Calzones Calzones\n\nNorth West Las Vegas has a new unique family run Calzone bakery that is ready to impress.\n\nLocated along the cross streets of farm and Cimarron in the small strip mall behind the gas station 7/11.\n\nAfter seeing elite yelpers Ty & Lore checking into this new establishment, my desire for calzones for dinner was too much. Being greeted by a trio of owners I had the sense of an already established mom & pop vibe.\n\nAfter running through the menu of calzones I ended up with the Canadian Bacon with Pineapple and Italian sausage. All were extremely tasty, with the bread seeming fresh. This is hand made calzones, not your frozen late night dinner meals from the grocery store.\n\nAlso a great range of Italian soda's is also available.\n\nWhen reviewing Presto they had only been open less than a week. But with a little help from the yelp crew I believe this is another quality addition to the area.\n\nOverall\nFood: 5-5\nDrink: 4-5\nService: 5-5\nComing back: yes

I've had this placed bookmarked for awhile and finally had the chance to try Presto Calzone Bakery out. Items tried and liked: Spinach Calzone (light & fresh tasting), Watermelon and Strawberry Italian Soda, Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Oatmeal Scotchies. Everything was so delicious! You can definitely feel the love & dedication In their food. Shop is cute, clean & quaint. Service was excellent. A new favorite for my daughter and I.

Heard about this place from a friend and happy that I was able to try it out. Owners/staff super friendly and made it a personalized experience. Happy to see that there was a veggie option on menu. Tried the spinach and mushroom calzone with a white sauce and it was delicious. Definitely had the homemade touch which is nice to find! A must try!!

5

A quick trip to pick up a burrito lead me to Presto and an amazing sausage combo calzone next door instead. Great food at a reasonable price, friendly people and cool vibe.

I hate to be the Debbie Downer raining on this parade, but I don't understand the hype surrounding Presto's. The bakery itself is small and bare. There's only 3 tables and a few bar stools inside. I think they're striving to be more to-go based than be a dine-in restaurant (especially with the roll out of their take-home pizza menu). \n\nPresto's was freezing. The bubbly employee apologized and explained that the heater was broken. After ordering our food, two men stood next to our table discussing the heater problem and fire alarm implications. Kind of awkard. \n\nAs mentioned before in another review, the menu is limited, although it is expanding. Calzones are $6. There's only 2 vegetarian options: 1) a plain 'ol cheese and marinara calzone; 2) the garlic and parmesan calzone, which is filled with mushrooms, spinach, cheese, and white sauce. I wasn't ecstatic with my options, but I went with option #2. I added a side of marinara for an extra buck. \n\nIt took about 20 minutes to get our order. BTW we were the only ones there. As least we got to sip on the best Italian soda ever while we waited. Seriously, Presto's custom made Italian soda deserves a beverage award. The soda was the highlight of our visit. $2 is a bargain for a cup of Presto's magical soda. And there's 30 flavors to choose from! I went with lime - I'd definitely recommend it.\n\nBut I digress. You can't visit a calzone bakery just for the soda. The calzones are small, but for $6, you have to assume they're going to be small. My garlic parmesan calzone was alright, not epic but not horrible either. My favorite part was the crust. To my dismay, there was just the slightest bit of onions in the calzone. There was no mention of onions on the menu, so I didn't expect there to be any in my calzone. Those little crunchy clear bastard onions are the bane of my existence!!\n\nStill hungry, the Mister and I started working on the German chocolate cake we had ordered ($3). The coconut frosting on top lacked the ooey gooey factor and the cake was dry. I wish it was sweeter too. Ugh. We ate about half of it, and called it quits (and it wasn't because we were full!). \n\nHere's the short and simple version :\nAtmosphere : 2\nItalian soda : 5+\nCustomer service : 4\nGarlic parmesan calzone : 3.5\nGerman chocolate cake : 1\n\nWorth a return visit? Probably not, at least for now. \n\nWhat would make me like Presto's better? A calzone more enticing to vegetarians. Like one with olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, lots of cheese, and marinara sauce. Basically more veggies. Also, a more decorated and exciting layout would help. With color.\n\nYELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #01

I adore Karma Connection! The owners are so nice and informative! Their merchandise and selection is really growing! They have new jewelry every time I go in!

1

Wait time is ridiculous. There is no excuse to take 50 minutes to get a pita to a customer. We were not informed of any wait when we ordered. I watched the line extend out the door multiple times, then an employee would tell the people about the long wait and they would all leave. The place lost hundreds of dollars in revenue in the hour I was waiting there. Fries were ice cold.

1

Just walked up to the counter and tried to order. The girl behind the counter said \"Did you hear? All food is taking 45 minutes to come out. Would you like to order?\" Ummm - no! How can a pita take 45 minutes? It's 1 pm on a Monday and they weren't even full! No thanks.

2

Here's the thing, I'm here on a work trip and needed a quick lunch before I start my day. I waited 45 minutes from cash wrap to food on the table to eat when I had an entire hour for my lunch set aside. The business model is poor and not equipped to service the clientele that wants to eat at this shopping center. Tighten up your screws if you want to survive this market. Thank you for the rushed lunch and stomach ache. PS the food is OK. Not worth 45 minutes. It's just a sandwich at the end of the day or a plate of romaine...I love this type of food and would love to enjoy it on my visits, but I can't afford the time I lose. Thanks.

2

food is really just ok. they must improve otherwise when other restaurants open at Downtown Summerlin it would be hard for them to survive...

5

Food is great! Definitely worth the wait. I'd rather wait to have good food cooked correctly. Just remember that Mediterranean food can't be done right in 5 minutes. Just wait it out, we'll worth the wait.

