, and bacon so it was a hefty sandwich. A little hard to eat though.. every time I took a bite everything kept wanting to fall out. I really liked their French fries. They were crispy and had a nice seasoning on top. Overall, it was a good lunch.

    Wet Burrito (Green Salsa)

    Super fresh food great staff always working hard great selection on the menu. For an older style restaurant it is pretty clean I see the front of house constantly checking the dining area, you can tell the employees get along great communication and fast efficient service!

    The chili fries burrito was so good, and the portion is huge! We also got the chili cheese onion rings, their chili sauce is really flavorful with a mild spicy kick. The jimako smoothies were cold & refreshing, but its definitely on the sweet side (a little too sweet for my taste). There are plenty of free parking outside the restaurant, very easy to find spaces!

    Our top favorite is the full dinner plate with carne asada. It's a healthy choice that fits two of us (ladies ). We are amazed by how crispy and flavorful the fries are. Pancake and chili burger are both made to order. Good quality of steak too. Very sweet server who recommends us to try their fresh blend smoothies- cool and chill with fresh and sweet strawberries Ig: socalhkfoodies

    Chili Cheese Fries

    I've been seeing their special "Love Combo" all over socials, so I dragged my brother to try it with me lol! It was perfect timing since I was visiting the area. Parking: Plenty of spots! Free parking lot. Ambiance/Environment: It's a very casual spot. They have a large space with plenty of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. Their drive thru was poppin, and there were customers consistently coming in. Service: I didn't catch anyone's names, but they were quick & efficient. Throughput didn't take long after ordering. Food & drinks: The "Love Combo" included 2 burgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks. It came with 2 regular hamburgers, but we added on cheese. The burgers were simple yet delicious! It also came with regular French fries, but we subbed one of them for Chili Cheese Fries at an extra cost. Their house seasoning was sooo good, and the Chili Cheese Fries were mouthwatering! Now I know why it's so popular. We had to try their most popular Horchata drink. The cashier also recommended their new Strawberry Horchata Smoothie. Idk if I put too much ice, but I thought the Horchata was a bit watered down .. I really enjoyed the Strawberry Horchata Smoothie though! Pricing: They have a large menu filled with affordable foods! Especially in this inflated economy. My brother and I absolutely enjoyed everything. It was definitely worth it, and we'll be back to try their other foods & drinks!

    Pastrami you got to love it

    Service is great the food is awesome I love the pastrami it's just so great you just got to have it

    Love this fast food chain. How their food satisfies my cravings! I tried: 1. Chili cheese fries with pastrami 2. Chili fried burritos with pastor 3. Jimako mocha drink

    Tom's always hits the spot. Family diner style with huge portions. Checked out the Love Combo this time. This promo runs all this month where you get 2 cheeseburgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks! A must try: strawberry horchata smoothie and pairs perfectly with the Love Combo. Also got a refreshingly sweet mango smoothie. Always friendly service here.

    Always great food. The Mexican chicken salad is my favorite! The chili fries are the best I've had. Burgers are 10/10. The customer service is great, friendly people make it comfortable to come back. I highly recommend this place over any place joint nearby! Mexican food American food Healthy options

    They really need to remove the "World Famous Chili" from their establishment. This is by far one of the worst chili cheese fries I have ever had and that is saying a lot because I've been to over 50 places. It's my all time favorite guilty Foods to eat and I honestly wouldn't even come back here for a quick fix, it's not worth it. Chicken salad was way too salty. I came because of the hype on a Tick-Tok and honestly she should be fired for recommending this place. Just goes to show you trust the reviews which isn't very good for this place. You want a REALLY good chil cheese fries spot? Super Chili Burgers in Chino, you cbs thank me later.

    I love this place  chili is a must try

    I thought that this was just a regular casual Mexican restaurant, but once we walked in, I realized…read moreit's more of a place you go to for special occasions. First of all, the decorations are amazing. The first thing that caught our eyes were the hanging lit up butterflies. They really make a statement. Next to them is a tree covered in Christmas lights, and next to that is a lit up aquarium looking thing. Even when I went to the restroom, I noticed that the cement floor had sparkly gold specks and something that looked like the Milky Way. As a vegetarian, I was so happy that the menu had leaf symbols so that I could quickly tell which items I could ask for without meat. The food came out fast. It felt like we had barely ordered them and the waitresses were suddenly coming out with them. The portions were huge, like my sister ordered the grande nachos and it really was grand. It looked like an appetizer that was meant to be shared with a group of people. The food tasted good. I enjoyed my meal so much that as big as it was, I devoured the majority of it and only stopped because I was too full. Towards the end, one of the employees asked if he could take away my plate and even though I knew he wasn't our waitress and it probably wasn't his job, I asked him for boxes instead. When our waitress came to our table to ask if I wanted boxes, the other employee at that moment handed us the boxes. I thought it was nice that the other employee did that for us even though he probably wasn't expected to. Overall, we had a great experience here.

    If you are vegetarian, some of the vegetarian items marked on the menu are NOT vegetarian. I had to…read moreask and turns out the enchilada sauces, red rice, refried beans are not vegetarian. Not sure why it can be labeled that. Whole beans, white rice, Poblano sauce are. Always best to ask! I had a wonderful server that double checked for me and made sure I knew that when I shared I can't have meat product in anything. Thank you so much!! It's a beautiful restaurant and food quality was great. But the menu truly needs to have transparency and accurate labeling.

    This is a Peruvian restaurant just down the street from the Kaiser Permanente Ontario. The…read morerestaurant is smaller but can accommodate larger groups. The dining area is a very clean and comfortable. Once seated, an aji verde salsa and cancha was brought to the table. The cancha is a nice touch, the corn is crispy and light. I ordered the Pollo Saltado with an extra portion of rice and a Chicha Morada. The beverage was very refreshing. The meal came out quickly. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish. There was plenty of sauce from the stir fry for the extra portion of rice I ordered. I plan on ordering the Lomo Saltado next time. The staff were polite and efficient. Plenty of parking in their lot. Definitely on the list for the next time I am in the area.

They give you corn nuts and a spicy sauce on the house. We tried the yuca fries which came with a cheese sauce and it was tasty. The ceviche had a perfect lime tang to it. I've only ever had Mexican ceviche so this one was different but delicious. There was sweet potato, red onion, corn and corn nuts. For the entrees, we tried the pesto pasta with beef. The pesto was a bit heavy but the beef was SOLID. So tender and flavorful especially if you drizzle the spicy sauce they give you at the start of the meal. The other dish we tried was the lomo saltado - beef with rice and fries. Also a very good option if you prefer rice/fries over pasta.
