Waba Grill - Fontana Location

New job, new places to eat. Overall I was a little disappointed, I personally prefer Flame Broiler than this place. They are very similar in scope. Both are terriyaki bowl type places, noth have Kim Chi, both have brown rice options, this place has Salmon as a menu option also, also both have their spicy sauce and hoisin type sauce (although here is isn't called "magic sauce". This place seems to be a tad more expensive.

Today I ordered the beef bowl and a soda. I was taken aghast that the meat+veggie options cost more than the pure meat option. Initially I wanted to go healthy, but based on the price, I had to go with the pure meat option. It still cost almost 8 dollars for myself.

Beef Bowl - no onions

The beef bowl is a charbroiled beef in their Teriyaki type sauce. The beef was well done, not burnt anywhere, It was not dry. I tried a little bit before drenching in hot sauce, and it was decent but unremarkable. After adding the spicy sauce, it was a little better, but not quite to my like as Flame Broiler. The spicy sauce is more sour here and less spicy overall.

Service was ok today, place was relatively packed with clients.

Overall a 3 star performance. I may be back one day to try on of their bowls, but there are so many options nearby at similar prices, I would have to try those first! (Including the Sizzler salad bar, but even that is 7.99).

Joe's Mexican Food

Best Carne Asada in Town.... with a sign like that, I had to stop by after a trip to the post office.

This is located on the southwest corner of Foothill and Sierra in Fontana. There is a small parking lot out back. The place itself reminds me of a doughnut or milk drive thru from the old days, except they no longer have drive thru windows. It also reminds me of most Wienershnitzels. There is one ordering window and one pickup window.

On this day I ordered what they called the best:

I had the All Meat Carne Asada Burrito, and a side of french fries.

The fries when hot were tasty, but were not salted evenly and mostly not salted enough.

The burrito overall rates pretty high on my lists. The complaints are that its uneven also, most of the cilantro, onions, and sauce ended up being on one side of the burrito. That side of the burrito was excellent tasting! The side of the burrito that got missed was a little dry and bland. The green sauce is typical and not spicy at all, which I sort of expected. The red sauce had minimal kick, but left me disappointed as well.

Price was pretty good, definitely can get more bang for my buck here than at Taco Factory.

Taking into account this is a tiny sort of dingy hole in the wall, I actually give the burrito 4 stars. The location as a whole, and the fries kind of lack though, and overall I'll give 3.5 stars.
