    Mediocre burritos. I went there because my daughter likes their quesadillas, but I would have picked another location

    I remember going to Pam’s CalTort in the 90s when she first opened. I went back after several years today. What a disappointment. The chicken was rock hard, unchewable and flavorless except for being way too spicy. I ordered the blackened chicken Caesar, and there was so much greasy tasteless dressing that I couldn’t find the other ingredients. I asked for guacamole, and somehow this mound of this grayish brown mess was plopped in the middle of this bowl of Caesar dressing. If your ingredients like the guacamole and the chicken are that old it means you are being extremely cheap. And sacrificing quality for savings. They also don’t want you staying in the restaurant to east as the seats were hard and uncomfortable, and the ratio of table height to seat was so bad that clearly they had a consultant tell them how to get a customer out of there in three minutes or less by making the seating so uncomfortable.(Yes this is part of restaurant design, how long you want customers to stay). I had always thought the brand stood for quality. Evidently not.. Somewhere written is their slogan they “never want to lose a customer”, they just did.
