“Great food! Super nice staff and very accommodating! We have a large and intimidating service dog, and they turned on heaters and gave us a private area on the patio! Staff made sure our entire party K9 included were enjoying themselves! Try the octopus taco!!!”
“Good food and thank you to Asian gentleman with the glasses he is a hard worker. I see him running around cleaning and getting things done and the cook with the blonde hair too thanks for the food! He was nice as well. I appreciate a tidy chill restaurant!”
“If we could afford to go here every weekend, we would. The ravioli is the bomb. Bring your date here and enjoy the Italian experience, fine food, and excellent service.”
“This Irish pub is our frequent stop when we are in the mood for its authentic European food experience. A small patio makes for intimate dining, weather permitting. Heat lamps abound for more robust weather. It is not to be missed near St Patty's Day. The place bustles with good old Irish exuberance! Though extremely rushed, our waiter took his time with our large party of 9, and did not make a mistake when serving what everyone ordered. He even added accoutrements without our asking. Definitely stop by during St Patty's to have a rousing good time. And plan to drink a lot of Guinness!”
“I love Italian food, and this place did not disappoint. The food was delicious, my first time eating there and I will definitely recommend and will return. The service was great too, all the staff were met were friendly and very welcoming.”

“Visited this place during the weekday for dinner. It was super crowded and had a lively ambience. The food service is quick and the food is amazing. They also have sushi bar which you can sit on if you like to watch the chefs making sushi.They do not have a lot of vegetarian options. We ordered Tofu with rice, avocado sushi roll and mango lady sushi roll. The food was delicious. The waiter was not able to understand English and so had to run back a couple of times to make sure the request was correctly entered.Overall we had a great experience and will surely visit again.Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetarian options. They do have 5 sushi rolls which are vegetarian and a couple of other dishes. That's it.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“The food lived up to the hype. Everything was fresh and the flavor was so good and simple. I usually like a lot of sauces and layers to this type of food but this was my favorite simple chicken wrap. 10/10 recommend.”
“We are locals and tried this restaurant. Was presently surprised, the portions were very large and the service was great. The owner Mike came by to make sure all was good, nice touch. This is our new go to date night place.”

“Wow! I just had the BEST Açaí Bowl ever! It was refreshingly delicious! I bought 2 bowls - a small and a medium for a friend. I wish I would've gotten the medium size too. I can't believe how I was unable to stop eating the entire bowl. I'm already thinking of my next visit. The owner is extremely nice and I'm so glad I went with his recommendation! I've also had the beef empanadas in the past- which are also very good. 100% Happy!”

“My BF always stops here on his trips to Orange County. We came in today for burgers, fries, and donuts. The burgers are tasty, fries are served super hot, and don't forget to get plenty of donuts. They have the BEST apple fritters! Where else can you get a combo of burger, fries, drink, and a donut? Service was prompt, the little shop was clean, and they have plenty of parking.”

“Beautiful welcoming caffe with fresh and delicious pastries. Almond croissant is crispy and just right amount of sweetness. Owner Ava is so warm and kind, it is a pleasure to meet her and her hospitality. Ambiance is done with love and great taste. I would highly recommend it.”

“This is a local gem ??? that I'm so glad I found 4 years ago. I have been a steady customer ever since and I still love it.The sandwiches are delicious and made from scratch. They have a variety of breads to choose from and the sandwiches are always stuffed.I cannot get enough of the Meatloaf Sandwich, Tuna Sandwich, Meatball Sub, and Club Sandwich. I also highly recommend the Ruben and French Dip.When you get your order, the little hand drawn happy face on the sandwich wrappers will make you smile. ?”

