Fast n Fresh

Not much ambiance, but the food was delicious. I had the Fast N Fresh burrito with barbicoa and guacamole. Everything was fresh. The meat was tender and juicy, and the guacamole was real. I was served by Linda, who was friendly and courteous, and very patient in explaining everything so that I could have exactly what I wanted. Overall terrific little place.

Saw my safety manager with this amazing burrito at his desk and I had to ask where he got it. I went and tried one and will go out of my way to order from here now. Prices a little high, and with the exception of the terrible tortilla chips, you get what you pay for in quantity and quality easy!

The cleanliness and organization can clearly show a lot and this place is no exception. You enter and everything is in order and the food prep area is spotless and well organized. The name of the establishment is definitely taken seriously and you'll get food that is not only fast and fresh, but also incredibly delicious. Give it a try and while you're at it, go and get some flowers for mom down at the flower shop next door.

If you drive by you might miss it, it's in a corner by a gas station and car wash. First time coming here and it was amazing! Great service and amazing food. Got three tamales which were delicious and a guallaba drink that was super fresh. Staff is very friendly as well. Their menu has a variety of food and drinks for every taste. Highly recommend.

The quality and cleanliness of this gas-station restaurant was beyond unexpected. The fish fajitas were a surprisingly good choice and cooked perfectly. I also appreciated the low carb options. Their Al Pastor was a nice blend of savory and a touch of sweetness from pineapple. Overall, absolutely amazing food!

Love the service and food. Prices are great! I love their mini breakfast burrito. Their tamales de raja and beans/rice plate is my go-to. Their aguas, specifically spinach-pineapple is the best. Their salsas are awesome, I always get both. The red salsa (their spicy) is my fave salsa in LA.

Everything on the menu is amazing.. the staff is very polite and is also bilingual. My favorite is the burrito the beef they use is just the bomb 💣 and you have to try their fresh water 💦 they also have a nice patio where you can enjoy your meal before you get back on the road I give this place and staff a two thumbs up 👍

One of the best places in the San Fernando Valley. Found this place about 1 month ago and me and my wife have probably been here 1 or 2 times a week. The best Carnitas Burritos by far in the San Fernando Valley. Always packed with meat and alway fresh and you can make 2 meals out of it. Great salsa and a must try are there Tortas and Tamales. You won't be disappointed that you stopped by.

Savory fajita plate with carnita and camaron over a bed of rice, lettuce, dressing and guacamole. Loved it! Thank you for excellent service!

Fast n fresh is a small hidden Mexican grill. I believe I got the Aztec torta, it was full of flavor, the veggies pretty much fresh, the salsa is beyond delish. I usually get full fast, but I enjoy the Aztec torta i had to finish it all. The price i pay for eating here was perfect for the amazing food I had. For my drink I got a freshly made pineapple & spinach water drink. I would be visiting this place again

Fast N Fresh Mexican Food has become one of my go-to spots for Mexican food in the city of Sylmar. It’s super close to me, which makes it incredibly convenient—especially when I’m picking up food on my way home from work. I also love that it’s a perfect stop for breakfast burritos before heading out camping or to the lake. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made just the way you want it. My absolute favorite is the Mar y Tierra burrito—it’s packed with flavor and never disappoints. Great local spot, reliable quality, and perfect for grab-and-go meals. Highly recommend if you’re in or around Sylmar! 🌯

Delicious ‼️The freshly prepared food was tasty. I enjoy the menudo, perhaps too often. You have the option of with or without hominy. The provided side sauces allows you to adjust the heat to your liking. The staff are attentive and helpful. As a handicapped person, they do not ty the knots too tight and always offer to help with my order to my car.

I've been enjoying this restaurant for over 10 years now. The best food, the best service, and the best staff.

