Love the gyros tacos on Tuesday for $5! Haven't tried the chicken or beef tacos because I love the gyros but I'm sure they are just as great! They also give you a side of rice which is really good. …

First time coming here. I came on Monday for the cheeseburger and fries special. I paid $8 for it. They have also $5 pints on Monday too. The food was amazing. I will be coming back again.

Came from Vegas, we were looking for a cool spot to watch the UFC fights and this place had good reviews. Wings were super good, staff was super friendly.

A neat little bar in a small strip mall. The bar was really cool. Service was great. You order from the front and get a number and then they bring you the food and drinks. They have a lot of draft beer a d different cocktails.

They’ve got a great beer selection and also a fair amount of tasty cocktails available. The food is decent—I like the chicken shawarma bowl and falafel wrap the most. A lot of people come here to watch sports games, which is fun if you’re …

I had a great time at Balboa Tap House! The jalapeno burger paired nicely with the Grouchy IPA. The Julian Apple Pie Cider was great for dessert. Thank you Ryan, Jolie, and Adan (sp) for making me feel welcome here! And thanks to Keith for the Mystic Haze, and other local brews at Jimbo's next door.