“I love their Naan. Honestly, everything is delicious and flavorful. Great atmosphere, great service, locally owned. We used to come here all the time as a family, but we've sinced moved. Does not disappoint and kids love it❤️”
Outdoor Dining
“Excellent! Great prices for good food and very good variety. More than fair pricing for beer and wine and an outstanding place to watch your favorite sporting event! Gotta love a place that treats their employees well too!”
“I only come here for the flan. It is delicious!! Just like how my mom makes it at home. I live nearby, so I come as often as I can, and I always double check to make sure they have it. The man at the counter is SO sweet. Whether he remembers me or not, he makes me feel like family, which I don't feel a lot in this area. I would NEVER expect anyone to do this, but he even gave me a flan for free one time. He absolutely didn't have to do that, but it meant so much to me. I always come when I need a little flan to make me feel like I'm at home”
“First time here, and I loved it. Everything from the amazing customer service, to the menu, to the ambience. Love that they didn’t bat an eye when the person I came with asked for a million customizations to their latte. They’re super kind and super chill.”
“5 stars for everything is a no brainer. Once you’ve tried it you’ll never go anywhere else. Barts is a true artist who can design and craft ANYTHING you ask. His work is worth every penny. He and his team will work day AND night to make sure you are 120% satisfied. You will not be disappointed, guaranteed.”
“I really just wanted a snack. I do love the single chicken tender option. Using the app, I place the order online. There is plenty of parking out front although with the addition of the coffee and Mendocino Farms a little congested. Inside the location was Poppin.Good music was playing. I approached the counter and gave the female cashier my name. It was ready about a minute later. I ordered a single chicken tender with no spice but normally I do light spice, which is what I prefer. A tender was juicy and a pretty decent portion. It comes served on a slice of white bread with Dave's sauce. It was a perfect snack. I've been here multiple times, but this is my first review. Generally I get a single slider light spice and my hubs gets a slider tender combo with fries. It is a lot of food. The macaroni and cheese is really cheesy too.”
“The most amazing food and service. It was our first time dining there and didn't know what to expect. We were very impressed and can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!”
“Food has such good flavor. From the meat to all the sides. Everything is delicious. Usually do the Hana Special because I cant just decide one thing from the menu. The staff is friendly.”
“You know that type of family that you dread coming to visit you but you have to be nice to them because they only visit once every few years? Yeah... I made the mistake of bringing a family member here yesterday. She was so rude to the waiter. The waiter was wonderful, answered all of our questions, helped with recommendations, and checked up on us often. And even when the family member in question was rude to the waiter and kept trying to show him pictures of a restaurant she visited overseas on her phone. The waiter very politely viewed her photos and described the dishes she had eaten. The waiter was very professional! The food was amazing and it was a good amount of food for the price. They have vegetarian options and meat options for us carnivores. The restaurant was empty since this restaurant is hidden from street view but it is worth the trip. I know I will be ordering from here more often and leaving that rude family member at home. Thank you to the cooks and the staff at this restaurant! You are all amazing! Great food, quiet environment, and professional staff. The dessert was also very tasty! Fresh mango and vanilla pudding. Delicious! They also have take-out and a huge menu to choose from. Don't skip out on this place! Leave the mean family members at home and eat here.”
“When in the area I always stop by for a Large Capicolla on a French roll with the works. Consistently on point and love they throw in a donut and drink. Wish I lived closer. 5 star donut shop.”
“Hands down this is the best Subway ever! The restroom is clean, the bread is fresh, service is fast, and most importantly the employees are amazing. Lettie, Teresa, and Raul are so friendly, hardworking, and attentive to all my special requests. I travel a lot and visit many different Subways, but I have yet to visit one that's this good. I believe they are a level above the rest. In fact, even if I'm near another Subway, I will drive a few more miles to come here. That's a testimony to their consistent service. Thank you Lettie, Teresa, and Raul!!!”
“This place is so nice. I wish everybody knew about it. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the owners are so kind. You can enjoy a meal alone without having anyone bother you. Food is always great. Feels like home. Thank you ”

“Used to go here all the time food really good. I moved a little further away so I got it to go this time. Unfortunately they did not get my order right but food was still great.”
“Great service and great coffee,latte, and tea selections. Their menu for light breakfast and lunch looked delicious and I would like to return to sample. Nice outdoor seating on side/rear of cafe.”
“This place is so special!! The food is amazing, atmosphere is great, the owners are the kindest people you will ever meet. I ordered catering from here for my college graduation and engagement party and everyone was complimenting the food for days! You are seriously missing out if you haven’t tried Sabatinos!!!”
“You can't go wrong with the Alambre burrito and chicken taquitos. The food is superb! Fresh, timely, consistent. Online ordering is easy. Staff is always friendly. This place is authentic and wonderful.”
“Slice offers the best shabu-shabu in south county and certainly among the best in OC. Their ponzu and goma sauces stand up against the best I’ve had. Plus, the staff is always friendly and helpful.”

