“ Its just a joy to know that even on Saturday's they are open. I had chicken enchalada. The chicken is tender and tasty. It complements the rice and beans since I got a combo. The service is fast and the food is presented well. You are always greeted with a smile from the staff as you go in. I love this place! ”
“ Clean environment, friendly and welcoming employees, and the best breakfast burrito I've ever had can't wait to be back ! ”
“ I no longer trust a lot of reviews online. You cannot judge an establishment on the advice of a few people, who may or may not be being truthful or have some biased point of view because of personal issues. Or maybe the reviewer or the establishment was having an off day? Either way, I'll judge for myself. I wholeheartedly disagree with some of the Google reviews for Armando's. It's near my work so I get breakfast burritos on the regular. I get mine with bacon, egg and pico cooked inside. The burrito is way more than I should eat in a sitting (but I often do) and it's the same each time. Consistent and hefty. I admit I have a habit of getting the same thing when I go to places. Why fix it if it ain't broke? But for the first time in years, I went and got lunch. Pictured are the two tacos I ordered - carnitas and baja. The green salsa was (and just IS epic). It's not fancy, it's simple good Mexican food. The staff is always nice and go out of their way to make sure I'm happy. No matter how early I order, mere minutes after they open, they are friendly, quick and thorough. Very welcoming and a ton of stuff to choose from. I can't imagine how difficult it must be based on where they are located. They are in the center of all the Qualcomm offices, and since the pandemic many people working up that way, myself included, are working from home half of the week. I would guess they never know from day to day whether it will be busy or not because of the inconsistent work schedules. And it's not in a residential area so business is mostly office workers. Through it all they have remained a solid place for me to eat and they do it smiling. ”
“ The Pollo Asada tacos are incredible! I get them without sour cream and guacamole I've been back once a week to have them The service is amazing both people I've seen there are so friendly! Most importantly both the red and green salsas are some of the best around and if you eat in they give you big bottles of it for the table ”
“ Excellent customer service! The lady at the front counter was beautiful and always smiled. Even the cook was friendly. The food was solid, it was cooked fresh and the salsas had good flavor. I will definitely be back. ”
“ I have been here several times since I began within my new office. The front cashier is always so helpful - her name is Jocelyn! I feel like everytime I come THEYRE always short staff but they always make it work so well. I highly recommend the carne asada burrito! I love that they're authentic Mexican food in a corporate suburban location! Thank you Jocelyn for always being so welcoming and helpful for each customer and myself when I walk in! You're so amazing!! ”
“ Consistently good Mexican Food! I get lunch here every week when we buy for the crew at our Biotech company. I have tried burritos, quesadillas, combo plates, nachos, etc. I have never had a bad meal here. Not fancy priced, just right. ”
“ Always a GOOD spot for quick Mex food! Had the CA Burrito combo and didn't disappoint. I normally have the CA fries here... but with beans & rice it was definitely tasty!!!!! ”
“ Giving this place 4 1/2 stars because the staff was amazing and super friendly. They were the only place open at 630 in the morning while we were charging our Tesla across the street. The place was clean and respecting social distancing. Employees (including cook), were all wearing masks. There was hand sanitizer at the register. And all they had to go condiments so there was no cross touching going on. We ordered the breakfast burrito which was HUGE! And we had them add pico and grilled veggies. We also got extra salsa to go. The girl who took our order was so so amazing. She was friendly and helpful. And so positive so early in the morning. They let us use their bathroom, which was clean and stocked. We were so thankful for that! We took our burritos to go. Like I said they are huge, but they were lacking flavor. I think had we eaten them there, we would have added salt and pepper and more hot sauce to bring out the flavors. So that was a little disappointing. But they filled out belies, emptied our bladders and gave us warm fuzzy positivity to start our morning. So overall it was a great experience. ”
