"I ordered a Chili Cheese Omelette with cheddar, onion, and bell pepper with a pancake and Spanish rice. It was so good and they got everything right. The Spanish rice complemented the Chili Cheese Omelette so well. Everything was perfect and cooked right on. The chill of the cokes were also very good so that I just wanted to Can soda drink it all right away. 👍😁👍"
"WOW! The Meat Nachos are HUGE AND DELICIOUS! I order nachos all the time from so many different restaurants and this by far is the biggest I've ever seen! Worth every penny!!! The Orange Bang Ole's Drinks was the reason I ordered from this restaurant because it's hard to find. This did not disappoint, it's sooo yummy! The green SALSA has a lot of kick! At first it doesn't seem very spicy and then POW! It hits you and you get the full flavor and spice of the salsa! It's very good! Thankfully the Orange Bang helps cool it down. I will definitely be ordering from this restaurant again and highly recommend it!"

"I ordered the breakfast special and it hit the spot!! The scrambled eggs and sausage were delicious and the hash browns were cooked to golden brown perfection ! The pancakes continue to be some of the tastiest in the city, in my opinion."
"The breakfast is great. I would like a bit more salt and pepper involved with these eggs, but I got that at home so it's fine. And thank you for scrambling them with cheese like I requested. I think you should start lining the styrofoam with aluminum or parchment paper. The container was warped from all the heat. And more secure bagging. I've had driver reach into my bag and eat my food before. That pupusa was not it though. I would not recommend it. Very bready, not a lot of filling, the filling isn't great and I don't think it's the kind of pupusa I asked for either. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. "