“The best Thai food I've ever had! Everything I order is delicious. I love the Tom Gai soup, duck curry, and prawns. Also, the owner and staff are so much fun. I never sing karaoke, but they were celebrating a birthday and I tried it... Such a blast! Must visit restaurant in Mission Viejo for great food and atmosphere.”
“I have never been to this restaurant before. I had the opportunity to visit many shops of the PF Chang chain. But this place is uninspiring as a shop and the inside is not like the other shops. Also the seating arrangements are bad. It is not a good shop design, I think it would be nice to close the shop for the winter season and serve after a good renovation inside. Also, I don't know who's idea it is about the TV, but the lion and deer hunting for dinner on TV is not good at all! We could have preferred a sports match!Parking: the parking lot for the cars is very crowded and there is a long line at the charging point. everyone leaves their cars and goes shopping! so come with full electricity, otherwise you will be stranded!”
“I always get a large strawberry milk ×2 boba, and I tend to go after school, so I see some of the same faces each time! I have been going often, and they have remembered my exact drink. Can't go wrong with them! 5 star quality drinks and service ??Thank you!”
“We come here at least once a month. The food is delicious & they change the menu often, which is delightful. It's not boring. The staff is very friendly & know their menu especially their drinks. Always a pleasant experience.”
“I used to go to this place alllll the time growing up and haven't been in forever. It's just as good as I remember it! We started with the 3 stews and the tahdig. The gheymeh was on point today! It was sour and perfect. We also ordered the chicken soltani combo that came with chicken barg and beef koobideh. Both the chicken barg and koobideh were juicy and full of savory goodness. I like to do half rice and half salad so I'm not eating so much rice plus the dressing on the garden salad is tangy yet a little creamy. You haaaave to get the maast moosir with it - it's like OG sour cream and onion (Persian version). It's a thick savory yogurt with shallots in it. Eat all your food with a bite of this. You'll thank me later. Our server Miriam was a real pro making sure we got everything we needed! She was always refilling our drinks.”
“We miss this place sooo much! We moved out of Cali three years ago and use to order delivery on a regular basis. We will be visiting Cali again soon and will definitely be going to Little Chopsticks.”
“Visited this place over the weekend for lunch. We ordered paneer makhni and malai kofta with their bread platter. The curries were delicious. It usually comes with the rice, so if anybody likes to eat curries with rice, the good thing is that you do not have to order it separately.It is run by a couple and they are really warm and friendly. It was a bit empty for weekend lunch time, but then we went late around 1pm, so not sure if that was the reason. They do have a good variety of vegetarian options on the menu and will surely visit them again.”
“Nestled by the water, Hacienda On The Lake offers more than just a meal; it offers an experience. True to the saying in real estate, 'location, location, location,' this establishment proves that where you dine can elevate your dining experience to new heights. The food, a delightful array of Tex-Mex cuisine with a sophisticated twist, earns a solid three-star rating. It's tasty and satisfying, though it might not leave you astounded. However, the service steps up to fill in any gaps left by the culinary offerings, achieving a commendable four stars thanks to the attentive and friendly staff.But the real gem of Hacienda On The Lake is its unparalleled location and atmosphere. With a perfect score of five stars, the breathtaking view of the lake complements your meal, making every bite a bit more special. It's this serene backdrop that truly sets the restaurant apart, providing a feast for the eyes as much as for the taste buds. In summary, while the food is good, and the service is great, it's the atmosphere and location that you'll come back for. Hacienda On The Lake is a testament to the power of a beautiful setting, making it a must-visit for those who believe dining should be an experience to remember.”
“Good variety of paninis. We had the "Bird" turkey and the "Rubennini" and homemade lentil soup. My grandson tried the grilled cheese with hot dog inside. All the food was delicious and the service is excellent.”
“This place has survived many years which speaks for itself! Made reservations via Yelp for Teppan. Very packed on a Friday night! Service was a little slow, but nice and friendly and the fried rice was delicious. I want to try the bread pudding dessert next time, need to save room!”
“I had a slight problem with a takeout order. When I brought it to their attention, they bent over backwards to make everything right. Their food is wonderful. We do takeout at least once a week from Big Chopsticks. The people are so kind and efficient. We will be back again next week for the great food.THANK YOU again.”
“Excellent fish! If looking for crazy rolls with lots of sauces this is not your place. If you just want excellent fish you're in the right place. Only a handful of tables and seats at the sushi bar so reservations are suggested.Parking: Tons of parking.”
“Alex was a great server, we were recommended this restaurant and it did not disappoint!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free soy sauce and very knowledgableKid-friendliness: The teriyaki chicken came with rice, fries, and oranges!”

