    One of the cleanest fast food restaurants I've been to. The staff is so friendly especially Alfredo, he is nice and helpful. Great customer service. I was also very impressed with their breakfast menu. Everything was fresh and delicious. I really liked their fountain drink machine.

    The store was slow but the workers were busy. I placed order and got cups to get drinks. I waited about 10 minutes for order. I got to car and decided to check it. I was given fries instead of nuggets. So I went back in and they took care of it.

    Not bad for a $4 meal. Buy one get one free Junior cheeseburger and a free Junior Frosty with my key tag.

    I've been here three or four times now. A friend of mine in Texas kept telling me about the key tag for getting the free Junior frosties and that sounded appealing One Summer approached. Sometimes I've gotten something inexpensive to eat like they're $5 baconator sale for kids meal or buy one get one free and I always get the little Frosty. Not bad for the price even though it's fast food and not top quality, I have enjoyed what I've gotten. I've never tried to drive through, always gone inside and always encountered friendly workers you seem to have good camaraderie going between each other. I only use the restroom once and it was very clean. The restaurant also seems pretty clean.

    My Husband and I went here for dinner and as I was eating my food when we got home, there was a dead bee in my cheese fries When I called to talk to them, they were not nice or helpful. They said we could drive all the way back to get another cheese fry... don't go to this location.

    So I ordered the Krabby Patty collaboration meal from the app, thinking I was ordering a large and I ended up paying for a large fry and a small drink. I wasn't aware that I also had to manually make the drink a large as well. That's frustrating, but when I get home and take my food out the bag, there's nothing SpongeBob a "Krabby Patty" about these wrappers. I ended up ordering regular Wendy's food and they're just labeling it the Krabby Patty meal. This was supposed to be a fun order, reminiscent of my childhood. I wanted to receive burgers in Krabby Patty wrappers with the Krabby Patty fry holders, etc. What a disappointment.

    I love the breakfast deal for 3.00. I usually add the French toast sticks which are delicious!

    Casual eateries in San Diego (1 of 2)…read more I knew of the The Habit, but I had never been to one. This one is in La Mesa, not far from SDSU and before El Cajon. The first one I've ever seen was on Sunrise Blvd. in the Citrus Heights / Fair Oaks area east of Sacramento and it hummed with customers, with the scent of grilled meat sometimes wafting through the air if you should be that lucky. Los Angeles may have them, too, but I've never seen one. The Habit, specifically this one in La Mesa, serves up hearty sandwiches that are robust and tasty. While 2 burgers on sesame seed buns were ordered by friends and deemed to be good, I went with the Chicken Club, which is presented on sandwich bread and, if it was offered, I would have gone with sourdough. My sandwich was definitely very tasty and filling. If not going to the top of list in terms of doubling up patties and excessively decking out the sandwich, most of their burgers and sandwiches come in somewhere between 500 and 1,000 calories. (When The Outback's Blooming Onion comes in at over 2,000 calories, you will easily find comparatively more sensible options at The Habit.) The service was fine - arms length, but polite. I will say that the store, and we took the ordered food to go, was very nice and clean. It's in a nice neighborhood east of San Diego and SDSU and there is an amply sized parking lot. The prices were in the ball park for its quality and for being in a suburban California location. There aren't many things on the menu that interested me since I don't eat much ground beef anymore, preferring chicken and fish. However, I'd happily return to this location and might be open to trying others in The Habit portfolio. I'm going to go with 4 stars.

First of all, it was very hot inside so already you're a little uncomfortable. Staff was ok but you can tell, it's just a job. We got our burgers and fries to go. I was excited that it was still warm when we got home. Mom and dad felt thei char burgers were ok. For me however I found my lettuce wrap double char with cheese to be undercooked and greasy. I wound up putting it on bread. The Mayo was not a good brand - I tried to get rid of it. Fries were warm yet limp. Having said all that, prices are reasonable, especially in this economy. Because my parents felt their meal was ok I didn't give this a 1 star. I hope a bit more TLC from corporate can be given to this location as it is in a good spot.

