Taste is a 3; Service is a 2.I don't understand the point of encouraging and creating a website for online ordering (and ready time), when your order is going to be 17 minutes late. It might not be a long time, but when you're given a time, then that's the expectation.

Decent fresh menu items. The tortilla soup was good but rather salty

I've been to the one in Lakewood & my salad was amazing, huge and full of meat, it towered my dish, so big I couldn't finish it...so I went to the one in Yorba Linda, look at the picture, first of all they were super slow, they are so un-organized behind the counter it really was sad to wait in this line for what I received, my Salad was half of what I received in Lakewood and was very disappointed for what I paid for a chicken salad and nachos...go to Lakewood, so much better.

Love the shredded chicken salad inside the tortilla that they make fresh there. House salad dressing is awesome!

Rice was undercooked (you know, little hard chunks) and the shredded chicken in the enchiladas was dry - even with salsa on it.On the plus side, wife loved the carnitas (or else i would have given 1 star)

Take your date there she'll love you forever great food great people family restaurant patio dining

They make their tortilla fresh!!! It's the main reason we go here.They get busy sometimes, but not a biggie. It's cool to see them make the tortilla as you wait in line.

Delicious food. More on the pricey side but they do make their own tortillas. Try the Grilled Chicken Salad.

Yesterday late afternoon (4:30) was my second visit to this location in 2 weeks. Both times the restaurant was a mess. The kitchen had spills all over, the first station of steamer was disgusting, two sauces had evaporated downs so far leaving a thick “skin” draped over the product in the bin. Meat bins empty with dried crusty food stuck in them, other meat (chicken breast) was dry and old. The beans were dry and as thick as retried beans, the rice looked old and had dry rice at the top. Food dropped on the floor, under cabinets. The floor looked dirty in the kitchen and dining area. Two weeks ago, the iced tea dispensers weren’t covered(the lids were on top of the soda machine, yesterday, the same, but bone dry tea residue in the hopper.Tea dispensers need to be cleaned DAILY!This cleanliness issue is obviously a long term issue at this location. It is NOT due to Jack of employees, either. Both times there were more employees working in the kitchen than I’ve seen ANYWHERE in months.

Every Tuesday for Taco's. My wife ordes them and I pick them up on the way home. Usually are ready for me when I get there. The pork is my fav. and look forward to it every week. Any other night I really enjoy the Enchalladas (not sure about the spelling), they are out of this world.