“This place is my go to. I love it. I’ve tired the ground beef nachos and the Asada nachos. They both were really good. I’ve also tried the Caldo de albóndigas (meatball soup) this place is a hidden gem never too ”
“Pizza made to order Dough cheese and sauce made from scratch not your corporate penny pinch cheap ingredients this place is so delicious and great in quality definitely supporting family owned businesses it's the American dream Covid should have taught us that corporations don't care about people and people care about people.”
“Fast quality service and food. Went through the drive thru. Took less than 5 minutes and it was made fresh. Extremely great value. Spent $4 and was satisfied. Definitely can eat there on a budget.”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE Santora's! We drive from Carlsbad just for the wings. Perfectly cooked, crisped and sauced. It's such a comfortable atmosphere, half the restaurant is a bar and half is a restaurant. Eating here, I never feel like I'm in a bar, yet there a perfect amount of buzz to keep it lively. You've just got to come and try these wings. I know everybody likes their wings cooked differently but this is MY favorite way. Crunchy and perfectly sauced. Gotta go, wings are almost here!”
“We were staying at the attached Ayres and decided to have dinner close to our room...can't be any closer since it's on the 1st floor of the hotel! Ordered two burgers to our liking and it arrived quickly at our table by the kind and attentive waitress. Was worried mine would be raw, but not! It was perfectly cooked. Seems like a great place .”
“Paul’s a weekend brunch heaven. Classic Diner atmosphere and great service. Lots of chooses on the menu. Lots of regulars. Seems the staff know almost everyone. The owners run the place and are very attentive to their customers. Classic mom and pop place. Perfect place if you want an hardy meal. Not a fancy place but comfy. Very popular with locals from Mission Viejo and Ladera Ranch.”
Takeout Restaurants
“This is a great place for delicious pastries. Small company, quiet inside, everything is freshly made into delicious. They try innovative new recipes for food and beverages, and their offerings Change which is fun! Their Cup of Joy latte is my favorite coffee drink. They are centrally located in Mission Viejo but are are not open every day, which is my only complaint!”
“We have been coming to Sno 2 Go for years. Love that you are able to sit in your car, go through drive thru and get your goodies. They also have an ordering counter with a few tables outdoor to enjoy your treats.Love their premade creations, love that they offer sugar free, love that you can customize your treat. Customer service has always been friendly with great vibes. Will definitely keep coming here!”
“My daughter had her end of season softball party here. Looked like such a fun and vibrant place when I dropped her off. I personally didn't eat there but my daughter said she loved their pizza. Of course all the kids loved the games!”

“We’d been trying for 4+ years to find a good and reasonably priced sushi restaurant near Ladera Ranch that also has hot food like chicken or salmon teriyaki. Koko Sushi is what we were looking for.Food, service, and prices are great.”
“Best Chinese food in town with the sweetest gal running the place. Helen is the best. If you live nearby and haven't been here, that's just ridiculous.”

“I have a picky palate, and Sal's is my new favorite pizza restaurant. I just wish they were more conveniently located, because at this time, I must park one or two floors down and finding parking is not so friendly. They do have nice table seating inside. I also buy pizza here and take it into the movie theater next door, because they allow it. Better and cheaper food, why not?Kid-friendliness: The place is PG.”
“This place is so special!! The food is amazing, atmosphere is great, the owners are the kindest people you will ever meet. I ordered catering from here for my college graduation and engagement party and everyone was complimenting the food for days! You are seriously missing out if you haven’t tried Sabatinos!!!”
“I like this place. I come here to study often because of the convenience and I like how study-friendly it is (provides plenty of outlets and a printer). For prices, it's pretty decent. The drinks are OK, not the best but they'll do. I like the Avocado Dreamy and the Thai Tea. Past few times I've come here, the boba has been kind of hard in the middle, so if you can go without it, I'd skip. Also, the food is kind of whatever. The wings have a good flavor but past few times I've come they've been lukewarm. Today, I tried the potato corn dog and it was pretty disappointing. It was smaller than my palm, barely any cheese inside, and burned to a crisp. You're better off going to Mochinut around the corner. However, because I come here often and because I love the workers I can giving it 4 out of 5 stars.”
“Great place to stop in for a beer and quick bite. Can get crowded during big sports or St. Patty Day. Staff is experienced and friendly. Every food order I've had had been solid pub fare. Exactly as expected. I come often and will continue to do so.”
“Came in for a quick poke bowl on my way to tour some homes in Mission Viejo. Staff was friendly and helpful. The poke quality was good and the available toppings were good.Avocado was extra but a must. Free miso soup.I will definitely come back when I’m in the area.”
“Love this location. The people there are always so friendly. The food is always cooked to perfection and you get a good amount of food. The prices are affordable as well. We eat there every week. Great place to eat & watch your Sports!Vegetarian options: Fries, Carrots, Celery, Bread!Parking: You can park anywhere. It does get pretty congested at about 12noon to 1pm because it is located around other restaurants in a plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids can hang out with their parents.”
“The food was really amazing and honestly one of the best places I've had for thai food. The waitresses were very kind and so sweet and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. The interior as well was very cozy and warm.”
“We come here at least once a month. The food is delicious & they change the menu often, which is delightful. It's not boring. The staff is very friendly & know their menu especially their drinks. Always a pleasant experience.”

