This place has one of the better breakfast burritos that money can buy. They have a very convenient drive thru as well. I am a fan of the carnitas burrito specifically.  They also offer Horchata to drink if that is your cup of tea (but it really isn't tea, I was just using that saying).

Whenever I am in town for more than a few days, a trip to Adalbertos is likely.

A couple friends (that are also a couple) took me to San Francisco the day before my birthday and one of the places we went to was Big Slice Pizza. We probably spent more time looking for parking than we actually did in the pizza joint but it was still good food. I ended up getting a slice of pesto and soda. The sodas are only 50 cents more with a slice of pizza which isn't a bad deal. The downfall is that it costs 50 cents for a soda refill, so take your time drinking that bad boy!

Like another reviewer mentioned, the pizza taste is probably different between coming hot out of the oven and being under the lamp. Mine came from under the lamp so the taste was nothing extraordinary but the one slice did fill me up so I was satisfied.

I liked the artwork and posters on the wall too, many of which could be purchased.

I would prefer to give this place 3 and half stars but I can't so 4 will do. This place is in Salinas even though you can't tell by the name. I came here with my family after going to the National Steinbeck Center.  I had their Oktoberfest to drink and ordered an eggplant lasagna. The food was good though I wish their were more menu items to choose from. The beer sampler is a good deal as stated by Jennifer S. as my dad ended up getting the same thing.

If I ever end up in Salinas for anything again then I wouldn't rule out coming back here.

Went here a couple weeks ago while I was in Arizona. This place isn't located far from the Phoenix Airport so it was the breakfast spot of choice after arriving in the morning.

The place wasn't lit very much at all. I don't know if it was supposed to be romantic or if it was supposed to be scary (as they had Halloween decorations up too).

Our party was sat at a table near the entrance. It seemed like everyone else eating there was off to the right in another section of the restaurant. We were thinking that maybe the "regulars" have a different place to sit?

It didn't really matter though as the food was good. My uncle, his friend, and I all had the Pig Out Breakfast - which included eggs, pancackes, bacon, sausage, and ham.

I won't be surprised if I go here again next year.

On a Tuesday morning, my family (minus the sister who was not there) was looking for a good breakfast place near Angels Camp and Grounds was recommended as a good spot.

From the outside of the restaurant, it doesn't look like Grounds is even going to be big enough to hold our party of five. We soon discovered that they had more seating in the back so that is where we ended up sitting.

Although their menu isn't full of a wide range of various meals, the stuff they do make is done well.

I ordered a Spanish Omelette which came with a potato pancake and sourdough toast. All of it was great and very filling.

The service was very friendly too which always helps. If I actually lived in the area then I might have even asked out the worker who brought me my water as she was cute. But alas, I don't live anywhere nearby so I kept my mouth shut and tried not to stare.

If I'm ever in the area again then I wouldn't mind heading back here for breakfast.

I went here on a Wednesday night because I knew that the A's and Giants both had day games and the Sharks were not scheduled to play. Knowing this, I figured there wouldn't be much of a crowd at the Yard House. I was wrong. Along with my friend, we waited two hours to be seated. We did go to the for a couple drinks while we waited though.

This place gets 5 stars from me just for the beer alone. Over 130 beers on tap? Can we say "Heaven"? I was in flavor country!

For food, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana. I ended up getting the Chicken Penne though. Our waitress realized she pressed the incorrect key when entering the order. She apologized and I got the correct dish shortly after - Now, you might think I should dock points for the incorrect item I received, but I respect the waitress who owned up to her mistake.

Don't come here unless you plan on spending some money though. You must not forget, this is Santana Row we're talking about.

I will definitely come back here in the future.

I'm going to consider this review incomplete for now. I came here with my friend before going to a concert at The Warfield. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich which turned out to be a mess. The bottom piece of bread became extremely soggy which led to  many of the contents of the actual sandwich falling out.

To drink, my friend and I ordered a pitcher of the Big Daddy beer which was pretty good.

This place gets one star just for their rotating door entrance which I got my friend stuck in as we left. That was a good laugh.

I'll be back try a different menu item in the future.

I came here with my family to celebrate my dad's birthday. I ordered the Special Chile Verde Burrito which is topped with cheese and sauce. It included refried beans and mexican rice on the side.

The burrito wasn't quite as spicy as I anticipated but it was still tasty. They provide complimentary chips and salsa which are good . I was disappointed that they charge a $1 for soda refills though. If you order a soda, make sure you don't chug it down before your food arrives!

Had sushi here on Friday afternoon with my uncle and his girlfriend around 4pm while there happened to be not many other people eating. This was a good time to go the restaurant as it started to get crowded when we left.

I ordered one of the special rolls for the day, The  UFO, and a Philadelphia Roll. The UFO roll comes out on foil with a fire lit underneath it. It is quite the spectacle.  It wasn't really too spicy even though it contains spicy tuna.

My uncle ordered a James Bomb roll which contains eel and it was good as well.

I really like the hours the restaurant has too. Most sushi places close mid-day and are closed on either Sunday or Mondays. This particular sushi restaurant is open every day of the week and they do not close for breaks.  

I would definitely eat there again.

Great, great, great! I went here today with my family for my sister's birthday. My sister wanted sushi for lunch and on a Sunday that is not the easiest thing to find as most sushi places are closed or only open for dinner on Sundays. This place happens to be open starting at 1pm on Sundays so I recommended that we check it out.  We got there at about 1:10pm and the place was already packed with people! Wow. The 6 of us in our party getting seated at the bar area and gaze at menus. Wow, these menus are heavy, what are they made out of? I don't know and I don't care, I'm hungry!

My sister, uncle, and I decide to split four rolls amongst the three of us.  We ordered the Golden Gate Roll, 49er Roll, Unagi Lover, and Catepillar Roll. All of them proved  to be fantastic.

We were also given complimentary mussels to try before we got our sushi - and those were so spicy hot that they almost burned our tongues off - but who are we to judge free food, haha. ,

I was impressed with how quick we got our order especially since it was so busy and I'm used to sushi taking longer to prepare at other places that I have been to.

The location is rather small and although part of me wishes the place was larger and had more seating - another part of me thinks that if the place was larger that the quality of food wouldn't be as good.

This isn't your Americanized sushi spot - it isn't going to have those gooey sauces all over it. It is a fantastic sushi spot and I look forward to sharing it with friends in the future. Plus, it made me look good for my sister's birthday!
