    Oh my god!!!! This place is so freaking slow. I've literally been sitting in this line for 20 mins!!! For a smoothie!!! The service is terrible because they hire little kids and don't train them in customer service. I hate that I love this place but I just can't afford to sit in line for hours waiting on a smoothie. Oh yeah I mentioned this to the owner 3 months ago....nothing changed except they got even slower!! FYI just incase your reading this and think I'm exaggerating, I took a pic of a guy who literally was so tired of waiting he got out of his car and was standing to stretch his legs!!!

    Good food fast. I had the southwest quesadilla and my wife had a jerk chicken bowl. Both were really good, although the quesadilla could have had more chicken in it, but still enough to be tasty. The smoothies were the best, decent price (a dollar less if you buy with your meal). Also, the staff was friendly and attentive. This is our third trip here and it looks like we'll be getting to be regulars here. Definitely worth a try.

    Pomegranate Plunge Smoothie

    My friend told me about this place so we tried it and loved the smoothies. We love the health nut and pomegranate one. I was on a liquid diet so I naturally wanted smoothies but that were healthy. This place is marketed eat better feel better but when I saw how they prepared the smoothies it is a lie. They put one scoop of fruit and the rest is concentrate juice with ice and water. I worked at Jamba Juice and all its smoothies had real fruit, juice and sherbert depending on the flavor. When I asked the person why it's all juice he explained he can't have all fruit smoothies and concentrate preserves the freshness and quality. Well concentrate isn't healthy for people watching what they eat. I was turned off by the lie on the board because it says pomegranate, banana, cranberries and strawberries. So it's a small scoop of strawberries and the rest was juice concentrate so you don't actually have the fruit in it. Maybe you should be clear about what is actually in your smoothies?!

    Baja Chicken and Strawberry Limeade Smoothie

    I just recently discovered this restaurant. During this quarantine I have been bored and tired of eating home cooked food. I seen someone on a YouTube channel that I watch go to this restaurant and remembered that I had one nearby. I went to the drive thru today and was a little overwhelmed by the menu. The person taking my order was very patient and kind. I ordered the Baja chicken wrap and the Strawberry Limeade smoothie. I also got the children's Turkey wrap and a Lil lime berry for my daughter. I absolutely loved my wrap and smoothie it was so delicious. My daughter loved her smoothie as well and liked her wrap as well (she's picky). I definitely will be coming back after things get back to normal as well. Love it and will recommend to my friends and family.

    Receipt

    I'm don't understand how y'all can feel good about charging 50 cents for (light) sauce. That is crazy ! Make it make sense. I understand everything more expensive. But to charge more for less... that's just stealing from your customers!! Shameful.

    Some of the healthiest smoothies around...hands down...I'm always satisfied when I leave this location...the staff is friendly and you always get a welcome type feeling when you enter the location...the food is quite delicious as well...today I'm trying the Southwest Omelet...and it smells awesome!!!

    Refreshing to see a healthy food joint open up in Katy. Pleasantly Surprised! Stopped by for lunch after a recommendation from a friend. The name is a bad representation it's much more than just smoothies and actually good quality. They serve BEYOND MEAT which made me very happy! Tried the chicken thai salad sub chicken for beyond meat and a cookie. Happy with it all :) I'll be coming back very soon!

I especially love their Signature Garlic Herb bread. It's toasted perfectly where the outside has a slight crisp around the edges and the inside is soft and fluffy. It's really GOOD bread. I definitely prefer it over the likes of something like Subway, Jersey Mike's, etc. It's nice that they offer different sizes of sandwiches. There's the Nug (4"), Pinner (8"), and the largest size is the Blunt (12"). I ordered the Nug. It's just the right size to satisfy my appetite without leaving me feeling heavy afterward. I also love and truly appreciate the diverse vegetarian options on the menu. They're not just the basic boring raw veggies combinations either. It's super casual and laid back inside. Love their fun decorations. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There's a bar in the back with a large TV, allowing you to enjoy sports while sipping on a cold beer or cocktail. Glad they are in the area. For sure I will be a regular here. Just thinking about their bread makes me hungry.

I was still able to finish it. I'll still come back and maybe try something different next time.

Other honorable mentions: philly cheese subs (both beef and chicken, depending on your preference), beef kabab wrap, crispy chicken burger, and you must absolutely get their fries to share (or not to share, whatever floats your boat). Honestly, haven't had any issues with any of their entrees. Just a tip that fries actually are crispier if you dine-in instead of taking to-go. They also have catering service, which is great for when hosting for my Muslims friends and knowing everything I order from Busy Boy's are halal. I haven't tried their crepes but my friends love it here and always recommend it. There was a time over the Summer when I would randomly find hair but I realized it's one of the workers who kept scratching his head with food-prepped gloves. Haven't had any issues lately since then but just a headsup. I've been coming here for years and it's really a good option if you want food that doesn't take forever, halal, and just laid back atmosphere. Just please clean up after yourself to clear the table for the next guest. If you ever get a combo (with fries and a drink), I highly suggest the lemon-lime at their soda fountain but just try a bit of everything if it's your first time.

This place was only 0.4 miles away and has great reviews so we headed over. Oh my gosh, I'm glad we chose this spot. That was the best sandwich I've had in a long time! I ordered the first thing on the menu because it looked good, and I'm glad I did. They call it a "Chicken Run." It's made with ciabatta, grilled chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, and "garlic sauce" (which, to me, was a garlic aioli). I enjoyed it more than I would have enjoyed getting a hamburger somewhere else. The ciabatta was perfect! Far better than any hamburger bun. The pepperjack cheese was spicier and meltier than most and seemed to be high quality. And the flavors all melded together perfectly. A very nice lady made our sandwiches, wrapped them and bagged them. She was friendly and helpful. The place was cute. And they had board games to play with :-) My wife had the Empire Club and said she enjoyed it. They also had a reuben that looked really tempting and a chicken pesto sandwich on a baguette that caught my eye. But I'm still glad I got the Chicken Run!

It's really a much larger place than it appears when you first approach it there's plenty of room for seating and it's very well capped. The ambience is very simple but tasteful. It's a must visit if you're in the area of parked 10 on the west side of town. Let me just say this at last there were two people who were there during the lunch hour, and they were inordinately, efficient and friendly. It's a wonderful experience.

I finally walked the 4 feet to the register to get the young man's attention and let him know we would like ice cream and a pie. He seemed a little put out at first but, in the end was pleasant to deal with. Nice place worth trying. They just need a little more awareness on folks coming in and giving them some guidance on where to order and acknowledging their presence. Welcome and can I help you down here would go a long way.

While visiting family in Houston we were excited to come across a "real" Mexican (as opposed to Tex-Mex...iykyk) taco shop. As soon as you walk in and see the Tijuana and Baja Mexico signs and decor you know you're in the right place. There's an open kitchen, allowing you to watch your carne being grilled on the open-flame grill. That charged meat smell is heavenly! Their guac is chunky and simple (nothing too fancy), hot sauces are tasty (and they have a kick!), tortillas are thin but strong -- holding the goods in just right. It's also nice that they have complimentary tasty, crispy pork rinds -- as opposed to the standard chips & salsa. Portions are ample! They definitely don't skimp -- tons of meat and guac in their tacos and huge, meaty burritos! Prices are fair, especially for what you get! Their dining room is a tad small, but it's very clean and the a/c is good...there's also a nice patio outside. Service was swift and friendly. Food was good. A/C was poppin'. Parking was plentiful. All in all I have to admit that Tacos Frontera comes as close to good San Diego Mexican food as you can get...they would definitely be able to hold their own in San Diego!