2

I really wanted to like this but there were some things that were lacking to give Crazy Pita a higher rating. I went on 10/20 in the late afternoon the place had steady traffic but not packed. First, the service....was friendly and attentive. The server came to my table a couple of times to check up on my needs and always had a smile. Next, the wait and price.....I order a falafel pita which cost 12.95 w/a drink it also came with a small order of fries but that's kinda on the high side in my opinion. The order took about 15 mins to get which i thought was slow but based on previous reviews I guess is pretty fast for here. The food.....was ok....not the worst but definitely not the best and I'm pretty easy to please. I would of liked a couple of sauce options which I have had at similar Mediterranean places (spicy green, tzatziki) Considering the wait time, and price, I can only give 2 stars, If it were around $8 and I got my food in 2 mins, I could bump it up to a 3.

2

We dined here today. Not impressed at all! We love Mediterranean food, especially kabobs or pitas. We got the kabob platers. While the chicken and shrimp kabobs were pretty good the rest of the platter was terrible! The veggies were soggy and mushy and couscous had zero flavor. The hummus was on the runny side and the cucumber salad was nothing to write home about. It was busy but I think that's gonna change once more restaurants open in the mall. Also the prices were super high for what you get. We could go to Khoury's and get awesome kabob meals for the same price.

1

Service was very friendly. They are missing the mark on food. Salad dressing is store bought. Meats are tough. Hummus is bland. Menu reads super but tastes less than average. Would not come back unless they became a more authentic Mediterranean restaurant.

3

Out for a nice walk through the new Downtown Summerlin and came upon this place. The price was right for our choice of meals. We had lamb and shrimp with a side of what they called feta salad. The salad was 99% cucumber with little to no olives and tomatoes in it. This is the same salad that they used for the pita and by the time you got to the middle it was soggy and falling apart.\nAlthough the pita was good, I would have rather had it stuffed as opposed to a wrap. None of our meals came with tzatziki sauce you had to ask for it.\nHonestly, I don't believe we will be going back for a meal there anytime soon as there are better places to choose from. However, you can judge for yourself it's a fairly new place and the service is great.

5

Eaten here twice now. Every bit as good as the original locations. Yes, it's busy people. There are like 3 restaurants in a new complex that the entire LV area is scoping out. Settle... Food is fresh and the service has been friendly despite the busy environment.

2

Came in with a nice dinner with my parents. After paying for my food I went to grab a drink and they ran out of ice and did not tell us. After bring out our food they took an additional 5 mins to grab us a fork. After complaining about the ice they just said there is simply nothing they can do. I was disappointed by the service.

2

I ve been twice and haven't liked it either time. The lines are crazy long and by the time you get the food it's not good! The hummus come like water and the meat has been undercooked both times! Won't be back sorry to say!!

3

The food is good (same menu as the other locations) but it does take a while for it to arrive. Admittedly it was lunchtime so I suppose the lesson to learn is if you are hungry it is better to come outside of the lunch rush.

3

Food here is an interesting take on Mediterranean standards. Servings come from the kitchen very slowly, but the offerings are tasty. It's not currently a place for a quick meal, but the atmosphere is convivial and staff members are helpful. \nWe three tried the grape leaves (dolmades), which came with a yogurt studded with what seemed to be a sort of pickle. The couscous, flavored with curry powder, and no fresh parsley, arrived warmed with chunks of squash, orange and green, and a side of pita. The soup looked hearty--it was vegetable- and beef-laden. Chicken pita also was among our choices, and the chicken pieces were quite large. Caesar salad is not something we'd recommend. \nOther notes: The pita is flat, sweet, and couldn't be split open. Pita chips are used for croutons in the salad. Fresh brew teas are available, including a good green tea, and are expected to be drunk iced. \nOnce the noon wait time for the kitchen to process orders is lessened, we'll list this store as one to revisit.

A pretty good spot if you are in the mood for some Mediterranean food in Downtown Summerlin. The location is bright and airy, and has an outdoor seating area as well. Everything is made to order, so after you place your order, you'll get a table number and your meal will be brought to you. All in all, it took perhaps 10 minutes.\n\nThe gyros are served with an order of fries, which aren't really that necessary or remarkable. I actually wished that I could order my gyro separately, as with the fries the cost was $8.99. (if they had an option for gyro-only for about $6.50, that would be perfect!). There were large chunks of meat, feta cheese, olives, and cucumber within. It was very tasty, but be careful of those big meat chunks! Although tender enough, I almost choked on one because of the size.\n\nThe restaurant itself was pleasant, but I wasn't crazy about the fact that the bathrooms are located right next to the trash cans, in a small corridor, and they were 1-stall rest rooms. I can see that at busy times, there might be quite a line. They also were already showing signs of use and could have been better maintained.\n\nAll in all, I would return if I were out for a day of shopping.

3

I do not get what the hype about this place was about. Quite mediocre food. Our lamb skewer was overcooked (even charred in spots) as were the shrimp in the pita. All the sides were just so so, about what you'd expect at a food court pita place... Definitely agree with all those who said it's overpriced for what it is.