“Love this place. This is our favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the area. Great quality food, good portions, and the prices are reasonable. Good date night spot, and Kaleidoscope theater is just around the corner.”
“I went inside the restaurant for lunch , service and food was excellent. The price is very reasonable compared to other Persion restaurants. So happy I found this place.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I called the store to order a small catering bundle for my husband's birthday. I was referred to the brand ambassador, Rick. I was given his phone number. Before I had a chance to call, Rick sent me a text to reach out to him or Cody to order at my convenience. I called the next day to purchase. Both team members were polite and patient. I didn't feel rushed or pushed. They made it effortless even when I had to change the delivery time at the last minute. The food arrived perfect and on time. Thanks Jimmy John's!”
“The cooks and staff were ON POINT!!! My first time at this location and my pollo bowl was delicious! The staff were incredibly friendly and the condiments were FRESH. What a pick-me-up during lunch. I'll definitely be back! Caution with the drive-thru...it's VERY narrow!”
“What can I say. The kids and I love the Blizzards. My favorite is the Hawaiian Blizzard. My son the M&M Blizzard and my daughter the Rainbow Blizzard. For us it does not have to be a warm day. In fact we just went during the recent cold and rainy Pineapple Express Storm that hit Southern California. Fitting for my Hawaiian blizzard. Anyway, when you need a treat, ice cream always works for us. Puts a smile on the faces of the grumpiest kids. Haha”
“They have loco moco! I was able to sub an Impossible patty for $3. It was bomb. Their hash browns, crispy brown outside, so good. Eggs cooked to perfection whether sunny side up or scrambled.Yes, I know fake meat is worse for your health than real beef. For my medical condition, plant-based protein whenever possible per my doctor. For loco moco you can choose ground beef, sausage, chicken. Garden or Impossible patty for an upcharge.”
“They have a good special that they keep rotating for about $5.99. If they take it off, I stop going!! They should always keep it permanently on the menu, since I go at least 2-3 or more times a week. Think it is called "Deluxe cheeseburger combo".The thing that really brings me back are the curle fries, which I substitute for the reg fries for a 40 cent mark up!! They have the best curley fries of any burger chain!! Crunchy and soft potato at the same time, without being oily!!! Also comes with a drink! Total cost with fries upgrade $6.68!!Parking: Building adjacent 30 spaces and drive thru”
“We did the drive thru today and had the opportunity to get a free short hot chocolate as a special. I'm glad it was free as the taste today was off, and the cup was filled halfway. Our normal drinkers were fine and tasted as normal.”
“Thank you for my very fresh food and very fast service every day I go for a breakfast burger and everything faded thank you MIREYA a very clean place to eat with the ”
“Ryan the shift lead was so helpful and sweet. I had a huge pickup and he worked it all out and got it ready very fast. So nice and very professional. Thanks again for helping me.”
“It's a jack in the box, so I'm not here reviewing jack in the box food. Go look elsewhere if you want that. Although I will say that the food was cooked to the ideal standard for what Jack in the Box customers should expect.I went in here during a massive rainstorm that suddenly came out of no where while I was getting my car repaired next door. I came in here to get food and wait for my car. I got the crispy chicken sandwich meal. It was totally fine.I love the soda machine for having my Diet Coke lime ginger available since they have that machine that has like 100 combinations of syrups to make the drink you want. The staff was nice because I didn't know what I wanted. Granted it was empty at that moment so it would be weird if they rushed me. They were totally nice. I was there well after my meal was finished waiting out the rain and my car repair. No one bothered me. Overall great experience. I don't normally eat Jack in the Box or fast food in general so I was very pleased that it was not so over greasy that i later regretted it since I wasn't used to eating that way.If i wanted to eat jack in the box again I'd go here. Well, lf I were near this location. I live in irvine so I'm not going to drive from Irvine just for this restaurant, but I am also not going to get in my car and get Jack in the Box normally.”
“This particular Panda Express is in the food court of The Shopps st Mission Veiho Shopping Mall. The service and atmosphere are those of a food court. The chow mein are good. The orange chicken is ok too. The fried rice didn't live up to my ”
“Great location. I love this Taco Bell. The kiosks are a little weird. There has been 2 times where I tried modifying items on my order via kiosk and I got my order as if I didn't modify anything. I tried swapping out a chicken chalupa for a beef chalupa both times but still got chicken. It's a little weird considering the receipt shows I ordered beef and not chicken. I would recommend this location, but if you need to modify your order, stay away from the kiosks.”
“Fresh food, friendly service nice clean facilitiesParking: Could have more parking spotsKid-friendliness: Kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible”
“The food was ready quickly and was as expected. The drive-thru is a little tight, so if you have a big car or truck, just be aware. The employees were very polite and ”
“Have not been to Del Taco for a long time so decided to grab the two grilled chicken tacos meal with chili fries and a drink. The tacos tasted pretty good, but the fries were cold. I honestly didn’t remember when I was ever served cold fries. They even managed to forget to give me my drink. Maybe this was why I had not been to Del Taco for such a long time.”
“We have loved Jack in the Box since high school!Jack's Famous Tacos ? are a family favorite! Economically priced, especially when you have teenage boys! I have to say, though, we sure miss the Super Taco!”
“Always down for anything mushroom and anything truffle, so naturally, I gravitated towards their Tuscan Mushroom Pizza. And now, the deets... - Tuscan Mushroom (Extra Large) | Soft and chewy shiitake mushrooms, caramelized onions, feta cheese, thyme, and that distinct pungent truffle, all over roasted garlic sauce. The crust is crispy on the outside and spongy chewy inside. The flavors have a nice punch of umami with sweet undertones. Perfection. I've been back a few times since and order the same thing. It's definitely worth checking out; you might become addicted to it too.”
“I always order for pick up here. If you sit you're set. If you order pick up they charge every single thing including the siracha or side of eel sauce you would assume should come included with your meal.. that's the only reason I'm giving this place a 4Foods a 5It's always busy which is a great sign. But yea it's not a lot obviously what you're spending on the sauces but still, they should be provided and any more after that should be charged.”
“My favorite juice bar! They seem to be understaffed so the wait time to even order seems ridiculous to me but it's worth the wait. I love to get the peanut butter flavors. Very fresh and has never disappointed me.”