    I went on an adventure trying to find a new lunch spot.  I found this place on Yelp as Janna's…read moreBurgers, Fish, and Fries and the map took me to the Aztec Food Hub.  Using the street address I was taken to Grossmont Center.  The signage indicates this place is called BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries. I was feeling lucky today.  So I ordered my fried fish with onion rings and paid $1 upcharge.  The problem with onion rings is they range from not good to great.  With fries they are usually fine. White fish was fried in a tempura batter infused with herbs.  White fish had a mild flavor and was nice and moist.  Batter was crunchy. Onion rings were mostly crunchy except the batter was too thick so some parts of the batter were not transformed by the frying process into crunchy goodness.   I didn't like the flavor of the herbs in the batter which distracted from the fried onion flavor. Service from the guy in charge was friendly and efficient.  My combo was $12.99 which is a great deal.  I'd order the fish again but not the onion rings.  Doing further research I found they are also listed on Yelp as BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries.  So that's the story on my lunch adventure.

It's delicious chicken with tomatoes, onions, and peppers served with rice and beans and your choice of tortillas, plus a drink. All at a reasonable price. It makes two meals for me every time. My son swears the quesadillas here are magical and always eats most of it in the car on the way home because he can't wait. Service is always great, it's a family owned restaurant and they're consistently friendly and fantastic. It's a small business, but there's a few tables inside and chairs if you're getting takeout. They take phone orders too. There's plenty of parking in the lot and on the street. When I first started coming here a long time ago it was cash only, but you can use plastic now too.

I feel like the reviews are biased to the portions and price but not quality. I want to contribute my honest review without coming off as some food snob. I had no issues with the service (the staff seemed like people I could vibe with daily) and really wanted this place to be my loyal go-to. I've lived in the area for over 23 years and wanted to try something different after exhausting pretty much all butrriro options, so I checked out some online forums for recommendations. There are a lot of burrito spots around, so it's easy to overlook this one. Still, it kept popping up in people's suggestions, so it seems to have a loyal crowd. The California burrito and the breakfast burrito were mentioned as the best options. Maybe I'm late to the party, but after trying their California and breakfast burritos, I was surprised by how bland and dead the food tasted. The carne asada lacked flavor and freshness, and the potatoes in both burritos were very stale, mushy, and bitter (as though eyes / dark spots were present). Both burritos were missing something. People said the red salsa was supposed to be great, but it didn't add anything, and neither did the green salsa. Both just tasted flat. What really surprised me was the "famous" breakfast burrito that so many people rave about. It should be one of the easiest things to get right, but it tasted watered down. Maybe it was the onions and potatoes? I couldn't enjoy it unless I covered it in the bland red and green sauce just to make it edible. I even wondered if the eggs were processed or imitation (I'm no stranger to cafeteria food). I do understand that the majority are struggling, so this may reflect the quality and lack of taste. I've been all over San Diego and been in some financially rough areas that managed to stay afloat while still providing life and love by using locally sourced ingredients. So I feel like this place just lost motivation and wants to fill you up instead of giving you an experience.

What if they get the right number of items but incorrect items? Mistakes happen, no doubt. I understand that as well as anyone. They happen at Vallarta a disproportionate amount of the time. Literally more often than not. We've always went back through the order at the window with them just to make sure, and still would find items missing when we got home. I've advised them before that having a sharpie at the packing station to check off against the receipt would probably serve them well. All of this is known, and in and of itself, despite the real frustration one feels when this happens once, much less dozens of times, it would not lead me to updating with a one-star review. What did happen is that, the last time they forgot my order of rather expensive guacamole, we called. The phone rang for sometime before being picked up by a gentleman we believed to be the owner-- clearly a cell phone, and he was not onsite. We told him what had happened. He apologized, like one does, and told us to just let them know the next time we went through the drive-thru and they would replace it. He took our name. That was that. Except it wasn't. When we next went back through the drive-thru, we reminded them of our missed guac, and they refused to honor the owner's promise. Beyond that, they became rude and hostile at the idea. Obviously, we canceled that night's $50+ order and left. We have not been back. We used to go in once or twice a week. Maybe the message was not relayed. Possible. It does seem to me, however, that if your error rate is as high as there's is-- and it's not like they don't know this-- instead of arguing with the guest that has come back to your establishment anyway, you should probably bend over backwards to accommodate them. They used to make up for their horrible order fulfillment with friendly service and pretty darn good food. As the service tent pole fell, so did the tent.