3

Lamb pita was very good, and the staff was very nice, but it took over 20 minutes to get my order. I'm not sure what the problem was, because they're fully staffed and there doesn't seem to be a rush.\n\nI'll give it another shot, but this wasn't a great first experience

1

Went in around 8pm last night for a quick meal and the restaurant was obviously still new because the area was nice and clean. There was a family of 4 ordering before us and a couple in line behind us and a couple tables were occupied so the place was steady. Upon ordering the cashier was nice and took our order but informed us that our order will need to be placed as a take out order because they are slow tonight and will close. We asked her what time they close and she says 9pm. We also asked if we get our food as take out can we sit in the restaurant and eat the food we ordered. The cashier asked the manager who was behind her and the cashier turned back to us and apologized and said sorry, no we can't eat in the restaurant because they are slow tonight and are going to close the restaurant. \n\nSo as we waited for our food we noticed that more people came in after us to order and it was only around 815pm. Our food finally arrives around 830pm and it was some what prompt but considering a \"slow night\" for them I would think it would be prepared sooner. \n\nMy husband goes and asks the manager if we could sit for a quick bit since they don't close at 900pm and she says we have to be off the property by 9pm. We asked her to elaborate and clarify if \"the restaurant closes at 9pm\" OR \"everyone has to be out of the restaurant at 9pm\" and she says they close at 9pm. Well she finally gave us the ok to sit and eat in the restaurant which we felt like we had to rush through the meal. \n\nI thought that this was ridiculous and completely unprofessional. Basically, and I would have to say unfortunate but worst customer service ever.

4

Just love the crazy pita. Whenever I ask my family where do they want to eat, crazy pita is always one of the top three choices. I have never had a problem with customer service even when they are busy. For everyone who has written a semi negative or absolutely negative review just go to another franchise / chain restaurant and you can eat there microwaved food and get great customer service. I am happy that an independent family owned restaurant opened up in downtown Summerlin.

5

For a fast food joint this place in on point! ;P My favorite is the veggie pita with fries. Very tasty. Super friendly and attentive staff. Clean and bright, too.

I just returned from this great little coffee shop. The owner, Paul, was very welcoming and we chatted a moment about his home country Australia while he whipped up my 20oz latte. \n\nIf you've never been to Latta Arcade/ Brevard Court, it is a quirky hidden gem in Uptown Charlotte. I've lived here 13 years and only found this place when I moved uptown last year. It feels like you've stumbled across a European courtyard with its multiple pubs and restaurants. The thing it was missing was a coffee shop, and Rush Espresso has filled the gap. \n\nAll the restaurants here have outdoor seating and are dog friendly. It is a great place to get your morning jolt and do a little people watching.

1

Well I didn't get a chance to go in because it was CLOSED on a SUNDAY at 10AM. No sign saying we'll be back, or closed for the day or anything. Just lights out. I was visiting Charlotte and looking for a local coffee shop. Disappointed I wasted time walking around the city to find a coffee shop closed on a Sunday.

\"40 is not the new 20\" is awesome! He is hilarious, totally worth the tickets! So happy my husband and I decided to choose this vegas show, we got lucky and met Matt while getting in line, great guy (congratulations on the new baby)! Don't pass this show up, oh and not a bad seat in the house!

5

Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious! One of the best comedy shows I've seen in Las Vegas, and I've been to the comedy club at Ballys and Tropicana several times. I got the tickets comped through showtickets4locals.com, so I was skeptical of the caliber of the show. However, my girlfriend and I were sidesplitting laughing the entire time! I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for and affordable night comedy in Las Vegas.

5

This guy was so funny! This show is great for people in their 20's and older. I went with my family and we could not stop laughing. My uncle and cousin (aka the John Cena look-alike/the two Floyd's) were a major focus of his and had us all in tears! Definitely recommend this show to all. Not to mention drinks were only $4 a piece and tasted great.

5

This is a brand new location open just a few days. I've eaten at other locations over the years. All good experiences. The staff is always very friendly and courteous. Very welcoming! I love the seafood platter, the flounder and shrimp are always cooked perfectly. This new location carry on the goodness. Tonight I got the pita burger. Sooo very delicious!! Puts regular burgers to absolute Shame I tell ya! Every time I crave a burger it will be Showmar's pita burger over all the rest. So glad to have this new location in my neighborhood!!

2

Far below East Blvd Showmars in Charlotte. We have not bothered going back. Fries pasty, fish fishy, gyro dry.

1

food is good, but check your order. I ordered cactus chilli and broccoli cheese soup, and I got 2 broccoli cheese soups. \nalso ordered a salad and only got spoons in my bag and no pita... :/ I rated it so low because when I pay 20 something bucks for take out I expect it to be right. to late to drive back up.

5

WOW WOW . . . I just had the Seared Ahi Tuna wrap and it was HUGE!!!!!! It was light and flavorful perfectly matched with very fresh vegetables.

5

Great food and friendly service. Try the hippie style oatmeal as a twist to the morning

5

I have only eaten there 3 times, but the three different sandwiches i ate were DELICIOUS! The cookies are amazing, if not finite in amount, and huge! Definitely becoming a regular! The fact that they have a Telluride location is just icing on the cake!

5

Fantastic sandwich and even better potato salad if you're in the area you need to check this place out!

5

Wow! This hidden gem of a deli is fantastic! I went for lunch and was not disappointed! Sandwich was wonderful. Really no complaints..if i had any suggestions it would be a bigger serving of side coleslaw. Affordable, friendly, and fast too! Cant wait to go back!

4

The Chipotle of pizza's pretty much! You go in and you get to choose whatever sauces, cheeses, and toppings you want, all for the same price and they bake it within 5 minutes. The girl working there, Ariana, was really nice and very helpful. I think I gave her a hard time because I had no idea what I wanted, but still very nice. Overall, great food, chill atmosphere, nice people.

1

Went in to get a salad and a pizza with my friend today, the lady making our salad was flinging food everywhere while mixing it and put so much dressing on it, that the leaves were wilted before we even started eating it. We couldn't even finish the salad. She also got her dirty hands all over our bowls from making a pizza right before. We also ordered a pookie and she forgot to ring me up for it and then 20 minutes later, she asked for my card to charge me for it and start making it. Then 10 minutes later she tells me the ice cream is all melted and it won't work on top. I told her we were already done eating and I just wanted a refund on my pookie. She acted put out and that she had to find her manager across the street and I said, ok never mind I guess, and she said, sorry, and walked away.