“Love it here! They have good deals on different days of the week so be sure to check those out. I always get the Biscoff cookie flavor and that alone is enough but I’m a sucker for toppings so I always have them throw some on there for me. The last time we went the worker asked beforehand if I wanted topping and switched me to a larger cup so they wouldn’t fall everywhere. I really appreciated that foresight. I tend to struggle with ice cream and golden spoon never upsets my stomach. This place is a gem.Vegetarian options: Its soft serve and as a person who suffers with dairy this does not upset my stomach.Parking: Parking is easy and its a huge lot.”
“We had the carnitas and carne asada tacos. Both were delicious. Beware, you get a lot of meat in your tacos. My daughter wasn't able to finish her taco and I only ate one of mine. I don't mind leftovers so will definitely have it later.”
“Great variety of drinks, including boba drinks not on their menu. They also serve some hot food and have snacks on the side like chips and bagels. Prices are great compared to Jamba Juice or Nekter. Staff are very friendly. They also have plenty of indoor seating if you’re looking to stay and enjoy your drink there”
“Best Pastor! Been coming here for around 15yrs.. Always a quick jump off the freeway on our travels.. Pastor Burrito - No rice or beans.. you’ll thank me later! ?”
“My family loves coming to Samurai. It's a great place that is open later than a lot of other places in Mission Viejo. The food is always great, and the service is very good and friendly too.”
“The food took a little longer to come out than a usual pho place. But wow… worth the wait!Get the rib pho, you won’t regret it. I’ve tried many pho places in the west coast and this is easily top 3.”
“I want to give a shout out to the older gentleman with the grey hair who was so kind today 3/13/24 at 5:30pm. Our order had issues and we ended up waiting a while and this gentleman was so kind and apologetic and I really appreciated his customer service. I believe he may be the manager or owner and I wish I by it his name but I wanted to give him a shout out!”
“Friendly little spot popular with the locals (and not just for the clever name). The menu is simple but provides some excellent options. Indoor/outdoor seating, and popular for takeout. Very good broth!”
“I didn't get a picture of the burrito. But wow it was so good!!! I went twice while I was there over the weekend - got a lunch and a breakfast burrito and I could have gone again! The burrito is filling but doesn't make you feel overly stuffed. Additional green sauce is a must! The breakfast sandwich is great and is a great lighter option. The donuts looked really good but we didn't get one. I would recommend the mango smoothie too!!”
“All Star Pizza All star pizza is a local pizza place they have good pizza ($~20) and Pepsi Fountain drinks($~3). Motsarella sticks were good. The service was good, The restaurant was clean, Friendly service. The game room has ~6 arcade games (aka Mrs paceman, car racing, duck claw machine, candy claw machine (the last two are " always a prize") and more. Most of them are $0.50 to play. They have a dollar to coin machine on site. This pizza place has a lot of Televisions (13) I can see every sports game! They have an outdoor dining area. Overall I would consider coming back to this place.”
“Good place to grab a burger. I was a little overwhelmed with all of the options on the menu at first, but the cashier was helpful and helped to guide me. I went with the Original Burger Boss burger with mushrooms and avocado. You can definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients like the meat, the bun, avocado, and mushrooms. The burger patty was mostly all lean and seasoned well. I also liked the fries, and I tried the mint lemonade. There are several locations, so I'd be open to checking out another location. I recommend Burger Boss if you're feeling like having a fresh burger!”
