"First time ordering and def will order again from here!! Ever was so delicious and def worth the price!! The burrito was super juicy and the bag of chips was bonus!! Queso wasnt too hot or cold just how I like it!! Thank you for the amazing food and service."
"I don't know if it was because it was late, but the Taco Salad was very disappointing. very mushy and the taco bowl was already falling apart and leaking grease. the (4) Baja Carnitas Tacos had mostly beans with a tiny amount of carnitas. I normally don't rate my orders, but this was not a great experience. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was an "off night." but I certainly wasn't thrilled for he price I paid."

This Del Taco is always thoughtful with their order customization and fulfillment. My only complain was that the brisket was so what dry.

"I drove by a dozen times and kept meaning to try Farmer Boys for myself. Now I am sad that it took me so long. New favorite place. The food was great and the portion size was sooo big.

"Yeah, all the other Mexican restaurants up at this hour they're not nearly as fresh ingredients and the package hot sauce threw me off, but it was actually better than the hot sauce is most places also they don't skip you on the product you know like there's plenty of the ingredients for example of this other Mexican restaurant that is more expensive they just basically give you a tortilla with a little bit of meat burgers. This is like more of a meal so I would say if you're up at this hour goes to that this restaurant I haven't ran into a better one this late at night. I just wish I got to try the tortillas that would've made would've sealed the deal or I mean it would've made the meal better with the carbohydrates are good anyway I gotta go bye"
"Chips, Cheese & Guacamole The cheese is not melted, to some this may matter. It isn't like nachos. Not something I usually order. We liked it!! it was good. Chiles Asados side order of 3 cooked peppers. Definitely it brings the kick! If you're looking for extra heat, this may be for you! I found that a bite or two was perfect for me. Chip e Relleno Burrito of course did not come sliced, did so for the photos- was a very generous amount which I appreciate! Wish I could pinpoint "what" would've made the taste better for me... Same with the Beans Only Burrito - although I appreciate the simplicity, it left something to be desired. Extra sauce and Extra Pico de Gallo totally remedied that so I don't really consider it a problem and would get it again. All in all? Very generous portions and I can't complain. We really appreciated everything in our order. The extra sauces and all. First time customer here, and we will be back!!! Thank you for the late night food!"

"TAKE-OUT REVIEW Was surfing Swami's menu on DoorDash and noticed they had a 2-for-1 special on the Swami's Club sammich, which is normally $20. I absolutely LOVE when I see deals like this and always jump on them as best I can. Only this time, I did a pickup order since I had to drive over to this area anyway. Picking up yourself avoids all of the crappy fees and tips in DoorDash and yep, I got two club sammiches for $19.03! Pickup is a little weird because there was a line to get it. Since every customer orders at the entrance, I didn't want to cut the line so I waited until my turn, only to see my order sitting on a shelf behind the register. The sammich itself was huge! They didn't give us much fries and I'm actually okay with that. My waistline thanks you. Each sammich contained: Choice of Mock or Roasted Turkey, bacon, jack cheese, tomato, lettuce, onions and mayo. All stacked high on three slices of toasted bread. Sooo good!"
"Amazing customer service. Food items are SUPER TASTY! The matcha with almond milk is supreme! Also, THE DETAILS OF SELECTIONS IN CUSTOMIZING ORDERS ARE WONDERFUL AND RARE IN DOORDASH ORDERS. HOPE TO ORDER AGAIN!"
