"That was so good. That burritobowl tasted way better than the stuff they give you at chipotle. It's a generous amount too so you can save plenty for later. Chips were crispy and fresh. Will definitely eat here again "
"I appreciate how my food bag was sealed for delivery. I am nervous ordering sides like chips as a dishonest driver could "dip" into food before it gets to you. The Food Safety was apparent though with how the Delivery Bag was completely sealed! I appreciate that the size of the adver food online matched what I received in person. And Delicious as well! Guac was amazing! Burrito was Big and ingredients were in good proportion to each other and even throughout the entire burrito! Highly Satisfied! "

"This was my first time trying Del Taco and I'll DEFINITELY order again!!! Double Del® Cheeseburger was out of this world! I only ordered it because my coworkers have been talking about it nonstop. It was SOOOO GOOD! Caramel Cheesecake Bites were so delicious! Street Taco was fab! Huge portions and seemed fresh! Highly recommend!"
"Twas good. The Snack Taco Fiesta Pack is my go to order. Great deal. Lots of food (for one 😉😁🐷). The tostadas were decent I guess. I said add chicken on both, wasn't much added. I will order again though, but just the basic. My only issue is that the round corn chip (or whatever you call it) gets soggy (for lack of a better word) by the time it's delivered. Even if they have to charge more (which I completely understand), I wish they'd add a second round corn chip underneath the soggy one. I like my tostadas crunchy. I do enjoy the fries. They are the first thing I consume when my order arrives and they are in every order. The chips and nacho were tasty. I especially liked the fact that the nacho was warm."

"This place is FIRRREE!!! My family and I ordered this late night after work (we own a pizza shop and didn't feel like cooking when we got home), and sweet baby Jesus it did not disappoint! We got the Buffalo Chicken Burrito meals and the Chipotle Chicken Burrito meals. Everything about it was on point. Super delicious and fresh. I'm not sure why reviews say the burritos could be bigger, bc we got the regular sizes and were extremely full after eating it all in like 10 seconds lol. Even the freshly made salsa was so good! If y'all haven't tried this place yet, don't walk, RUN! We will definitely order again!!"
"First time eating Big Mamma's Burritos. The Choripollo (regular size) was rather small and was mostly rice. It didn't contain most of the ingredients listed or the onion I paid to add. Scant portion of sour cream provided (which I also paid a huge markup for). Guacamole looked old and unsafe to eat. Chips are a small 3 oz. bag of Mission tortilla chips."

I love mushrooms and IHOP did not disappoint. The multigrain toast with avocado was beyond delightful, and overall it was a very pleasant, flavorful breakfast. The blue raspberry lemonade was the perfect sweet, tangy finish and tied everything together. 10/10, I will absolutely order this again. Thank you, IHOP, for a solid, consistent, well-packaged, great-tasting breakfast."
"Big Steak Omelette was really good, steak was seasoned, wasn't overcooked, hash browns were seasoned and crispy. ALWAYS ASK FOR THE SYRUP CADDY, they never give you enough syrup!

"Me and my boyfriend have been doing this challenge to find the restaurant who can serve the best Birria tacos. So far this is the restaurant who had the most flavorful one for both the tacos, the sauce that comes with it, and a decent price. Although the meat is kinda chewy which is normal, it still has a lot of flavor that makes you want to come back for more. The taco shells isn't the crunchiest ones we tried but the tacos shells still has a nice little satisfying crunch with each bite. The dipping sauce had such a delicious flavor like a really good soup that we both decided to drink up the whole cup afterwards. In short, in my opinion it's worth the buy! "

"Im officially addicted. Get the chicken taco, rice & beans, and but the rice and beans on the tacos. Don't forget your sauce and lime, and maybe lettuce & tomato. I get it every time, best tacos in Columbus by far. My partner tried the Fajita Chicken Quesadilla and loved it, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of it! I also get the Trio dip almost every time. I dip a chip in each sauce and it really hits the spot. This place is the best."