1

Just did an order to go and they completely screwed up my burger, they ignored everything on the order except for the bun.

5

Went to the grand opening and received a free Burger. It tasted like a hone cooked burger. I thought the grilled chicken had too much pepper though. But the french fries= amazing. Before I got to my seat, the burger was there. Angus beef is delish. I went back a few more times and will continue this week.

2

It took fifteen additional minutes, after the rest of the food had already come, to get my son's fries. They were part of the kid's meal, which we clearly ordered, but they didn't come out with the rest of the food, and then the guy who TOOK OUR ORDER seemed genuinely confused when I asked where the fries were.\n\nAlso, if I'm paying a extra dollar for bacon on my burger & they say I'll get three slices of bacon, why would they chop one slice of bacon into three little pieces and tell me they've given me three slices? It's misleading; I wouldn't have paid one dollar for so little of an extra item. They suggested next time I order EXTRA bacon! For another EXTRA dollar! \n\nHow about no. And how about I don't come back.

3

Overall the food was good except my burger was very undercooked. So if you decide to stop in for a burger there make sure you tell them to cook it well done or just to the point where the meat is not mushy like mine was.

2

One word review: Overhyped. The long version: The place was clean, and the service was fast and friendly, but the food is overpriced mediocritize. Trying to eat a little healthier, I opted for the chicken. The sandwich was ok. Good size, with plenty of topping options, but nothing much above average. The fries were shoestrings. Great if you are courting the under 10 crowd, but odd for a premium burger place. All in all you can get the same, or better quality food at In n Out Burger down the street, for half the price. A chicken/vegeburger option isn't enough to bring me back.

1

Some pretty nice things in here. However with the store just opening not a single sales associate said hi or, as we walked past the main checkout area again no greetings. Not off to a great start.

4

I love Ashley Furniture and have gotten a few items from them before, so we went to check out the new store on Sahara. As we walked in, a bunch of sales associates were just standing by the entrance. Three was no greeting or asking if we needed assistance. After about 20-30 minutes walking on our own, I had a question and called out for the first sales associate I saw. Sherry was very nice and helpful and seemed to be sincerely surprised that we were not being helped by anyone. She was very patient with us and our impatient kids. We weren't able to make up our minds in the pieces we looked at, so Sherry made us the print outs with dimentions, prices, and options. As I said she was patient and not pushy as many other sales associates are. The selection of furniture is fair, but it's not a very big store (per sales associate it's 15,000sf vs 65,000sf store with a clearance section we went to before). I absolutely loved the selection of decor though it's quite pricey. If not for Sherry I would have given less stars.

1

Made the mistake of coming back a second time to purchase a dining table. First time was a nightmare (see Ashley Furniture Henderson review) now after pushing a delivery date two weeks already, they are calling me to notify me that the table will be delivered but no chairs are available for another three months... What the hell am I supposed to do with a dining table and no chairs. This company is absolute garbage.

3

This is a brand new facility and very clean! The service is good enough, and the food arrives quickly. The food is also pretty fresh.\n\nI just cannot fathom how they can charge $5.99 for a salad, and charge an additional $2 to add chicken to it. The amount of chicken you get does not amount to $2 worth. \n\nIf Smashburger had prices more on par with their competitors, I would probably eat there more often.

2

2 parts to this review. \nFood - delicious. Love love love the truffle burger. Everything is top notch. And service is excellent. \n\nLocation - (why the 2 stars) - west Peoria Ave location sucks. air conditioning is too freaking COLD. Has been since this place first opened. And I'm not talking oh a little chilly. It's way beyond that. First visit we froze. If it was a typical summer evening, no problem. On our second visit we mentioned it to the girls taking orders and they stood there, no reply, blank looks on their faces. The girl who brought our burgers said corporate sets the temperature. On third visit, a girl told us 3 repair companies couldn't find the problem. And she said the bathrooms wer hot. SO, last week I called before driving over and was told the cooling system was better but not fixed. SO, we went to the west thunderbird location. Much more comfortable. \nNote to management, please please fix the problem. Cause we love your burgers!!

4

It's open. It's chipotle. A little on the small side but there's extra seating in the mall.

2

We were really excited. I mean really excited for this restaurant to open. We eagerly watched the remodel from Table 49 to Fiesta Mexicana and were so happy to have another restaurant near our house. We went in for dinner and as we were walking up to the front door, noticed a lot of after-dinner mint wrappers and cigarette butts on the ground. Sad that customers littered but it detracted from the beautiful building and gorgeous outdoor seating. We were greeted quickly at the front door and the inside has been completely remodeled with lots of uniquely hand-painted chairs and booths. \n\nThe restaurant boasts \"authentic\" Mexican food but it is more like American-Mexican food similar to ordering at a chain restaurant. We were expecting more of an eclectic Mexican menu. We were happy to see octopus on the menu but that's where it stopped. No machaca. The menu consisted of burritos, tacos and the sort with rice and beans. \n\nChips and salsa came quickly after we sat down but there were only about 12 chips in a small hot dog basket. The salsa was very good and we ordered seconds which we received quickly. \n\nDrinks were a beer and pi\u00f1a-colada which were good. We tried to order a skinny margarita but were told it included soda, agave, tequila and standard margarita mix which isn't \"skinny\" so we passed. I'm not sure that the waitress understood what the bartender told her so we'll let that go. \n\nWe ordered the fiesta burrito and the Mexicana burrito. The portions are very large and are a good price for the size. Both had skirt steak which was overcooked and a bit dry and smothered in sauce. Two of us liked the mildly spicy sauce and one thought it could be hotter. Rice and beans were fine. The burritos were okay. \n\nWe also ordered the seafood salad with the dressing on the side. What came was a plate of romaine lettuce with a lot of plain shrimp and 5 pieces of krab on top. There was no skimping on the amount of shrimp and they were big! But they still had the tails on so we had to take the time to shell the tails off each one before it could be eaten. When I asked the waitress for the dressing she first said it didn't come with any. When I pressed her that the menu said it came with a spicy ranch, she returned and said they were out. I ordered a side of guacamole to help with the bland taste but it was very bland too and I had to add salt and lime juice! The salad had no taste and was more like a shrimp cocktail on a bed of romaine with no cocktail sauce. I would not recommend it. It had absolutely no taste. \n\nThe waitress was friendly and checked on us but nothing that would bring us back. We hope some of the issues are because it just opened but due to the collaboration of everything, will stick to our other two Mexican restaurants nearby. Bummer.