“This is really good pizza! I had one little glitch when I ordered thru Postmates, though. I got the dinner salad for $4.98 & boosted it to "family size" for an additional $4.95, according to the app. I ended up getting 2 enormous salads and was charged double instead of 1 salad for a little over $9. Obviously, it's still a great deal, but that's WAY too much salad for 2 people. "Keep it for a couple days and eat it over time," right? Unfortunately, one of us is leaving tomorrow to go out of town. It was just a waste of food. I'm going to do my best to eat it, though. Just a warning to those contemplating the size for the price- honestly? I'm not sure what the size is for a normal dinner salad for the $4.98. But I think it's PLENTY for 1 person, if not two.”
“For this small restaurant to be located inside the mall, it is such a nice find! The staff was very friendly and kind. I stopped in on a Saturday morning and it was not at all difficult to get seated. The space inside is relatively small, but they do a cute job at decorating and giving you a French cafe feel. The food was delicious and came out at a reasonable time! The servings are quite large and thank goodness because the food was so so good! I can appreciate the fast service that delivered great flavors!”
“Amazing staff, food, and service all topped off with a peaceful, thoughtful, and enjoyable ambiance. 5 stars all around, I also recommend their tea bar Harmony. Will be going here forever!”
“I recommend trying this place out if you're in the area. They have really unique drinks that you can't find anywhere else. They have a good mixture of milk teas and fruit teas as well as some snack items which I have yet to try. The drinks do not taste artificial at all which is one of the things I look for in a good boba spot. My only complaint is that I got the pink guava oasis which is guava juice with jasmine green tea and lime...but I only tasted the guava juice. My friend got the baby peach with cheese foam and you couldn't really taste the tea in there either. I'll probably go back and try some of the milk teas but so far their fruit drinks are pretty one dimensional. You place your order on a tablet which can look overwhelming but it gives you the freedom to customize your drink to your liking. Price wise...it's pretty expensive for a drink but taken into consideration that they use 0 calorie sugar and real fruit it does seem fair.”
“Nestled by the water, Hacienda On The Lake offers more than just a meal; it offers an experience. True to the saying in real estate, 'location, location, location,' this establishment proves that where you dine can elevate your dining experience to new heights. The food, a delightful array of Tex-Mex cuisine with a sophisticated twist, earns a solid three-star rating. It's tasty and satisfying, though it might not leave you astounded. However, the service steps up to fill in any gaps left by the culinary offerings, achieving a commendable four stars thanks to the attentive and friendly staff.But the real gem of Hacienda On The Lake is its unparalleled location and atmosphere. With a perfect score of five stars, the breathtaking view of the lake complements your meal, making every bite a bit more special. It's this serene backdrop that truly sets the restaurant apart, providing a feast for the eyes as much as for the taste buds. In summary, while the food is good, and the service is great, it's the atmosphere and location that you'll come back for. Hacienda On The Lake is a testament to the power of a beautiful setting, making it a must-visit for those who believe dining should be an experience to remember.”
“I am incredibly grateful for the amazing experience at Hatam Restaurant. The owners are fantastic, prices are reasonable, and the food quality and service are exceptional. The management team deserves applause for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. The Kabab Soltani, Chicken Barge, Salmon, and White Fish were all unbelievably delicious. It has become our family's favorite hangout spot, and we look forward to returning every week. Truly a gem in every aspect!Thank you,Alireza Laghaee :)”

