“I am having a love-hate relationship with Jack in the box right now. I love their deep fried tacos, but lately it seems that they have stopped putting the slice of cheese in the taco. and if it doesn't have the slice of cheese, it's just not worth eating. It only happens occasionally it's not something I can fully complain about until it's happening consistently. I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. hopefully they come through for me.“

“Okay I actually don't leave reviews for fast food restaurants, but I couldn't help it for this one time. Whoever is in the kickten right now at 12:45pm is a complete master at cooking. I have gone to many different pollo locos and ask for the same burrito, and never have I had one like this. Seriously, I can't even put it to words.

The Chipotle chicken avocado burrito felt like it was made by a holy entity. The only regret I have is that I didn't take a picture of it. If I had a chance, I would gladly shake everyone's hand in the kitchen and thank them for their excellent work.

De veras que rico estaba ese burrito wow. Pero si los con estan en la cocina esta fijándose mucho en el cualidad de la comida que sale a los clientes. Lo agradezco mucho.“

I chickened out at the last moment and ordered the tots again. I mentioned this at the pickup window this and asked if she could maybe throw just two french fries in bag for me to try. She said she would have to ask. She came back with my food smiling and said they were able to put a whole small fries in the bag. This really made my day, whole week actually. Thank you Lizbeth!

I will have to make time to come to Salinas more often and support this location. The fries were amazing by the way. Probably my favorite of all the fast food fries I have ever tried.“

Jersey Mike's Subs Sandwich Shop • $

“Let me just start off by saying that this place is so much better than subway. I was a subway guy for most of my life, and one day as I was leaving marshals to get some cheap socks, I saw the big letters of, “Jersey Mikes” and decided, “why not let’s try something new”

First and only immediate issue is that this place doesn’t have Meatball subs.

Outside of that I was welcomed by friendly staff, and when asked what I wanted mentioned I was a first time customer. The staff walked me through their menu and I ended up getting one of their cold cut sandwiches and having it done “mikes way”. I got myself a drink and cookie to go. I especially noticed the way they fold and wrap their sandwiches, something subway never really did. But I found it interesting…. Maybe more professional.

I remember taking my first bite in my used 1990 Honda civic and was amazed by the flavor and quality of the ingredients, for a second I forgot I was in a car that was almost 35 years old.

Overall this is my favorite sandwich shop in salinas with Ike’s being a distant 2nd and Subway being last. Erik’s deli? Never heard of them. If you want a solid cold cut, with staff that care about giving you quality service. Come here for lunch! Come here for dinner come here for breakfast. There is a sandwich for everyone.

I do hope they come out with a meatball sandwich.“

“Yet another place in the seaside being strange towards black people.They said they were fully staffed one week when I asked to see the Manager about applying seeing the now hiring sign to be told right after that they som how hired four new people the previous day so they are not hiring I should have come earlier she said forgetting that I was there before.Found out from one of the local workers (asked I didn't say job or name but thank you for input) that they only hire "there kind" and they have to be high schoolers... Just take the sign down and close the lobby and be a drive through. Seeing as they try to push u to use the kiosk so they can focus on drive through since they are willingly understaffed as is most of Fremont Blvd .. this is a very divided community and I've lived in some places racist places in my time but here just seams like everyone hates everyone and make it worse for each other at every chance they get

Wheelchair accessibility: It has that so they can tell u not to come in I guess“

The Ultimate B M T

“I was driving through Salinas and I was a bit peckish. Wanting to grab a quick bite without breaking the bank, I saw this Subway. So off I go. The place was clean, staff provided good customer service, and the sandwich was delicious. It's comforting to know that I can go any Subways and get the same quality sandwich and reasonable prices. And this location did just that.

I sat inside to eat, it was clean and comfortable. The AC was cranking. There were a steady stream of customers eating in, the staff kept the dining room clean. The shop is located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. They are located on the corner of South Main Street (Route 68) and Nissen Road. The only glitch, in my visit, was that the restroom was out of order but there was a plumber there working on the issue.“
