This place does not take allergies seriously. If you have a food allergy, especially a severe one, I strongly recommend staying far away. I clearly indicated my allergy — it was even printed on the receipt attached to the bag. I am highly allergic and have celiac disease. Before eating the food, I called to confirm it was safe, and I was told it “should be fine.” That was completely incorrect. The item contained gluten. Had I eaten it, I could have ended up in the hospital. To make matters worse, when I contacted the owner, I was told it was my fault for choosing something that had gluten — even though it was not stated anywhere on Uber Eats. That response is unacceptable and incredibly irresponsible when someone’s health is at risk. Food allergies are not preferences. They are serious

The food at Tomatillo Taco Joint is always packed with flavor, and this visit was no exception. The space is clean, spacious, and inviting, with great service to match. There’s some parking available outside, though it can be a bit tricky during peak times. The Food: I ordered the Chorizo Quesadilla—it was very good, cooked fresh to order, and served hot. It was a little greasy, but hey, that’s just chorizo being chorizo. My daughter had a Steak Bowl, loaded with her favorite toppings, and she couldn’t stop raving about it. She even said it was the best one she’s had! Both dishes were seasoned perfectly and full of delicious flavor. The Only Downside: As longtime Tomatillo fans, we’ve noticed the portion sizes have gotten significantly smaller compared to years past, even though the pric

Today was the last time, I keep giving them chances, but now I’m done. And I don’t even know if this is worth it, I doubt they read these. I ordered a Burrito Bowl. What I always get. The first thing they ask is “would you like a Tortilla in it?” Today, she didn’t bother to ask so I told her, she ignored me. A tiny scoop of rice, small scoop of chicken, some cheese and a mound of Chili…$20.00!! Are you kidding me? The online Menu says $13.95! It was to go, no napkins. Three years ago I ate here and got so SICK I almost called for an ambulance, but after not going for three years I started going back. Every time I go, the food is fine but the price keeps creeping up. I get it, inflation, but $20.00 for close to nothing? And not even the listed menu price? Never going back, I’m done and I’ll

Incompetent owner and staff multitasking like crazy in the meantime food is never ready on time, overpriced for late cold and small portions meals, not worth it, no wonder why restaurant is always empty