Food is over priced and the wattress didn't understand english, will probably not go there again. I give this Restuartant 6 months

1

Horrible food (the most dry taco I have ever eaten and the enchilada was very chewy) and awful service, not to mention a giant cockroach walked right past us to nibble on a piece of meat on the floor. They didnt get our order right and we ended up having to eat it anyway because the waiter never came back to the table, then we had to look for him to pay the bill and then again to get our credit card back. When we showed the manager the giant cockroach he just picked it up with a napkin and didnt even offer an apology. I give them 6 months at most and then they will be out of business.

2

We were sorely disappointed with this restaurant and will not be back! The enchilada sauce tasted just like the can it came out of! The burrito was a sad piece of soggy tortilla with a skimpy amount of beans and cheese. The cheese enchiladas were okay but again the sauce was not authentic and not good! The chips came in a hot dog dish without even a piece of wax paper between them and the basket. The table wasn't clean when we got there and when I asked for the last patron's remnants to be wiped off, the person who seated us came back with a napkin which of course did not sufficiently clean the table. And who, in this day and age, charges for refills? A restaurant that does not expect repeat business, that's who! The only reason we are giving them a second star is because the live mariachi band was indeed entertaining and our server was attentive. The food... forget it!

1

The worst dining experience of my life. The wait staff was god awful. I'll never come back unless I plan on wasting 2 hours of my life waiting for mediocre frozen enchiladas. This place fucking blows.

3

While there were some cleanliness issues, we enjoyed our food. Its interesting to read people complain that the restaurant is not \"Mexican\" enough-that its too Tex Mex. Well then, you've got a problem because that's most of the Mexican restaurants in Chandler and the area. Actually, this restaurant had a much more extensive menu than many other restaurants-they have quite a few seafood and shrimp dishes.\n\nI had the Chicken Mole Enchiladas which is not typically found at other Mexican restaurants. It was pretty good and it was a good size portion. I have had better chips and they certainly could be more generous with them and I do like getting a both a mild and spicy salsa.

1

Surroundings were very festive, but the music was blaring. I ordered one shredded beef taco with rice & beans, my friend ordered a cheese enchilada. I was served a hamburger taco in a pre-made taco shell (the kind out of a box) with the smallest serving of rice & beans I have ever gotten at a Mexican restaurant. My friend was served the same exact thing. She did not send hers back, but I did (If I am going to eat a hamburger taco, I will make it at home, NOT pay $9.95!). I could swear the waiter rolled his eyes as he picked up my plate. I will never go back here again, and I usually will give a place a second shot. Do yourself a favor, if you want a delicious Mexican food meal, go to Nando's or Manuel's!

1

I wish I read the reviews before trying this restaurant! \n\nWe ventured to the Fulton Ranch Promenade to try this Mexican Restaurant. We never had a chance to try the other restaurants in the same location that seem to stay open less than a year.\n\nMy husband and I ordered water with lemons and were disappointed to see that his lemon slice had a large black spot on it, and my lemon slice had several brown spots on them. Yuck, I don't want to squeeze that into my water. Why would you serve this to a customer?\n\nOur server spoke less than five words to us. We understand English is not her primary language. However, she could have been cheerful and welcoming towards us, especially with our small children.\n\nYes, the chips arrived in hot dog baskets. The busboy was prompt and friendly, however, the chip basket was so small - he could not help but touch the chips with his hands while serving.\n\nThe food tasted similar to frozen food entrees I had the pleasure of eating while I was in college....I thought those days were gone. \n\nWe look forward to the next restaurant that opens in this location.

I have to agree with the other complaints. I was excited for a Mexican restaurant to be close to my house. I judge Mexican food by the Chili Rellanos. Theirs was way too hot and I LIKE hot, but CR's are not supposed to be hot. They left the seeds in the Chili Rellanos. So I am back to driving to the \"hood\" for real Mexican food!

1

I think they need to change the name from \"Authentic Mexican\" to \"Authentic Microwave\". I had the worst Chili Relleno of my life. We got there just before 6 on Friday night and the place was packed with people waiting to be seated. We chose to sit at the bar on the outside side. It was dark and the lights out there were not working. Seeing the menu was close to impossible. We ordered 10 dollar Cadillac Margaritas which were the bar $5.95 Margarita with a Grand Mariner side shot. No special Tequila. We then ordered our food........my chili Relleno and my husband's chili verde burrito. When the food came within 5 minutes the red flag went up. There is no way to make a chili Relleno in less than 5 minutes. Really??? It's was COLD on the INSIDE. Best part of my meal......the rice. Sad! My husbands chili verde was tender but someone in the kitchen spilled an entire shaker of salt on it. A very disappointing $50.00 dinner. Won't be back.

