Fresca Garden — Restaurant in San Francisco

When I rate a place, its not just about service, food, or cleanliness. They passed hands down on cleanliness. Service was lacking, and the food was lacking. I don't go into a place and order the most difficult thing on the menu. I orders garlic curley fries, and jalapeno poppers. I regret tipping before eating my food or getting service. Heres how my experience started. I noticed not a single customer was inside, hesitantly, I walked up after figuring out what I wanted. Asked what the difference was between regular curly fries and the other option on thr menu. The gentleman stated he had been gone for a while and the menu was updated since he was there last. He offered to get someone who could explain the difference for me, but I declined and said that I would just like the garlic curly fries and the jalapeno poppers. I paid, added a tip, then sat down. I waited 10 minutes before the guy who was behind me in line was brought my food. The lady who brought it out looked upset already, I didnt think anything of it. The gentleman who took my order walked up and corrected the mistake, and so I proceeded to eat my food...and I found out that my curly fries were lacking any sign of garlic. So I stood up and walked to the register. When I did, the same lady who brought out my food gave me a dirty look for some reason, I dont believe I had any ill or angry look on my face when I was standing there waiting to ask about the garlic that was missing. But since she gave me a dirty look, I walked back to my table to get the receipt. Then walked back to the register and asked the gentleman as I looked at her with frustration, "are these garlic fries?" Then showed my receipt to her so she could see the fries weren't garlic and that the reciept said garlic. She gave me another dirty look. The gentleman apologized and took the garlic fries. The lady, after that wouldn't even glance in my direction...I was disgusted to the point that I walked out and gave my overcook fries and overcooked jalapeno peppers to a guy who looked hungry enough to not care. 1 star because I have to, the second star for cleanliness. Missing 3 stars for these reasons: 1st: order was wrong 2nd: dirty looks from the lady 3rd:for lack of quality and actually making a decent attempt at fixing my order. And to clarify, overcooked, and garlic clumped on the top. They could have at least tossed it all in a bowl so it was actual garlic fries instead of using a spoon to spread it across the top.

It could have been an off day for them. I will try again or have someone I know try out their restaurant and then...

You ought to avoid anyone who talks about UNconditional positive regard for restaurants and their food. Jayson Blair was a travel writer who cribbed off of other authors and passed them off as his own.

I ate a delicious pizza, Mediterranean style, with salami extra, and Coca-Cola in the glass bottle (Mexican style). I sat down in the limited room inside the restaurant proper, but there is a common seating area just outside indoors, where the restaurants share the area.

As a hayseed, the people are reserved and turned toward their own affairs. I don't find that shocking. That's life in the big city, just the way it is. Further away, there is an outdoor dining area adjacent to an expanse of lawn, where there is a memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There is Joy Ride Pizza not too far from here. A bonanza! Not like the limited number of choices. Rural people find this much choice irresponsible and excessive.

People here like the variety. Sigh!

Anyway, is this about pizza or food? How will I be punished by Google for shoehorning in other comments? I suppose I'm waiting for the hammer to fall. Ben Stein's excited terror filled response. Wait, where did I just eat? Who force fed me this food? Is this Stockholm!

Soul, you didn't get any. Your horse got some and left you starving, right? The pleasures the soul gets are either libertine or should have been ascetic.

I don't have tense ascites and don't need my peritoneum drained, as far as I know, with a long Jamshidi needle. There may be some roly poly dude fat, but not a severe fluid wave.

I'm totally wasting your time by bringing up extra unwanted information. I should stop. The restaurant is about to close. They want me to...

The one star is solely for the owner. God forbid you ask to eat your pizza in house and have a few leftover slices that you need a box to go. The owner asked why i bothered to order for here if i was going to take some to go. Basically he was too stingy to give me a box to go and begrudgingly gave me one of those small little boxes that is suitable for a sandwich or left over fries to squeeze my pizza in lol. Anyhow the guy was just straight up rude, reminding me of Mr Krabs. Also the entire fountain drink machine was out of every single flavor except coke and sprite and when i got sprite it was completely flat so i guess it was only coke that was available so that was annoying but in and of itself was not the end of the world.

The other employees are nice though and the pizza was actually good. I had been there earlier this year and had a good experience. Price while high was not unreasonable given that every other place around there charges about the same.

Owner has a good product but needs to learn customer service. Read the other negative reviews on here, all he does is blame other people and the customers themselves for their complaints, dud...
