"HONESTLY ONE OF THEE WORST Burrito Bowl IVE EVER GOTTEN FROM ANY CHIPOTLE!!! Do NOT order from here, they will give you hella rice and lettuce and skimp you on the meat/protein. My bowl had maybe 6 cubes of chicken in it. Drowned in sour cream and just yuck! It didn't even taste how it usually does. I'll be posting about this on Yelp too. Yall are terrible and need to do better, for real! You act the ingredients are coming out of your paycheck lol. Smh never again."

"Absolutely my favorite place to eat dinner in my hometown (Dino's for breakfast) . The mole is especially tasty and usually what I order. But everything on the menu is good. You could do a roulette selection and have a great dinner every time. I have never had anything less than a great dinner and would eat there 5/7 nights a week if I could swing it. Cocktails are great too, but I am always the driver so I keep it to two"
"These cazuelas are the best dishes on their menu and I urge everyone to try them! Their mole is fantastic and we 'argue' as to which menu items round out the top 5. Excellent staff, fantastic kitchen, and the best food."

"This was my 2nd order from this location and our 2 Taco Salad had generous amounts of ingredients. I asked for 1 with double guacamole and it was great. Unfortunately the 2nd Taco Salad was supposed to be NO guacamole. Wife was not thrilled since impossible to scoop off when spread throughout.

"Love this place whether eating in or getting DoorDash! I like to order a la carte items which are a fantastic deal! They have great street tacos(I like the grilled chicken)- I especially like them doused with lime juice. Another favorite is a tostada which is on a shell but is filled with so much stuff I usually eat with chips!! Def. For me the portion size of an a la carte tostada is a full meal and a snack later or two meals with chips. Everything is always fresh and prepared very consistently."
"El Patio has decent food, but my frustration is with their portion sizes: 1/8 of a lemon for a four-taco platter, 3oz of Pickled Jalapeños for $3, and a single-item burrito the size of a kid's meal. The beef burrito is just beef in a tortilla; while this is good because most places skimp on meat, it is lacking in flavor and doesn't meet the expectations of what one would expect from ordering a burrito."

"I tried the Tostada Camarón con Mango recently for the first time and it was so good I had to get it again. It tastes fresh, the flavor is great, and the tostada shells are fresh and crunchy. Ive always loved the vampiros so that was just a plus. They always have a great amount of meat compared to other places that put as little as possible. Love this place 20/10 "
"It is more like a 3.5 star rating but I rounded up. Hopefully I just ordered from here on an off day or when they were really busy. The Quesabirrias barely had any cheese on them. They were, however, loaded up with a lot of shredded beef. There was an over abundance of onions though and the meat was dry and not that flavorful. The lack of flavor carried over into the consommé as well. It wasn't as rich as I am used to but at least it helped make the Quesabirria's less dry. I have never had a Chorreada before so I really can't fairly rate it. But I wasn't a huge fan. The carnitas had a really nice flavor but it was dry as well. The reason I rounded up to 4 stars is because they were very generous with the meat and I liked that they gave you meat without a ton of pieces of fat like some places do. The food was fresh and the portions were generous for the price, in my opinion. I will give it a try again since so many people seem to love the food there and I may have just ordered on an off day."

"El Bandacoa Combo Nacho Abuela's Nachos Dry, generic tasting burrito. Tortilla wasn't even charred in any way to indicate a level of cooking. It was a floppy, pale tortilla, similar to one you'd find after nuking an El Monterey microwaveable burrito with some freezer burn/ice on it. I got the side of fries with the burrito and unless the driver ate some of them there was about 16 fries. The nachos and the toppings came separate which was kind of nice as it prevented the nachos becoming soggy before eating. Still very mediocre. I'm not from the area so the address wasn't familiar to me. If I had known this was a Denny's brand virtual kitchen I would have moved on. Boo."

"The chicken teriyaki bowl had more rice in it than vegetables or teriyaki sauce. They usually give an extra sauce packet. I was not happy to discover that there was no extra sauce, very little vegetables and more rice than vegetables and chicken. The shake was good, it's unfortunate that the top they place on the cup has such a wide hole. Plus it was not covered with a sticker as I believe it should have been. One never knows what might get into the cup! I normally don't have many complaints about the food items I order from Jack in the Box. I just with they had a Sourdough Chicken Sandwich on their menu like they had before. I no longer eat beef/red meat so I would definitely order a sourdough chicken sandwich if they were to have it on their menu!! "