1

Terrible! Don't waste your time (we waited over 45 minutes for our food) and your money (overpriced). When the waitress finally showed up we ordered margaritas. It tasted OK but barely had any ice (rocks) to keep the drink cold. We ordered chicken fajitas, a kids meal with chicken strips and fries. The fajitas were so over cooked that the onions were black, charred and petrified. The chicken I could have put a dent in a wall if I threw it and the rice and beans weren't even warm. Assuming the microwave was broken! Now for the kids meal.. How do you mess that up? The strips were almost black they were so over fried, AND neither the fries or the chicken was even warm .. COLD AGAIN.... It gets worse from there. When we told the waitress about the food she apologized and said that they are so busy and that so many things were broken in the kitchen and that we were even lucky to get our food when we did as orders were so backed up. We never saw a manager coming around to see how things were. Especially given the fact that it is a new restaurant you'd think you would see a manager. Our waitress offered to send he food back but after waiting 45 for food, we just wanted to leave. We paid our $50 tab we left and will never be back!

1

horribly disappointing\nour food arrived an hour after we ordered. It was cold. it did not resemble any \"authentic mexican food\" 8 have ever had. We will not return.

2

Not for large groups. We didn't get half of our drinks. Asked several times. We asked several times for silverware. We ended up getting it ourselves. Our food order was all wrong. Half of our group didn't get what they ordered. Good for those who got theirs right. Women's restroom had no toilet paper and no paper towels. While some in my group may go back, I will not.

5

Glad to see a Fiesta Mexicana close by. We have one near our summer home in another state. This was our first time at this location. The facility has a fresh and pleasing decor. We were seated promptly and our chips, salsa and drinks came quickly. Our food was very good. The portions were generous. The staff was friendly and helpful. On the way out several spoke to us and one opened the door for our departure. Will definitely go back. The outdoor seating and bar will be a big plus in good weather.

I would give this restaurant no stars! It was awful! The owner was mean and didn't believe my husband and I that there was a fruit fly that flew out of his rice. The owner insisted he didn't have flys or Mosquitos in his kitchen. He was rude and showed no customer service. I read several reviews on here on the lemons and mine had black spots on them as well. When I ordered my food it was very bland and cold! We had to wait to eat our food because the waitress didn't give us forks right away and we had to continue to wait for everything. The forks, the check, the drinks, etc. I would never eat here again. Customer service goes along way. Oh, and the sign outside says authentic mexican food but there is nothing authentic about it. It taste like Taco Bell. I order a beef chulupa and got some kind of mystery meat.

2

Went tonight for a quick dinner which turned out to be over an hour. Nice decor, very clean but the very slow service (40min wait for our entrees) was way too long. Never saw the waitress again after we placed the order until it was time for the check. When the food arrived, it was only lukewarm and despite my attempt to flag down a waiter to refill our drinks, we were basically ignored. Can't see this place lasting any longer than the other places that have been it this location, will not return.

This place was an all around disappointment. \nWe were greeted with an empty lobby got to stand and wait for a couple minutes til someone came up and said \"two?\" No personality. \nThe interior decor is very loud and old school, it \njust has a cheap feeling to it. \nThe menu is the same way, loud, hard to read and jumbled. \nServer was extremely bland and really didn't have much knowledge of the menu or Mexican cuisine for that matter. \nWe had hopes that the food would make up for the downfall in other areas, no such luck \nThe chips were very bland and cold, the salsa was \nfreshly made but bland and way over-onioned. \nWe ordered fajitas, if a restaurant can do great fajitas, we figure the rest of the menu will be great. \nNo dice, minimal amount of meat, small chunks of overcooked and bland meat made it a huge disappointment. Can't believe I'm saying this but I'd head to Garcias before I went here. \nQuite a disappointment to say the least.

2

No WiFi. Not impressed with the salad that I had (Citrus Turkey). All salads are pre-prepared so they're not fresh at all. \n\nLots of staff on break (3) and they take up 2 of the booths that customers would love to use. LOTS of trash on the floor (a pet peeve of mine).\n\nI expected more, I suppose I set my hopes for a good bakery too high.

1

20 min and no food. \nIs it because I'm Mexican?? I could not eat my food with the people I came with. Also too many teenagers working here I had to hear one little girl complaining about how her ride had been there for 45 minutes and how she just wants to eat and get out of there and a teenage boy was sitting in his dirty uniform with a friend who had come to see him and they both had dumb smile on their faces staring at everyone like they knew something about the food we didn't.

1

I had a bad feeling from when I walked in the door and saw that they were selling a $1500 Christmas tree. Seriously? Are they expecting Bill Gates to walk in and be like, \"Hey, I could really go for a reuben...and a Christmas tree.\" People don't go to a bakery to buy Christmas trees, just like they don't go to Home Depot for fine cuisine. Ridiculous. \nAnyways, on to the food. I've been there twice now and not impressed. The bread and cookies and desserts are good, but that's about it. Don't come here if you're hungry. I've never seen such a sad, paltry amount of meat on a sandwich in my life. There was literally a quarter inch on the sandwich. Maybe they're practicing rationing in expectation of the upcoming food shortage due to Ebola or something. We've had 4 sandwiches on 2 different days and they were all the same amount. My wife had the French dip and it was simply the Great Depression size serving of beef and a piece of cheese between bread. Very underwhelming. We also tried the soup which was bland and definitely from a bag or can. Not homemade. \nFor $8 a sandwich, there better be some meat on it. This place simply doesn't cut it and the crowds will die down once people experience this. \nIf you're an anorexic hipster, this place is straight up your alley, however, if you're a normal human being who likes good value and amazing fresh made food, skip this place and go to Archie's deli instead. I guarantee you won't be disappointed and it's right down the street.

2

Been here twice, with my hubby and we both agree, here is our take.....the order took a very long time for the amount of people in the restaurant. The breads for our sandwiches were good, nothing to brag about but good. The ratio of meat to bread is a joke, the desserts are a good size and we shared, they were good as well. Here is my rub, the prices are just too high for this area. I wasn't impressed with the decor, it appeared like they were trying to pull off a Cracker Barrel , sorry it's jut doesn't work for us. I might try one more visit for a salad, but from the earlier comment I might not. I wish them well, but I'd rather go where I'm seated and waited on for the money we paid.

