    California Burrito
    Candace C.

    Drive thru is super easy and convenient, big portions. We got the Cali burrito and a fish taco which were market price. No complaints, would be back. They even have some covered patio seating facing the street .

    Falling apart after a few bites
    Dulce R.

    Updated dating. Tried this place a second time. Although food seems to be fresh (drive thru took 10 minutes - no line), the California burrito was very disappointing. This didn't taste like what it was. It was overwhelming amount of pico and a very wet burrito. The tortilla was not able to hold up and a few bites in, stared to fall apart and rip at different sections. A total mess. Flavor on carne asada fries was good like the first time. Lady at the window was nice and gave all the salsas.

    Beef Taquitos. Order comes with 4

    You can dine inside or order Drive thru. Drive Thrus are always great. Open 24/7. (4) Beef Rolled Taquitos and Shredded Beef Chimichanga $23. The flavors were there! Very delicious and hit the spot. There was only one person ahead of us. They have trademark items on the menu.

    The food is decent for a taco shop, as it has gotten worse since my initial review. The customer service has become worse as well . They messed up my order again, and accidentally gave me someone else's order when I picked up my food. When I got home and opened the containers, I noticed and immediately called them. They told me to bring it back. I asked if they were going to compensate me for now having to waste time and gas to come back for their mistake, they said no. I told them they should give some type of compensation for the trouble, so they said to keep the other order. When I returned to the store for my correct order, they looked at the food and just threw it in the trash. Waste! When they gave me my new order, one of the other people working there shockingly accused me of taking the other persons order. I said no, it was handed to me. She replied why didn't I bring it back then, and I said I was told to keep it. (They likely would have thrown that away as well. More waste of food and money.) I have tried multiple to call their manager as this wasn't the first incident . He doesn't answer, or return your call. Very poor customer relations.

    Super greasy Philly Burrito that the tortilla fell apart. All veggies hardly any meat. Rice filled with so many vegetables, hard and bland.

    The food was horrible. Ordered Philly steak burrito and side of rice. Rice was bland and hard. Also it had so many vegetables, who puts Lima beans in Spanish rice!!! The Philly burrito was disgusting and inedible. Greasy, no flavor or seasoning, and tasted burned. Tortilla fell apart because of the grease and all full of veggies hardly any meat. What of waste of $20. Will never go back again and will give world of mouth to family and friends not to come here so that they don't have the same experience and waste their money. Never again

    Solid place for cheap easy Mexican food. Large portions and quick service. Very filling and tasty. Good for a late night since it's open 24/7

    Carnitas Burrito
    Kristin J.

    I am shocked at the low star rating this drive thru Mexican food restaurant has. I stopped here on an absolute whim after I got a coffee at the Starbucks next door. All I ordered was a Carnitas Burrito. I was able to get my food really quickly. The cashier did not ask me if I wanted salsa, luckily they had just put two green and two orange salsas in my bag, along with a good amount of napkins. My burrito was excellent! It was huge and jam packed full of carnitas meat as well as guacamole and pico de gallo. The carnitas burrito was really satisfying and really delicious. I never ever order a Carnitas Burrito when I stop at Mexican food drive thrus, I am usually a Carne Asada Burrito gal, but I wanted to switch it up and I am so glad I did.

The food was stellar as always. The service was great. What was not great was the fries came out and about 5 minutes later the wings came out (my order) and 10 minutes after that the pizza came out (my boyfriends order). He had to watch me eat (or I let me food get cold) and then I had to watch him eat. Always better to have all the food come out at the same time. Just not a great experience with the food timing but I stil love this place

A few bites into my half, I noticed mold on the side of my sandwich. By that point, she had already eaten about half of hers. I called immediately. After several holds and back-and-forth, I was told they couldn't refund a single item, and that the owner said I could drive back to pick up cash. I explained I was at work and moving to Temecula in two days. I wasn't rude, I was patient through every hold. I've worked in food service. If this ever happened where I worked, we would have refunded the entire order and done whatever it took to make it simple for the customer. The owner offered to drive the cash to my house, which I declined, I didn't want a stranger at my door, and honestly, it wasn't about the money. My pregnant wife ate moldy food. Not once did anyone ask if she was okay or acknowledge that this was a health concern. I never received a refund. I just expected basic accountability, apparently that was too much to ask.

It's a walk-up, order and pay first kind of place, then you grab a seat, which was super easy and casual. The person taking my order was incredibly nice and patient while I figured everything out. Honestly, all the food I saw coming out looked amazing, which made it even harder to choose. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, including a really nice covered patio, which I loved. The service really stood out to me. Even though you order up front, the servers were very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and offer drink refills, which you don't always get in this type of setup. I ordered the steak plate with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mushrooms were especially good. The only small thing was I wish the food had been a little hotter when it came out, but the taste definitely made up for it. My only other note is I wish they had unflavored iced tea. All the options were flavored, and since I'm not a soda drinker, that would've been nice to have. Overall, such a great first visit. Great food, great service, and a really comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.
