I love this place. It may not be authentic Mexican, but that doesn't mean it isn't really good. And I absolutely *adore* their guacamole -- no tomatoes! Their chips are well salted with a light lime flavor that is noticeable but not overpowering...
And then there are the burritos. They're huge, and they pack them with great stuff, whatever fixins you want, and the manage to build a fairly stable burrito to boot -- no massive structural failures resulting in burrito blowout, no squishing of the burrito when you bite into it...
If you get the hotter salsas, though, be careful when you get to the bottom -- I've been quite surprised to find the pool of hot salsa at the bottom of my burrito!
This place is a little out of the way, unfortunately, but the parking lot is ample. It's a chain, and I found no noticeable difference in quality between this one, and the one I originally went to (now defunct) in San Bruno.
Mmm, it's making me hungry just thinking about a Chipotle burrito...
PROS: Huge, tasty burritos, great guacamole made fresh
CONS: Location is kinda off the beaten path unless you live/work locally.

I have never been treated as good as i was treated at Mimis. Everyone was so friendly and seemed to really care about me and my family. The manager even stopped by just to make sure everything was great. The food was outstanding and very affordable.

This is a smaller restaurant with only a few tables in the place but it doesn't matter because the food is still good! There is a lunch time rush, but the line goes fast. The service is great, the employees greet you with a happy ALOHA and the prices are awesome. A mini chicken katsu plate is less than 5 bucks & it's pretty big. I can never finish it one sitting. You can also get other hawaiian classics like spam masubi & portuguese sausage. You won't be disappointed.

The assistant manager does not possess any leadership skills what so ever. She is sloppy and extremely rude. I love Peets but until upper management realizes that she is a problem I will patronize other coffee houses in the area or go out of my way to visit other Peets locations.
Pros: The best coffee ever!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: poor customer service from management

Been to many togo's and the quality of the food is standard just like any other. Not sure if it's because it was busy during lunch but the service was not exactly top notch. No smiles or thank you's. There was a long line and they seemed to be trying to get our order in as fast as possible. Luckily they did get my order right. Sandwiches are not deli quality but hey it's worth it for the price.

Ever since they torn down the old Taco Bell and built this new one the service has consistently been top notch. I can tell the employees genuinely care about service. The food on the other hand is typical fast food: cheap, fattening, greasy, but tasty! =D