This place should have a line outside down the street. My favorite commuter pit stop when ever I can. Great food. Huge portions and very fair prices. I ordered the lunch chicken burrito which is on there daily special board and comes with chips, soda and two sauces. If my wife found out I ate the whole thing she'd kill me. Amazing fresh and healthy ingredients and only $9.99. The place is spotless, and obviously well set up with a great light board menu. The staff are hard working, respectful, friendly and they are not afraid to smile. The owners somehow have attracted quality people to work there. You absolutely must stop here. Easy to find. The location is very convenient for road trippers as there's a gas station/mini mart, car wash, jiffy lube and bathroom which is where you'll find the line down the street! 😉

Don't let the location fool you. This is some of the best mexican food around. We found this restaurant on accident when we had to get gas on our way home from vacation. It is just a small counter service restaurant tucked into a corner of a has station parking lot. Ever since finding it we stop here every time we are in the neighborhood. The food is fresh and tasty. The portions are huge! And the Mangonada is the best I've ever had. Was just there last week and I'm already looking forward to going back at the end of the month. Definitely give this place a try. You will not regret it!

Tried the New California Burrito for some reason and was pleasantly surprised. It was hefty. The asada was excellent and there was plenty of it, guac and sour cream were present but the lettuce and fries gave it structure. The fries seemed fresh cut and were actually cooked well, with plenty of salt and extras were served on the side instead of chips. Ended up being worth the money and lived up to the name. Fantastic salsa and they put it in a larger cup, that's a great move. Thank you Fast n Fresh

The avocado salad is amazing. Everything is cut up fresh for each order. Also, chips are made to order. The entire restaurant is super clean and foods are not cross-contaminated during preparation. Everything about them is 5-stars!

Second time here and just as good. I tried the carnitas burrito this time. It could have had a lightly saltiness for the bite of it but it was still good enough to not even ask for salt. The pork was tender AND juicy with no dryness at all. The flavor was straightforward pork. The beans and rice SEEM almost plain, but are still a great compliment to the pork. What I've tried so far has had a great balance to it. The staff has been friendly. It's clean in the dinning area. The prices seem fair for how much food they give you. I enjoy it enough that I'm taking another burrito home with me and I live just over an hour away. Yup. I even look forward to eating it cold!

The breakfast burrito is enormous!! Eggs, potatoes, and bacon. I had to save some for leftovers because I couldn't finish it.

Nice clean meat, good drinks, and a clean environment and welcoming atmosphere. It lacks a bathroom and sometimes the quality of the meat can differ. Overall, its a great place to get some quick tacos.

Great food! The time to wait was a bit much, but the food was well worth it. If you know what you want, order ahead of time. Parking wasn that great, die to it being in a gas station lot, but not too big of an issue. I am definitely trying more food from here and the only reason I put 5 stars, was because I asked for deep fried tacos, but got grilled. Other than that, awesome place so far!!

I ordered the $10 carnitas burrito lunch special. It was so yummy!!! The burrito was huge and the pork was so tender and flavorful. Great deal and I enjoyed the leftovers for dinner also.

Fantastic breakfast burritos! In the morning they have hot and ready grab and go burritos! Food is fast, filling, and delicious. Parking can be a challenge but worth it. Not a lot of room inside, best for takeout or dine on the patio. I RECOMMEND!

This place is great! They really know how to make fresh Mexican food! It's not a generic Mexican restaurant at all. This place has flavor, the portions are big too! Breakfast to me is the best! I recommend the breakfast torta that has avocado in it it was fantastic! If your reading this I really would like you to enter this place is a rare encounter if you never really had "real" Mexican food. They aren't lying when they say it's fresh!

Okay, so you’re looking for a quick bit to eat and not too bad on your pockets, this is the place for you. Normally there is a line so if you can order ahead, I would. The customer service is good and they ask the necessary questions to make sure your order is right before making it final. I got supreme nachos today and by the look of my before and after videos, you can tell I liked it. I got it without beans just because I don’t like to do all the carbs at once but still, it worked out for me. They plenty of options for other choices in food and you can customize it how you want it. I would definitely recommend you go to this place. Try it out. Most people probably see it from the freeway or stumble upon it when they get gas. That station is really popular. Oh yeah, they have fresh Fresca at the restaurant also. Very good and very fresh. You won’t be disappointed.

First time here, ordered a carne asada quesadilla. It was okay, meat was tasty and tender, it was very filling. I think I didn't like the cheese they used. Came in the next day for breakfast and ordered pancakes w/sausage, potatoes and egg. Everything was good except the pancakes, they tasted like the frozen ones or like McDonald's pancakes, no flavor not even with butter & syrup. I was really wanting some yummy buttermilk pancakes.