“This place has survived many years which speaks for itself! Made reservations via Yelp for Teppan. Very packed on a Friday night! Service was a little slow, but nice and friendly and the fried rice was delicious. I want to try the bread pudding dessert next time, need to save room!”

“Beautiful welcoming caffe with fresh and delicious pastries. Almond croissant is crispy and just right amount of sweetness. Owner Ava is so warm and kind, it is a pleasure to meet her and her hospitality. Ambiance is done with love and great taste. I would highly recommend it.”

“Phoned manager regarding my hamburger that was raw and I got deathly ill, manager took it off the bill and I explained he should have a talk with his chef's because I did call my order in and ask for a well done hamburger. Very disappointed in the preparation of my meal, very leery about ever ordering from California Pizza Kitchen again.”
“The food lived up to the hype. Everything was fresh and the flavor was so good and simple. I usually like a lot of sauces and layers to this type of food but this was my favorite simple chicken wrap. 10/10 recommend.”

“I really just wanted a snack. I do love the single chicken tender option. Using the app, I place the order online. There is plenty of parking out front although with the addition of the coffee and Mendocino Farms a little congested. Inside the location was Poppin.Good music was playing. I approached the counter and gave the female cashier my name. It was ready about a minute later. I ordered a single chicken tender with no spice but normally I do light spice, which is what I prefer. A tender was juicy and a pretty decent portion. It comes served on a slice of white bread with Dave's sauce. It was a perfect snack. I've been here multiple times, but this is my first review. Generally I get a single slider light spice and my hubs gets a slider tender combo with fries. It is a lot of food. The macaroni and cheese is really cheesy too.”
“Back for more, I got my usual chicken enchiladas and tried something new. - Chicken Enchiladas | I've ordered this plenty of times in the past and for good reason; the chicken is always so tender and they never skimp out on the cheese. It's good, guys. Really, really good. - Carne Asada Nachos | Crisp but tender carne asada chunks with refried beans, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. The tortilla chips didn't hit the mark for me, but it's not a deal breaker.”
“One of my son's favorite chicken spots, I am addicted to their mashed potatoes with Cajun gravy and their red beans and rice too ? The only reason I gave 3 stars on atmosphere is because it's kind of in a weird location and has almost no seating indoors and no outdoor seating to accommodate, but their food...amazing!”
“The food was really amazing and honestly one of the best places I've had for thai food. The waitresses were very kind and so sweet and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. The interior as well was very cozy and warm.”
“Raising Cane is the upcoming fast growing fried chicken fast food restaurant all through So Cal. They are the new Chick-fil-A in town. They have Texas toasts and Chicken Fingers. That's all they have and bundle them in different options. They are tasty ?”
“Alex at Cava is excellent at his job, and his customer service skills are 5 star+. I love the food, but I go to this location for Alex, and the entire crew. They are so kind, and fantastic at providing an excellent experience where you feel welcome. It doesn't feel like a casual restaurant because of Alex & the crew providing 5 star experience including opening the door for you if they are available to do so. Above & beyond. Thank you so much. I love this place because of the crew.”

“This place is my go to. I love it. I’ve tired the ground beef nachos and the Asada nachos. They both were really good. I’ve also tried the Caldo de albóndigas (meatball soup) this place is a hidden gem never too ”
“Very happy they put a chipotle in the food court of The Shops at Mission Viejo or as some people call it, the Mission Viejo Mall. The food court has really good options with Blaze Pizza and Smash Burger also two of my favorite quick places but Chipotle always wins out because it tastes so healthy, the guac is so good, and it’s priced just right.”
“My husband and I love Chili's. The manager here was phenomenal and extremely friendly! The waitress we had was very sweet! Awesome food, I literally crave the burgers there every day. Great prices, nice staff, please don't close this one like the AV one closed.”
“Good variety of paninis. We had the "Bird" turkey and the "Rubennini" and homemade lentil soup. My grandson tried the grilled cheese with hot dog inside. All the food was delicious and the service is excellent.”