I had no choice of zero stars, or that would have been the grade. Been there several times, and am waiting for why anyone would ever go there. As usual, long line, help absolutely uncourteous, then no tables to sit, finally found one with dirty plates etc, waited 10 minutes for someone to clean up. Probably should have known that food would be slow as well.Slow, 22 minutes from time of sitting down till it came, no sorry, I had to go and get it. I can see why cinnamon roll and breakfast sandwich would take that long, yikes. The food, breakfast roll had cold everything and still trying to figure out where the egg product came from, but it too was cold. Cinnamon bun was average at best. If you are looking for slow service, below average food, not done food, this is your place...and at a high price tag.

1

I have been here twice and both times very disappointing. The first time was for lunch dining in on a Saturday. The service was ridiculously slow, they served my food to the wrong person, that person touched the food, and then they served it to me. The food was bland. The tables were all dirty, they have as many possible tables to cover every inch of that place and when they were emptying the trash, it was disgusting because of how close people were having to sit to that. Today I went through the drive thru, there weren't any other vehicles in front of me or behind me. As the girl stood at the register laughing, I had to wait 15 minutes for a dessert and a drink. That was uncalled for having to wait so long for those two items. Horrible service and not worth the money. I probably won't be returning and I will also tell others that they would be better off going to Paradise Bakery if they want that type of food.

1

I was so excited for this location. The first time I came here, I was immediately pleased by the warm, pleasant and cozy atmosphere. Their servers were nice, but they messed up my order. They messed up two different times, with two different people. My huge order that was this confusing? A brownie. Luckily, their manager was able to fix it and actually give me the brownie that I ordered. Wonderful. I also decided to order a cup of their turkey dumpling soup, which I couldn't enjoy. Why? The turkey and dumpling soup Kneader's offers is a soup with a couple pieces of turkey and a half a biscuit in it. I was as confused as you are. Today, I decided to give it another chance and order a salad. Impossible to screw up, right? That's what I thought too. So, when I pulled up to the drive thru and the kind woman told me to go ahead and look at the menu and that'd she be with me in a minute I didn't mind much. I waited about five minutes before she finally got back to me and ordered their chicken raspberry nut salad. I get to the window, pay, and wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. To give you an idea of how long I waited: the same girl that took my order and that I paid with, opened the window and asked me if I had been helped yet about ten minutes later. Another five or so minutes go by and I finally get my food. Did I mention that I was the only car there? No one behind or in front of me. This is the last time I will ever go to Kneader's. Besides the horrendous first visit and long wait on my second, the actual salad was the last straw. The \"chicken raspberry nut salad\" promised spinach, chicken, fresh berries, feta, candied walnuts, and onions (I ordered without onions). There were no berries and two walnuts. Seriously. I then opened the dressing and as you can see in the picture it's almost laughable. There's been some pretty bad places in surprise, but Kneader's is near the top of the list. The prices don't help much either. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Even Paradise Bakery is better than this place.

Amazingly fresh, friendly, and clean! Sophia Stucki took extremely good care of us. She knew everything on the menu and explained to us patiently. The ambiance was extremely nice. We are excited that they have moved in the Surprise area!

5

Very clean, great food! Loved the order online option! Order online before I left the house and then picked it up through the drive up window. Very fast that way, no wait!

3

Fresh breads and desserts to go were very good. The sandwiches we had were skimpy and very disappointing and with one cashier we had to wait for fifteen minutes to place an order. We heard the buzz and tried it out, I don't think we'll be going back.

1

After having a decent breakfast at another location last year I decided to drive up from Buckeye(1/2 hour) on Monday (12/01/14). Waited in line for a few and when it got to be my turn the gal behind the counter immediately said we are not serving breakfast. I said why not. She said it is past 11. I said what time is it now? She said 11:03. I had already been waiting in line.

1

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will never go back. They couldn't get our order right again. When I told them about it they wouldn't do anything about. We are done. Been there 3 times now and all 3 times has been bad. To have a good successful business you MUST have good customer service with smiling faces. You sure don't see that there.

3

I don't know if it's only me, but I felt like cleanness wasn't there specially on a brand new place, bathrooms really stinky and dirty all the floors full on crumbs and tables not clean enough, service and food are ok.

5

Geat customer service ! Can't beat prices ! Staff is so helpful ! Check them out juice is amazing and I vape daily . Wax, herb ect they have it all . 180 plus flavors .

I was walking around my neighborhood one evening about a month ago and saw a glowing sign that read, \"Vape and Smoke\". (Or something of that sorts...) I was incredibly happy that I made this discovery as I had recently purchased a vape pen from Circle K, and really enjoyed it ..... At least that's what I thought. \n\nMy husband and I are on Chantix, and even though the cravings are gone for the most part the 'kick' of the menthol is what I miss the most. He had never tried a vape pen and used e cigarettes. I hated e cigarettes, and over the last several years spent hundreds of dollars on them, and hated all of them.\n\nI stopped in one day, (the day after they opened) and purchased a Blowez pen for my husband and a bottle of liquid. I paid only about $10 more here then I did at Circle K. When he fired it up I couldn't believe it! It was smooth, it tasted perfect, and it even had a battery indicator. Amazing! My piece of crap Circle K pen regularly spit liquid into my mouth and never charged right, even after the first use. Needless to say, I went back about 2 days later and bought my own. (In hot pink!) I've had it for a few weeks and love it more and more with each passing day.\n\nThe owners are patient, and always willing to take the time to find the perfect blend for you; and the amount of flavors they have is amazing! \n\nThe prices are great, selection is mind blowing, and the owners are very helpful. \n\nOh! I almost forgot the rewards program! Love it! I get buy 1 get 1 free on liquids quite often and even have $5 off my next purchase.

