First Review

Why has it been so long for me to put up my first review? Well, for one, I've been super busy with school, work, and life in general. And, this is my first review. I have to make sure it is a place of significance. A place that I haven't eaten at and forgotten. A place that, in my mind, is a staple of the Inland Empire. So here it is, my first review.

Miguel's Jr.

This is a place I've been eating since 1992 when I first came to college. I love this food so much, at one point, one of the workers there knew several of my favorite meals by heart. There are several of them around the IE, but the one I frequent the most often is the one in Grand Terrace. So I will base my review on that restaurant.

What you see are the chicken taquitos. They are deep fried and the quality varies. Sometimes they are done perfectly, and sometimes they are a little underdone. The good news: I have never gotten sick from eating theses. The guacamole is on the runny side and has decent flavor. This isn't something that you have to try. I give this a rating of 3/5 stars.

What you see on your right is the reason why I go to Miguel's. It is a bean, rice, and cheese burrito. The rice and cheese have excellent flavor. I'm told that if you get it with potatoes, it's even better. But this is the way I like to eat it. I always ask for a knife because I like to cut my burritos in half so they don't pop when you're eating them. It's a good size but I always get the taquitos so I'm full when I leave. You must have a burrito when you go to Miguel's. You can also have them "wet style" which is a red enchilada type sauce.

The restaurant in Grand Terrace is always clean. The staff is friendly and orders are out in an appropriate time. If you can, try to go there in off hours cause if you go for lunch, it will be crowded. You may have to wait, but every one there will tell you it's worth the wait.

So for my ratings:
Taste: 4/5 stars
Service: 4/5 stars
Ambiance: 4/5 stars
Perceived Value: 4/5 stars
So if we use our equation we get 48/60!
Feel free to leave a comment. Have a good day!
