"Genuinely sensational, some of the best Super Carne Asada Fries i've ever had, well portioned and the fries were at a perfect crisp, the sauce had a sharp spice to it and every ingredient harmonized well. Wonderful experience will for sure be ordering again. Only improvements that could be made is if there was a salsa on the side option that you could order from the doordash app without having to call, if there already is that's my mistake. Definitely recommend! :)"

"bro I ordered here because others mentioned they package it well
they weren't lying. everything was super fresh. the French Toast with 2 Eggs wasn't soggy. I got eggs over medium and they were perfectly cooked.
the Fruit was good, but too much melon for me. all good tho. (no photo sorry)
syrup and butter packaged separately and didn't open.
I suggest y'all tip well especially for breakfast because the driver was there early and got me the food quick. don't be cheap and expect things to arrive in a decent amount of time
but bro no napkins or utensils. luckily I had some at the hotel. probably my fault."
"Wow!!!! Amazing quality and the portions are huge!!! My picture shows a "side" of fries! They also provided 2 ranches as specified in my door dash order (these often get missed). The celery was fresh and crispy and you can tell the wings are high quality chicken, very good size. Very happy! "

I would've given 4 stars only cause the Fish Taco don't come with any condiments like sour cream or a chipotle sauce but everything else was perfect. I love that they give you the option for extra 4 Green Salsas (Extra) for 1$, and the Large Horchata was perfect."

"Ordered Caldo de Res for my friends birthday. This was the second time I have
ordered it for my friend. She said it was just as delicious as the last time. Plenty of meat
and vegetables.
I myself ordered Menudo. It was good and
there was both regular and honeycomb
meat plus I got part of the pata with the
gelatinous goodness. My favorite!! Yum!
Maybe add a little more hominy. Hit the
spot on this rainy day. Both Caldo's come
with 4 corn tortillas and there appropriate
condiments. I have had combo plates from
here and they have been delicious also.
Needless to say I will be ordering again and

"The Broken yolk is always quality food, but this morning their fruit plate was exceptional! The poached eggs perfect, the bacon crisp and the toast yummy! Marmalade and strawberry jam! What a treat! The whole br still warm and toasty! Great start to a busy weekend! "
"Ordered The Mom Omelet and was really disappointed. The omelet came out overcooked, dry, and barely had any flavor. The ingredients tasted like they had been sitting out for a while, and the portion size was smaller than expected for the price. My potatoes were cold, and the toast was stale. The food took a long time to come out, and by the time it arrived it wasn’t even hot. Overall, the quality didn’t match the price at all. Definitely not a breakfast I’d order again."

"It was so delicious. I will ordering it again soon so I can do a review on tiktok. It was flavorful, yet not over powering. Even though the burber was well done, it was still juicy. The cheese was melted perfectly with the right amount of sauce, and mushrooms. The bacon I ordered on the side truly shined on it's own on the burger, but so did everything else. They all worked well. "
"The Blue Tropical Strawberry Fruit Smoothies is WORTH it. The flavor is very powerful but very tasty. Definitely a MUST HAVE. The size of the cup was oddly small for the price, however. Maybe they goofed and gave me a kids size on accident."

Our new door dasher, Araceli & the staff at Dirty Burgers went above and beyond to get our large order to us. The burgers were AMAZING and it's a great story to share for National Burger Day!"
"I saw that Santana's had this new virtual brand and figured I would try them out. I ordered a cheeseburger with an extra patty, bacon, onion and pickles. It came without cheese, the patties are probably smaller than what you get on a big mac. The bacon was bacon bits and the onions were little diced pieces. The patties seem to have been left on the grill all afternoon as they were oddly dry but very greasy at the same time. The lack of napkins made it even worse. "

"The prices are a little high but that is why you get high quality food. Chicken salad small is still big enough for 2. Chicken Pita sandwiches are a house favorite. Fries are awesome but try the fried zucchini too!! Get extra feta and tzatziki sauce...you'll be happy to have extra. Dessert? Go banana shake... you won't regret it!"
"I would not order again. I couldn't eat more than a few bites of the meal. The chicken in the 2 Skewer Chicken Kabob Dinner was not seasoned enough and seemed undercooked. The rice was bland and did not pair well with the strangely sweet chicken. The Baklava was okay. It had a larger portion size than expected and good flavor but was overly wet. The Hummus & 2 Pita was okay. The hummus had an authentic flavor, but was more mild in complexity. I enjoyed the bell peppers and vegetables in the side salad, but I wish they left the lettuce in larger pieces and added less cheese."

"This is my first time coming to Swami's and WOWWWW!!! The portion size is fantastic. You get more bang for your buck here. The food temperature was perfect! The Eggs Benedict were so creamy and tangy and my taste buds are just exploding from all the flavor right now. I also got the pastrami melt which I might have to save for later because it's so big. And although it's a side dish, the sweet potato fries were my favorite part. Whoever cooked this food, man.... I LOVE YOU."
"The Swamis Club was pretty big. Tasted pretty good. Fresh ingredients
The fries tho...Ehh
No seasoning and they taste sweet as if they fry a sweet or breakfast item in same oil
They do come free with the sub tho so I guess if you like the taste, just season at home
Overall 4/5
Would order again bc of sandwich size but I'd definitely get a different side like a salad"

"Crispy wings with no bad pieces. Boneless are a little small for how much it is but still good taste. "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."