Decent non-fried food options. Somewhat pricey.

5

This place has only been open a week or so, and I really hope it's here for the long haul. Fresh ingredients and lots of them. Make your own pizza, pasta, or salad (think Chipotle or Subway). They were very nice and the pizza was very tasty. I will definitely be back here often.

2

Went there with my partner, was going to go to the Chipotle next door but this place had just opened up. The pizza, pasta, and salad are all the same price - and assumable the same size - so we got two pizzas and a salad thinking we'd share the salad and have more than enough pizza to bring home as leftovers.\n\nThe pizza ordering experience is similar to ones we'd had in Vegas, basically choose your crust type, sauce, cheese, meat, veggie / other topping. It's the same process for the salad and pasta, same sauce / veggie / other toppings as the pizza.\n\nThe pizza itself is quite good. The crust has a unique and delicious flavor that, in and of itself, would be worth coming here. The toppings and cheese are fresh and delicious.\n\nThe salad, on the other hand, at the same cost as a pizza, is ridiculous. It's a small side salad at best, even adding a number of toppings. Although, again, the veggies are fresh and delicious, it's 10 bites at best. Considering this isn't a side, but something someone would order as their entree, paying $8 for this just isn't justified remotely and almost ruins the whole experience.\n\nThe ambiance is quaint, nicely designed, until you realize an entire wall is dedicated to showing their awesome social media postings with flashing LED strips. So basically think 4 or 5 TVs, each devoted to one social media outlet, with rolling positive reviews raving about the pizza. When you step back and look at everything, this part of the restaurant is clearly out of place. I don't need to be force-fed a restaurant's positive reviews while attempting to enjoy the food.

The curry tastes good but a bit salty. Given the reasonable price I will come back if I'm craving for Thai curry.

5

Great thai food, and fast. I would definitely go there again.

4

The Sweet Potato Curry with tofu (substituted for chicken) was a wonderful post-workout meal. The sauce was rich and flavorful (you decide the level of spice) with plenty of vegetables. I've eaten at the Fitchburg location several times, so I was overjoyed to see them open in my neighborhood. The space is quiet and comfortable with a mix of booths and tables. Place your order at the counter and they bring your meal to your table.

4

Just opened so have some growing pains, but at the end of the day it is about the sushi and quality of fish and they do it well. We've been twice and not had a bad bite. Once the snowbirds come to town..they will be packed. Worth giving a try,and they have 10% coupons in most west side papers.

(*-*)

This is definitely the best sushi restaurant in Surprise! The chefs and wait staff are the bomb! The manager will rock your world! Music is #good vibes

5

The chefs were very nice. Our waiter was friendly & knowledgeable. I would have liked our area bussed more but that would have been my biggest complaint. All in all no biggie. That Red Bull roll should be tested for illegal substances bc that is addictive!\nThank you for the great local sushi joint with service to match.\nMy husband approved of the short skirts on the waitresses. We didn't drink but I can imagine hanging out in their bar area with friends.\n\nP.S. I feel the prices were reasonable as well.

5

Went back again and found the food and service fabulous. The sushi was extremely fresh and appealing. The salad was delicious as was every teriyaki dish we tried. I highly recommend this new restaurant

5

This is the best sushi in the West Valley. I highly recommend!! My daughter lives in San Francisco so I'm used to really good sushi. This is the BEST I've had in Arizona!! \n\nThey're new, give them a try....we want to keep good businesses in Surprise!!

4

I'm a huge sushi eater... and I've eaten at many sushi restaurants in my life.\n\nI've been here 3 times so far. It's a newer sushi restaurant, so it's not busy yet. But the food is pretty good.. both rolls and entrees. Service is decent. Owner is really friendly. The price is a little higher than what I'm used to paying for similar quality, but it's still worth it.\n\nIt's the best in Surprise, AZ area! \n\nI definitely recommend this place.

2

I wasn't impressed with this place. Going to a sushi joint, you always have to be prepared to pay through the nose but here the price simply wasn't worth it. Two and a half people, lunch, $65.10 - and that wasn't including the tip. The food wasn't all that great (RA Sushi in Old Town or Tokyo Lobby in Glendale are far better), but the prices here are just nuts. $12 for a rainbow roll - really? (Tokyo Lobby have them for $10). Even the nigiris are a half buck or more over what they should be charging. $5 for two small pieces of fish and let's face it, 80% of the damn thing is plain boiled rice. They even nickel and dimed us an extra dollar just because we switched one roll to soy paper from seaweed. And a tiny cup of green tea was $2.75.\n\nDefinitely not coming back, I'm afraid. I'd rather make the trip to Tokyo Lobby (which IS the best sushi in the West Valley IMO) where the food tastes better and the prices are more reasonable. I guarantee Uni won't survive in Surprise, not with prices like this and especially not in the cattycorner location they moved into, site of at least four or five other local restaurant failures.

2

I wanted to like Uni's. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. The original order from the Sushi selection form was lost so we were asked to complete another one. A number of items were ordered for the four of us and the food was fair. The order was mixed up though and food we didn't order was presented to us and other items we did order never showed up. One meal in particular (a sushi/sashimi combo) took an hour to arrive. The Manager was apologetic and removed that meal from the bill. I'll give them one more try and I hope they get their act together

5

Had a terrific lunch of sushi. The lunch special came with soup and salad. Order the crazy plate that consist of four pieces of each spicy crab, salmon and tuna. The place is really nicely decorated and clean. Our waitress was very sweet even gave us these delicious cookies. Will definitely be back.
