When Living Social had an instant deal of $6 for $10 worth of food, I decided to snap it up. It would be a good opportunity to try finally try their burgers.
I went with the Cabo Chicken Burger, which consisted of bacon, avocado and blue cheese. All three ingredients I love very much so I was sold! I went full out and got the combo – fries and soda, for $9.49. But I only had to pay $6! Bargain!
The burger was surprisingly decent – two grilled chicken breasts, melted blue cheese on the bottom bun, avocado spread on the top bun and crispy bacon. Although, I would've preferred slices of avocado instead of it being it spread. Good portion of chunky fries too.
Would I go back without the deal? Meh. Maybe.
Fresco 57 is sooo clean. It's fantastic. This is your standard burger place. The prices are reasonable: two cheeseburgers and fries came out to around $17. The burgers are huge, and you definitely don't need the fries at all.
There are also burritos, sandwiches, and all sorts of other things. Perfect if you are meeting someone for lunch on a lunch hour! I wouldn't go out of my way to get to Fresco 57, but it's great if you need something quick and in the area.
I work around the area and Fresco is the go to spot when in doubt. Not only that they have reasonably priced burger combos, they also have sandwiches, salads, and now tacos/burritos. The best sandwich that I always get is Ultimate BLT on flat bread with guacamole. Their tacos are pretty good also and you can customize the three meats you want in the taco. I would stay away from the chicken sandwiches because the chicken lacks flavor and very very thin. This place is always packed during lunch time so be prepared.
Although I have been back several times since writing the first review for Fresco 57, I thought an update was in order. Fresco is obviously keeping people well fed and happy, because I went there for lunch yesterday and it was PACKED. I got a chicken parm on whole wheat and they do a good job tag-teaming orders: one guy gets the bread, another cuts the meat, and one more puts on the condiments. You can really be in and out of there in 5 minutes. My sandwich was tasty as usual. They seemed to be handling the volume of customers pretty well, and they are also keeping the seating area clean as well.
If your a student of hospital staff, this is the place to come if you don't want to travel as much, I've gotten the burritos here and oh boy how I dread that theres no chipotle or dos toros near by =/ If your looking for a burrito spot, travel a bit…this is basic stuff that even you can put together.
I don't know what to make of this place. The cheese burger was very good – juicy and flavorful. Fries good too. On my second visit I ordered the Cabo Chicken – absolutely awful. The chicken was dry and flavorless. Served on a bland hamburger bun. Disgusting. I'll stick to the burger if I ever come back.
Not a bad lunch spot if you live or work in the area. Burgers & chicken sandwiches are pretty good and ready fast. I haven't tried the burritos but did have a deli sadwich and it was ok. Guacmole on it was so-so. I hate that they charge you for extra sauces, even when you removed items (like cheese) from an order.
It's an ok place for take out
Decent food.
Good grilled chicken…..though I prefer free range,mic I don't mind that part it's good! Good bacon on the Cobb salad. Fatty bacon which is nice;)
Cobb salad good and burrito bowls good. Burritos good. Good place to get a filling meal if u aren't worried about breast fat and calories. Not my top choice after a week of indulgence.
Fast delivery. Efficient delivery. Have ordered thru work many times and have to say they have had issues getting the order right but given how often a big group of us orders, they do ok.
Try em for delivery. Prob would not eat there…..much better in neighborhood……unless u just want a burrito!
