"Hit or Miss with this store. I wanted to give 2 stars but Im feeling nice considering its been good in the past. Some items are great (ie: breakfast sandwiches)& some are not like the BOGO Original Chicken Sandwich as both sandwiches were overly done/old/dried out. One sandwich patty had separated & was hollow inside like a chicken-flavor breaded pita pocket & the other sandwich "patty" was actually 2 small half patty pieces, 1 fairly edible & 1 choking hazard dry. Even if I hadnt requested they'd put no mayo on, it wouldn't have helped & lettuce was severely lacking. The 2 for $5 Whopper Jr. Duo were a little better but not by much. It's like they specifically created a burger patty/bun smaller than the standard hamburger for these & barely apply any condiments. It should be called the Whopper Junior Mini. Disappointing waste of money while initially thinking you're getting a better deal considering the price of fast food these days."
"the bun was some how soggy from the outside and I it seemed like there was way to much onoin on it I scraped the onoin of the second to measure and there was literally half of a cup of onoins which is insane."

"Whoever made my sandwich did a fantastic job. Legit my favorite late night food place."
"For the most part, the sandwiches look good however bread is dry on one side, which makes a sandwich horrible and then the boss sandwich I can't barely see the meatballs I had to dig and it looks like it's missing meatballs when I believe it supposed to have meat or extra meat because it's the #6 The Boss"

"They did exactly as ordered. we asked them to do half and half of 2 different sauces on both 2 orders of 10 piece wings. I was nervous they would miss that under the special instructions tab. so that was definitely two happy customers! The Cheese Sticks were inceptionly great. hearty and decent size. The sauces came in a huge size. not your average dip cups. Making a coop fan more pleased when you LOVE their sauces!"

"I've been going to this Abelardos location for a year now, I decided to do something different. I ordered the beef Super Fries and I added veggies & smothered cheese. This is a legita game changer and SO delicious. Portion sizes are FANTASTIC for the price, I 10/10 recommend adding veggies and cheese. Literal perfection! "
"I am legitimately so impressed with the food that I haven't even finished eating yet and had to run to leave a review. Don't let the photos fool you, the burritos are so fat! That thing was triple C thick and rolled to perfection. Their
Diablo sauce is hot AND flavorful. The meat... wow.. I've never tasted such flavorful meat from a Mexican restaurant. The veggies, queso, limes, and add one were all fresh. Quesabirrias were larger than normal orders I've had from other places. EVERYTHING (burrito, street tacos, quesabirrias, side queso) was full. I'm talking they don't not skimp on anything especially the meat. I will order again and again."
