"best place for street tacos and the first place to do 3 Mini Adobada tacos correctly that I've tried. would order again. Great portions. good value."
"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! "

"This is the best doughnut shop in the world! My mom and I always get out doughnuts here. They're freshly made and last for days in the fridge. The pink box is a plus for my mom she loves the color. Also, the customer service is awesome. Hands down their doughnuts are way tastier fresher and all-around better than Duncan Doughnuts. We highly highly recommend there just delicious. Thank you doughnut Bros you guys rock 😊"
"The Breakfast Sandwich is huge and easily shared, and not to forget Amazing! Also served with a small side of sriracha. Donuts are good, my only wish is that you could pick the exact donut you want on Door Dash. Cake Donuts don't specify vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate. So I wanted a strawberry but got vanilla. Maple bars are our favorite ordered two Bars just to make sure we got atleast one maple. Definitely my new favorite Breakfast Sandwich place!!! "

"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."

"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."

"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"