I liked this place a lot. I got there at 11:40 for lunch and was eating before noon. The inside is small, but didn't seem crowded. I chose to eat on their patio as it was a nice sunny day. I ordered the Wet Bowl with Steak. The food was good and the portions we're large. I ate too much.

This place is okay. It could be much better, however. Price is fair, people that work there are cool. But, unfortunately, they ruin their burritos with LETTUS... seriously, why the lettus...?... if I wanted a salad I would order that. Come on guys. Who's idea was this? Shameful. Aside from that, place is great.... watch out for parking, though.

This place has consistent and tasty food, fresh fruit and vegetable juices and good salsa. The smell of the mesquite wood fire is also very nice and gives good flavor to the food. It is tucked away in the corner of a gas station parking lot but it is definitely quality food.

The people seem nice but unfortunately the food isn't very good. I went with my mom and she ordered chicken and rice while I ordered chicken fajitas. When we got our food it was the exact same dish just different names. Mine was salty and my mom's was very bland. Not worth the price in my opinion.

It really is a hit or miss with this place. I ordered a torta, Mexican style and the carne asada is my protein of choice, well it was chewy, some of the meat had nerve endings, which I'm not a fan. The base of the torta is there and last time I had it, it was delicious, not this time. I guess for 15$ I'm expecting for it to be 10/10 always, but sadly it's not. I also received stale tortilla chips, this place is not one I would return to, rather drive to foothill and get food. Convenience is not always good.

Very poor service. Ordered food that never got to our table and when we asked where's our food the two employees said they were making it right now. All while she was not preparing anything but just wiping the counters. I said we ordered before all the people that you were just served and they just looked at us. My husband had noticed the cooked left and had walked a out of the store. So he said for the cashier to just give us a refund. So we spent to much for just our sodas. Better deals next door and faster service.

I gave one star because I was not able to give zero stars. I was very disappointed with this Mexican restaurant the horchata was prepped and ready to take, the cinnamon was all the way at the bottom and it tasted super watered down. Since it had been prepped we as customers don’t know how long it has been sitting there for. Definitely don’t recommend the horchata here.

I ordered the chicken plate and a raspados. Chicken says grilled, didn't look or taste grilled more like griddle cooked. The order before mine must have been seafood as that's how it tasted.The quality of the food was below average. The mango raspados was so sweet it wasn't drinkable. I threw all of it the trash. What a disappointment with good reviews and a waste of $14. BTW there's a minus in front of the star.

I'd just given birth and all I wanted was an authentic burrito. Got one from here and it was the absolute worst burrito I've ever had in my life. Not authentic at all burritos made for white people on par with Chipotle except the rice and beans didn't have any flavor so really.. worse. Sad.

The food was just disgusting! The taco shell for the chicken tacos were over cooked and too hard to bite,. Also, just big chunks of overcooked chicken. The presentation was sloppy and the food wasn’t even standard chicken taco quality. Ugh!! Never again!!

Nothing fresh about this place. The chips were stale. The enchiladas seemed like they were microwaveable store bought ones. The beans were from a can. The only thing good was the salsa. When the gas stations food is better than yours, that's telling you something.

Unacceptable and unnecessary behavior from the staff. Over $100 was charged for not providing us with plates, utensils, or napkins. This was a dreadful experience for my family of four. The employees, primarily women, assumed we did not speak Spanish and made derogatory remarks about us. They made numerous negative comments that we disregarded. We were forced to use Togo boxes provided for our convenience, as we were on a family vacation from over five hours away. Despite our attempts to ignore them, they continued to gossip about us. My husband waited for the food, but they still persisted in their negative comments. I have not even attempted to eat the food since the service left a negative impression on me. Ambiance needs to be restored.

Trying to support my people but it’s the third and last time i buy anything there they always cut u short with the meat and the menudo the same

Make sure you check check your food before you leave. I bought a $15.00 burrito, got home and it wasn't anything I ordered, sad. Do better
